DESCRIPTION​

The Vector-class shuttle, commonly referred to as simply the Imperial shuttle, is a utility spacecraft developed by the Imperial Fleet Works corporation. Standard issue to most Sith capital ships and garrisons, the type has become synonymous with the Imperial military, although it is also sold on the civilian market in limited quantities.

The Vector is a basic craft, able to carry up to 30 tons of cargo in addition to 2 crew and 6 passengers. It is equipped with a class 6 hyperdrive, light deflector shields and a dual light laser cannons on a forward flex mount. Consumables can last the crew up to a standard week, and amenities are basic but adequate for a voyage of this duration. Maneuverability is average for a ship of its size, and top speed is about 50 MGLT.

The Vector is noted by its crews for having unusually poor visibility from its cockpit, which is slightly recessed in the hull. Pilots are more reliant on sensor data for navigation than on some other types of shuttle.

LEGALITY​

Legal. The Vector-class shuttle, though its is used by military forces, has no features precluding it from civilian sale.

INTENT​

To create a standard shuttle for use by Imperial forces.

ADVANCED TECH​

No. Vector-class shuttles are fairly standard designs, and not inordinately hard to get hold of.
