Has a crew of two : Pilot, co-pilot, sensors/radio operator and cargo handler (in remote areas).

Has an inbuilt computer (as VTOL jet computer but Dex 11, Spd 3 with no WF or weapon skill levels).

An old but hardy design still found in many places. A late 1940's design, roughly equivalent to the real world C-131 Hercules. A very hardy, reliable design with VTOL and amphibious capability so it can land on any appropriately sized space on land or water. It has lots of low ground pressure retractable wheels in wing-tip floats and sides of fuselage. Doors at front, rear and sides.
