SHIP SPECIFICATIONS

The Heron is typical of the type of shuttle built around the FV. Originally designed as a military assault lander for export, the Heron has heavy armour and space for some equipment. There are 18 passenger seats and a crew of 2, usually a pilot and a crew chief who supervises loading and unloading. The Heron can acellerate at 2.58 gs, with fuel for 5 days. Heron production exceeded demand during the first 10 years for the war and Phantoms were built in their place
