The Zeta-class Cargo shuttle is a 36-meter long Shuttle designed to pick up and drop off variable loads of cargo. It features an upper deck that houses the ship's controls and a cargo deck that can be detached and dropped off at a location. It also has four wings that retract inwards when landing and outwards when in flight. Hyperdrive capable, this vessel has poor maneuverability and speed, with heavy armor and shields. It saw widespread use by the Galactic Empire in a range of configurations to carry out cargo transport roles in a wide number of projects at countless locations including the Imperial occupation of Jedha.
Armament
2 heavy dual laser cannons (wings)
3 dual laser cannons (2 forward, 1 aft)
Complement
1 pilot, 1 co-pilot or gunner, and 1 gunner for full effectiveness
100 metric tons of cargo
The Nightfall Prism II has had every external component painted black as night, with attempts to minimize the brightness of external lights and features. This allows this Zeta-class Cargo Shuttle to more easily blend into the darkness of space
The Nightfall Prism II has a fixed cargo compartment rather than the standard detachable one, this has been built into the ship as a custom modification from the shipyard. The Combat Compartment features basic crew quarters with refresher, a workshop and armoury area and a small training area. What little space remains is given over to storage for ground vehicles and supplies. This modification removes the ability to have a modular cargo pod on the Zeta-Class.
