R214 Hopper-Class Ship’s Boat
The standard ship’s boat for merchant ships, including the Antelope-class, is the Hopper-class. The boat is sealed for
operation in space or any atmosphere, but requires life support units if the crew or passengers are without their own. The
boat consumes fuel units at a relatively high rate, and this is mainly used for short excursions. It has folding wings, and may
be glide-landed without power (and thus without fuel use) on a planet with atmosphere.
The Hopper-class requires one person to operate, who must be a qualified pilot (including starship pilots).
