The Caballero is a multi-purpose utility craft that was originally designed for Civilian use, but refitted for non-combat military roles. It can be used to ferry cargo and passengers short distances between starships, starbases, and even between a ship and a planet.

The Caballero builds on an ancient idea of a small craft capable of shuttling small volumes of cargo short distances in air and space. The Caballero is the culmination of such theory, allowing for practical use in both space and atmosphere.

The body paneling is made out of Titanium coated with a thin plating of Duratanium. The cockpit canopy is made of solid, 3 inch thick transparent Duratanium.

The Caballero uses basic navigational computers to calculate flight paths into and out of the atmosphere, as well as to aid in landing inside a cramped area.

The Cabalerro uses a compressed inert gas system which snuffs out fires on board. it also has an emergency locator beacon.

Good Old Air scrubbers, these need to be changed every 6 months.

The Caballero has Ion thrusters for propulsion, giving it a high rate of acceleration and a decent top speed.

The Caballero uses a Micro-plutanovics projector for protection against many kinds of weapons, as well as the natural hazards of space.

The Caballero has navigational and utility lighting in the form of two spotlights, one to either side of the cockpit. each light can swivel 45 degrees to increase range of illumination.

The Caballero shuttle has a rather large internal capacity, and its cargo area contains folding seats, which fold into the walls and floors, allowing the shuttle to either have a completely open cargo area, or seating for up to 60 fully equipped soldiers, complete with restraints for rough rides.
