The Zeta-class Long Range shuttle was created for the purpose of moving a small group of people over large distances for, generally, military purposes. The ship, though capable of carrying 26 people for intrasystem travelling, was originally made for a crew of 2 and 10 troops along with 4 months of provisions. These ships, due to their light armament, are often carried by larger vessels and are usually only used for various Intelligence gathering or insertion missions. Though these ships are often employed by the military, they can also make for good private vessels thanks to the large amounts of cargo spaces it has available to them as well as their adaptability and relatively low prices.
