Shuttle A-II

Shuttle A-II was a Comet-class landing shuttle that served as part of the HRSS Calypso's shuttle complement. The shuttle served as the landing craft during Thalia Mazin and Zar Vox's mission to Dereth in CY 1913. The shuttle sustained damage while on Dereth, though it was able to return to the Calypso without incident. During the Battle of Hisperia, the shuttle sustained heavy damage as the Calypso was repaired.

Shuttle A-II consisted of a flight deck, main cabin, and a depressurization chamber that doubled as a cargo hold. A weapons rack was mounted to the right side of the wall in the main cabin. The cabin consisted of several work stations for longer missions. Two of these stations were the secondary command console and the long range communications station. A third station was able to access the Kiros Alliance database via a computer console. Databoxes and other devices could be attached to this console and their information viewed on a screen at the console.

The shuttle did not have any armament and required a fighter escort if it entered a hostile or potentially hostile situation. The shuttle was equipped with Twin B-100 Ion Jet Engines that were mounted onto the shuttle's sides at the rear of the ship.
