Shanda Personal Transport/Freighter

The Shanda Personal Transport was designed by Verdant Motors to be a
craft for a spacer on the go. It's a sort of combination of a low class
yacht and a light freighter. It has a long missile like form with a X
shaped group of tail-fins and a group of 6 powerful sublight engines.
The craft has a dull yellow color to it from the alloy used in making
it's hull. It's main defensive capabilities come not from the civilian
level weapons it carries but from the Defensor Shield Globes. They are
fit into snug depressions in the hull. These launch and spiral around
the ship forming powerful reflective energy shields all about the ship,
sometimes forming them to block shots rather than actualy jsut cover the
whole ship. The Defensors can also be drawn close togetehr to relase an
energy blast all around the ship of signifagant magnitude. There is also
an option to buy a droid rbain for the ship that can handle piloting,
astrogation and other shipboard tasks for them.
