The Sparrows you've already seen. Here is the Hammad Shuttle and the GES-50
Escape Pod.



Baril Aerospace CLF-500 Hammad-class Cruiser Liner Passenger Shuttle

Craft: Baril Aerospace CLF-500 Hammad-class Cruiser Liner Passenger Shuttle
Type: Passenger Shuttle
Scale: Starfighter
Length: 72.4 meters
Skill: Space Transports: CLF-500
Crew: 2
Crew Skill: Varies
Passengers: 500
Cargo Capacity: 50 MT (480 cubic meters)
Consumables: 1 week
Cost: 150,000 (new), 75,000 (used)
Hyperdrive Multiplier: None
Maneuverability: 0D+2
Space: 3
Atmosphere: 295; 850 Kmh
Hull: 3D
Sensors: 
    Passive: 20/0D
    Scan: 40/1D
    Search: 80/2D
    Focus: 4/2D+2

Weapons: None

Game Notes: Emergency Beacon: Broadcasts distress call on local emergency 
	    frequencies for up to 500SU in any direction when activated.

Capsule:
Designed specifically for the Luxury Liner business, the Hammad class shuttle
carries passengers from cruise ships to the surface of planets. Designed to be
a minimal ship, the CLF-500 requires only two people to fly, a trait
attributable
more to a lack of bells and whistles more than a feat of engineering.

The CLF-500 consists of two decks. The upper deck houses the cockpit and half 
of the passenger capacity. Seats are arranged in thirty five rows of seven
seats 
and one row in the back of five seats. Rows are arranged with two seats, then
an aisle, then three seats, then another aisle, and then two more seats.
This way
passengers have a means to move around. Passenger comfort has been
maximized, with
vast amounts of leg and shoulder room. Aisles are 110cm wide, providing ample
room to move. At the far back of the deck is a 10x8x3 (l,w,h) meter cargo area.
The lower deck is identical to the upper deck, save for the cockpit. Four
circular
stairwells connect the upper and lower decks. Loading and disembarking is
achieved
by eight stairwells leading from the lower deck to the ground. Cargo is
loaded by
a cargo elevator in the rear of the ship.

Four Baril FB-D-150 ion engines propel the CLF-500 in space, while eight
powerful
repulsorlift generators housed below the lower deck allow the ship to fly in
atmosphere. A hyperdrive and nav computer have not been installed because the
ship will never be travelling anywhere except from the surface to orbit or vice
versa. Engineers left shields out, citing a lack of usage, and instead replaced
them with a special hull coating capable of withstanding the tremendous
heat during
atmospheric reentry and spaceflight.






Baril Aerospace GES-50 "Last Chance" Escape Pod

Craft: Baril Aerospace GES-50 "Last Chance" Escape Pod
Type: 50-Man Escape Pod
Scale: Speeder
Length: 13.1 meters
Skill: Space Transports: GES-50
Crew: 1
Crew Skill: Varies
Passengers: 50
Cargo Capacity: 1 MT (5 cubic meters)
Consumables: 1 week
Cost: 10,000 (new), 5,000 (used)
Space: 1
Atmosphere: 210; 600 kmh
Hull: 3D
Sensors: 
    Passive: 15/0D
    Search: 40/2D

Weapons: None

Game Notes: Emergency Beacon: Broadcasts distress call on local emergency 
	    frequencies for up to 500SU in any direction when activated.

Capsule:
The GES-50 was designed specifically for the Royal-class cruise ships produced
by Baril Aerospace for Tabbir Cruise Lines. TCL needed escape pods with
sufficient
capacity that the entire ship could be evacuated, but if a few of the pods 
malfunctioned the evacuation could still take place. Single-person escape pods 
were ruled out, as were pods with extremely large capacities. If one of the
large
pods failed, there would be hundreds of people left on board a doomed vessel.

Once the fifty-capacity size was decided on, engineers set to work
designing it.
The GES-50 was a no frills design. The ship needed simply to safely get
passengers
from one place to another. As such, luxuries were thrown out and
inexpensive parts 
were used to keep the final cost down.

The passenger area consists of ten rows of five people. At the front of the
craft
is the cockpit, though not really a cockpit in terms, it has minimal
controls, and
the pilot stands while flying. If a pilot is missing, the GES-50 is capable of
automatic control which activates the emergency beacon and navigates the pod 
towards the nearest habitable planet. It then enters orbit or lands
depending on 
passenger selection. If no planets are available, the GES-50 moves to a preset 
minimum safe distance from its host ship.
