T.N.F. Transport Shuttle 'Talaria' Mk.I

The Talaria is a lightly armored shuttle with seats for two passengers and a medium container for cargo transport. It meets the need to move personnel and cargo between stations, vessels and ground bases in situations that do not require the combat capabilities of Ghost dropships. One of its most important features is its relatively small size, and it fits inside most hangars.

Unlike the Adeona transport shuttle it has a hydrogen propulsion system, and has therefore enough thrust to fly in all environments, and launch from a planet’s surface to space. Flying on planets is fuel intensive however, and the Talaria has an on-board O2/H2 generator for refueling during missions. If a Talaria crew find themselves stranded, there are enough components on board to construct a rudimentary base for survival.

Atmospheric entry and launch:
● To conserve fuel, Talaria uses parachutes when landing on a planet (with atmosphere), and gradual thrust override when launching back into space.
● Read the datapad SOPs named «TALARIA SOP 2-01» and «TALARIA SOP 2-02» found in the shuttle cockpit for more detailed descriptions.

Fuel-efficient flying:
● Fly towards your destination until reaching desired speed.
● Turn off backwards thrust by pressing [1] on toolbar 2.
● Release throttle to conserve fuel. Increase and decrease forward thrust override as necessary.
