  • Defensive Capabilities: Manufactured with some of the most durable and borderline impervious starship-level materials available, as well as boasting significant active defense measures, including a plethora of anti-projectile systems, an even greater variety of shields, flare launchers, electronic countermeasures and laser-reflective armor lining. The AV86 Condor does what it says on the tin, and anyone who is looking to take down a Condor will be needing a much bigger stick.​
  • Holding Capacity: Able to transport at maximum 55 passengers with its optional center seating row included, or 35 passengers without it. Along with being able to hold fifty tonnes of cargo internally, and carry anything up to and even beyond an AT-ST walker underneath itself via magnetic clamps. Even a single Condor is more than capable of fulfilling most transportation tasks required by its operators.​
  • Speed and Manoeuvrability: Maintaining greater abilities in these than most would assume given its appearance and role, the Condor can both reach very high speeds in atmosphere/sub-space and perform very well in regards to agility and manouverability, making it a suitable choice for urban environments, asteroid fields, jungles or other locales where any number of obstacles could be in the way. It also enables vastly shorter travel times for its time-way operators. It is also able to hover in one place, take off and land vertically.​
  • Electronically Secure: Hosting in-built encryption modules utilizing bio-hexacrypt, as well as electronic countermeasures, the AV86 Condor is not only physically secure, but electronically also. Making sure that any communications originating from the craft are more than protected from any would-be splicers, this makes the Condor suitable for more discreet clientele, while also ensuring it a degree of protection from EMP and ion based weaponry.​
  • Survivability: With the seating compartments for both passengers and crew protected by durasteel support structures and an in-built anticoncussion field designed to negate any major kinetic impact, such as a crash landing or collision. The survivability rate for organic beings and even cargo inside the Condor is extremely high. Customer safety is number one with the AV86 Condor.​

  • Lack of Armaments: Given its civilian nature, this might come to be expected. During its development more or less the entire focus of the Condor was put into its defensive capabilities, while its own proactive weaponry was entirely neglected, being seen as unnecessary. The AV86 is designed to allow itself to escape from any kind of engagement or ambush unharmed and to allow greater accessibility to hostile environments, due to its extensive defense abilities. It is not intended to fight.​

The AV86 Condor Utility Shuttle, otherwise known as the Condor or the AV86 is an armored civilian transport ship produced by Osato Aerospace, a subsidiary of NAKAIOMA. Ordered by Osato Aerospace's parent corporation for exclusive in-house use only initially, the success of the Condor in practical applications within the corporation prompted OAC to release it into the greater galactic market. Named after a predatory, but resilient bird from the Mid Rim, the Condor can hold up to fifty five people with the ship's optional center row of seats included, in its default configuration, which is generally considered more safe for the passengers, it can hold thirty five people. Designed to allow a degree of modularity for the operator, the Condor's interior seating arrangement can be changed by the owner of the craft at a whim, enabling less or more seats depending on their requirements. Likewise it also maintains a vast storage capacity for cargo transportation and with its four rotatable jets, is capable of hovering in one place, or landing and taking off vertically.​

Advertised primarily on its immense defensive capabilities and durability, the AV86 Condor is equipped with a wide array of anti-projectile systems, shielding and electronic countermeasures, as well as laser-reflective armor and magnetic seals. It is also somewhat unique in its hyperspace-capabilities, though obviously not as fast as some other ships, it is still able to jump to hyperspace, while ordinarily the Condor is already known for its very high speed and higher than average manoeuvrability despite its large size, enabling it to perform well in even close-quarters, skyscraper ridden urban environments and noticeably cutting down travel times for owners. For the role of crew, the Condor allows the owner to choose between an autonomous droid pilot brain which can receive and act out commands based on destinations, or utilize organic crew, of which the Condor requires two, a pilot and co-pilot. With no window-port viewing available, the organic pilots will rely on the digital interface located within the cockpit, connected to a series of exterior miniature-cameras located across the shuttle to relay a real-time high-definition feed to them, this also enables the pilots to switch their view to night vision, thermal vision, infra-red vision and more.​

Beyond its internal cargo capacity, the Condor is also capable of carrying massive external weights, with field tests confirming that it is able to lift objects heavier than the average AT-ST walker. Magnetic clamps located on the belly of the AV86 allow it to lift external objects without the need of a sling. Since its release onto the civilian market, the AV86 Condor has seen extensive use in the corporate world, as well as by certain government agencies. It has seen success in disaster relief operations, working under humanitarian groups, and VIP transportation, as well as simple cargo transportation or the movement of standard corporate employees. In its default setting, the Condor is not designed for luxury, but rather practicality, not uncomfortable by any means, as it is ergonomically designed with both larger and smaller groups of passengers in mind to ensure enough space and comfort for each passenger, but aesthetically it is very practically designed. Many customers have changed this with their own Condors, and Osato Aerospace does not have any official position on such cosmetic modifications of their craft.​

The survivability of the AV86 Condor is also something which has been applauded, protected by anti-radiation as well as anti-shock and concussion lining, the passengers and crew are entirely secured from both atmospheric disturbances, the dangers of space travel and the rare event of a crash landing, with the Condor able to absorb most of the impact in place of its passengers. Equipped with military-grade, state-of-the-art oxygen processors and other life support systems, including a sophisticated temperature control unit, fire control grid as well as in-built synthicators and replicators, to manufacture items which the occupants may need, the Condor is equally capable of keeping its occupants alive for significant amounts of time. Of course, none of this will be required due to the inherent safety of travelling in an AV86 Condor. Antishock fields and kinetic dampeners built into the rims of the shuttle meanwhile enable an incredibly soft and comfortable ride, equal to that of a luxury landspeeder. Something rare in shuttles such as the Condor, but yet another example of the attention to detail paid with its development.​

Separated from one another by a sealed and secure cockpit, divided by a reinforced duraplate-duraplast wall, much like the secondary layer of the shuttle's exterior armor. The pilots (If the client chooses to use organic crew members) maintain full control of the shuttle's systems, and are able to immediately lock themselves in and pressurize the cockpit in the event of an attempted hijacking of the shuttle, an incredibly rare chance and near-impossibility, given its defensive capabilities, nevertheless. The primary hold of the Condor in its default configuration consists of two rows of seats along each of the shuttle's walls, with an optional center row of seats being available for clients to use and put it away at their leisure as it is installed into the ceiling and can be folded or unfolded. The row seats can be folded into the walls as well, if the owner wishes to use the Condor for cargo only.​

Aerodynamically designed from the ground up, the Condor's smooth shape combined with its four fully rotatable repulsorlift 'leg' engines, alongside the two rear engines grants the shuttle great agility and situational advantages. Fitted with several encryption modules located throughout the interior comms network of the shuttle, with a number utilizing bio-hexacrypt code, the Condor can guarantee secure communications to and from itself, like much of the shuttle this can be modified by any particularly skilled users. The Condor's optional droid brain can also be used in unison with organic pilots, allowing them to switch on a sophisticated variant of autopilot to assist them in particularly hard landings or manouvers. The AV86 Condor is currently manufactured on a massive scale and is advertised towards both private and public organizations, one of the advertising slogans for the Condor reads; "No Business is Complete without a Condor."​
