Current Holder: destroyed — crashed and abandoned on Thides III (Session 3)

Origin: Station-assigned — MacMillian Station security detail

Overview

The Type II3-A “G-7721” is a heavily armored VTOL orbital transport vehicle designed for deployment and short-range insertion in austere, thin-atmosphere planetary environments. Its rugged, compact fuselage prioritizes durability and function over aesthetics, optimized for efficient takeoffs and landings rather than long-term deep-space travel. Powered by dual main thrust-vectoring rocket engines, the G-7721 relies on brute force for atmospheric flight and orbital climb. The crew cabin features a wide-visibility cockpit and a cramped passenger section with ten integrated crash-seats for immediate tactical transport of personnel. The undercarriage is robust, with hydraulic, ski-style landing gear and ventral-mounted anti-dust shrouds, specifically designed to stabilize the craft and deflect debris during high-energy touchdowns on unpaved surfaces. Its primary loadout consists of crew, personal gear, and minimal supplies, making it an ideal short-hop logistics vessel for surface-to-orbit operations or inter-site transport.

Known to the crew as a 113A-class craft, one such transport was assigned by station security to carry the crew on a security detail escorting a maintenance run to Thides III — an exclusion-zone planet with communication relay arrays and geosynchronous satellites. Following the Processing II incident and the crew’s confinement to quarters, Holger Graeme issued the new orders the next morning, with Ronin Sanchez designated as primary pilot for the run.

The timing raised eyebrows among the crew — Shackleton and Rock Lavey both clocked it as a likely political maneuver to get the team off the station while dignitary Peter Goodwin was still visiting.

Properties

• Class: 113A (mobRPG element name: Type II3-A).
• Capability: atmospheric and space flight; heavily armored VTOL orbital transport.
• Assignment: security detail for a maintenance run to Thides III.
• Designated pilot: Ronin Sanchez (Piloting, High-Performance Spacecraft-15 — best pilot on the team per side-notes ruling).

Appearances

• Session 2 (Session 02 - The MacMillian Anomaly) — Assigned to the crew at the close of the session for the Thides III security detail; Ronin Sanchez named as pilot.
• Session 3 (Session 03 - Buckle Up Motherfuckers) — Flew the crew and Jareth Brand to Thides III for the relay run. Stripped of its armor and weapons to carry maintenance cargo, it was struck mid-flight by a dissolving substance that sliced off one engine and ate into the other; Ronin Sanchez crash-landed it in the jungle. Destroyed and abandoned at the crash site — the crew continued on foot and left the world aboard a stolen vessel.
