A transport shuttle that utilizes four special-purpose boosters to launch it into outer space. Following its breakaway from the atmosphere, the boosters fall away revealing its tube-like body and allow for cruising through space. The shuttle is equipped with two main nozzles for propulsion at the rear and several verniers on its body for minor attitude control. Mobile suits are launched from the from the rear-side hatch in the same manner as OZ’s super sonic transport. For reentry purposes, the shuttle is equipped with dive breaks around the center as well as a drag chute at the front. The Wing Gundam Zero and Gundam Heavyarms are loaded into this when Sally Po and Heero Yuy head into space. In the Glory of Losers manga, Professor G and Duo Maxwell utilize this craft to escape after attacking the Alliance’s 304th Leo Team. | |||
