The Atlas Troop Transport Shuttle is one of the newer ship designs to come out of Olanji/Charubah's factories. With a rapidly growing Royal Hapan Armed Forces, the need to quickly and efficiently transport personnel from one place to another prompted the Royal Council to request its design and commission in early 4031. The shuttle was designed in a joint effort by the Royal Engineering Corps and Olanji/Charubah, and put into production later that same year.
Far more efficient than using capital ships, freighters, or fighters to transport personnel, the result was a stylish and fast transport that has quickly earned a place in the military, government and civilian sectors. The Atlas shuttle rolled off the assembly lines at an astonishing rate, due to its lightweight construction that helped keep material cost down. With strong engines and a roomy interior, the shuttle quickly proved itself capable of delivering entire squads or personnel in a single trip. While normally not armed, the shuttle can be modified fairly easily to have a minimal weapons package installed, giving it some small ability to defend itself.
