Duke 690B
Originally used in the Terran wars by the Phacodi military.
During the war, Dukes had the reputation as the workhorse of the fleet.
And also well known for the seemingly random nature of the primary life support
systems located behind the seats which would occasionally decide to catch on
fire and engulf the cockpit in smoke. After the war the Phacodi military went
bankrupt and the Terax shipping corp purchased 700 of the ex-military Duke class
shuttles to serve as cargo shuttles.
Slightly more info in the Mocpages gallery.

| I like it a lot. I think it really captures the feel of what would be considered a workhorse type vessel - I could just picture dozens of these things in both flashy and non-descript liverys darting in and out of population centers delivering their (...)

| (...) I did enjoy, Mr. Buckland, and as usual I disagree with my esteemed colleauges. I like the orange window and the black section of the wings...in fact I like the whole thing despite its boxy shape. The nose is one of the best I've seen in a (...)
