====== Alpha Shuttle craft ======

This small shuttle is basically the civilian version of the [[Grissom-class]] military shuttle.

This small but versatile reactionless-drive craft is designed
as both a ship’s boat and a shuttle. Its range is limited by its life
support.

Its 30-ton (SM +5) streamlined hull is 15 meters long.

The basic crew is one: pilot. The crew chief also often rides along in the passenger seating and manages the loading/unloading.
