BIG Z1776
Baboon with a MAAWS
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
A simple passenger transport with some decent cargo space for transporting dry cargoes of different types. These jets are very commonly seen in use by different passenger lines and transport lines in the Crossroads colonies. They are also large enough and fast enough to be economically used taking passengers along with small batches of cargo to and from dozens of nearby worlds with some going into CIS space, although their appearance is fairly rare outside the Southern Outer Rim. Normally, the ship is split into first and business classes, with the top deck being for first class passengers and the middle deck being for business class. The lower deck possesses cargo and machine spaces for life support and other systems.
- Intent: To create a large commercial passenger shuttle for use in transporting either civilian passengers or cargo, to be sold on the market by Starlight Shipyards. It is meant to fulfill the same basic niche mission types as the Star Commuter 2000 and Taylander Shuttle
