Egusa-class shuttle

The Mitsushishi Egusa-class is a multi-purpose transport shuttle with a trihedral foil design. Respectably armoured and reliable, the Egusa is often used to transport VIPs, passengers and cargo. The near-ubiquity and distinctiveness of the design has made it out to be one of the enduring symbols of the Imperial Navy, of shuttles in general and the Yamataian government, and the Egusa is also often referred to as the "Imperial Shuttle".

Most Imperial Navy spaceships carry multiple such shuttles for liaison and transport purposes. These military shuttles are often armed to a deceptively heavy degree. Some Egusa shuttles are also FTL capable.
