- CAN TAKE A LICKIN' ...: The transport is meant to be able to get people, cargo and mechanized vehicles in and out of areas as quickly as possible. It is obvious they would be targeted heavily so the armor and defensive systems in place counter that to the best of their ability.
- COMBAT HOVER ...: While repulsor lift technology allows for VTOL modes, the "combat hover" ability allows for slow hovering movement and positioning for not only drop and extraction but drop.
- LARGE CARGO BAY AND RAMP: A Mechanized roller could easily roll in and out of the loading bay if necessary, as well two entire platoons and their gear.
- EXPOSED ENGINES: A well-placed shot could disable either engine and effectively ground the ship
- HERKY JERKY: The ship is highly maneuverable, but without almost constant practice, the controls can put the Pegasus out of control.
- EXPOSED COCKPIT: It's not an easy shot at all, but the cockpit is vulnerable to a marksman with a strong weapon.
- SUPERCHARGER: The Supercharger allows for overclocking the engines, but after about ten minutes of use needs to cool down. Only for extremes
DESCRIPTION
The "Shepherd" is very much the little sisterto the Gunship and Transport of the same name; the Cherub. The Shepherd is meant to basically be a "flying tank", they can take a pounding and get to the targeted areas and either drop off or pick up their cargo not to the level of a military grade ship, but still well protected. They are not fighters but any means but are fairly maneuverable for their type, meaning that they are not going to just sit there and let you hit them over and over again. Even the exposed engines are protected to not sit for hours on end, but to be able to withstand more than one hit.
