EQUIPMENT
DESCRIPTION
The T-12S Recon Shuttle is a light and maneuverable craft meant for long range reconnaissance. The ship itself is an advanced version of the older T-6 Tranport Shuttle, a model used primarily by diplomats, senators and other negotiators during the waning days of the Republic and rising era of the Old Empire. Updated and outfitted for a newer and braver frontier, brash with lawlessness and disorder, Slayn & Korpil decided to break into the open market with an affordable and modifiable craft for a variety of needs.

This specific T-17S model was purchased a number of years ago by the a small family seeking to move to the planet of Sulon. It sports a white and grey exterior devoid of any markings, and appears almost identical to most models of it's like, with exception to a modified interior suited for transforming the vessel into a home away from home.

ARMORY
  • Ember Armor
  • Rag Tunic
  • Vibro-Halberd
  • Vibroswords x2
  • Durasteel Bolas x3
LEGALITY
The vehicle is old but well equipped, and requires licensing as well as a working transponder with the appropriate records accessible on demand of authorities. Failure to comply with these regulations will label the vessel as restricted or illegal, and will likely result in impounding, arrest or destruction.

INTENT
Liked the look of the T series shuttle but couldn't find much reason to modify an existing one, so I instead reskinned a blastboat to resemble on as a newer model. If this makes the vehicle restricted please let me know but as far as the labels go I seem fine.

nice job on the custom writeup. I recognized the similarity in look to the original dynamic class freighter design. There is a submission of one in generic tech too submitted by another member if you also want to have a look at that just since people easily miss other people's generic tech.

The reason for the write up was honestly a tuneup on weaponry, more than anything. Tried to make a shuttle that was both maneuverable and hit like a freight train but acted in essence like a glass canon.

This ship relies on its speed to survive against better outfitted ships, something I don’t think this other write up really conveys with the specifics of its systems. But it is cool to know others used similar designs - I might change mine lol.

Can you please include which ship you based this on? Generic ships must be based on an existing approved submission.
