DESCRIPTION
The LB-700 is a small, relatively fast shuttle produced by the Rontorque Manufacturing corporation of Tatooine, one of the desert world's only large industrial concerns. Despite its humble origins, however, the LB-700 has found respectable sales in markets scattered across the Outer Rim, and has developed something of a cult following.The LB-700 is 20 meters in length, and is arranged in a rough lifting body configuration, giving it decent aerodynamics compared to many starships. Able to carry 10 tons of cargo and 12 passengers, it has a crew of 3, including a pilot, co-pilot and flight attendant. Only the pilot is strictly necessary to fly the ship, the co-pilot being legally necessary to carry passengers under most jurisdictions, with the flight attendant seeing to the comfort and other needs of said passengers; some budget spacelines will omit the flight attendant to lower ticket prices, at the cost of service. The LB-700 is protected by shields, as well as a single light laser turret for defense; when used, the turret is usually operated by either the co-pilot or the flight attendant.
The LB-700 is a popular short-haul passenger hauler in many parts of the Outer Rim, although some independent owners prefer only to haul freight, renovating the passenger accommodations into an additional cargo bay or living space. It is also sometimes carried by large passenger and cruise liners, which use LB-700s as a launch for ferry crew, passengers and supplies to and from destination worlds.
LEGALITY
Legal. LB-700 shuttles are considered innocuous enough under most jurisdictions, and can be registered without undue fuss.
INTENT
To create a standard type of shuttle used by everyone.
ADVANCED TECH
No. LB-700 shuttles are reasonably common throughout the Galaxy, and are fairly easy to buy, steal or otherwise acquire.
