| + | :It is able to carry up to 11 passengers or any type of payload within lifting capacity limits. | ||
| − | + | :In the front part of the ship, there is a cockpit and large payload door. If the door has to be opened, the entire ship raises on it's gears and creates space for loading of the payload.

| − | + | :In early 2140's a new type of transport ship was needed. The previous type appeared to hide very significant technical mistakes, so their use was banned immediately. So the fleet suddenly needed a new multiporpose transportation vehicle. A competition was announced, but no shipyard had such a project at the moment. Only a small civil manufacturer ''Sylfaen Space Industry'' presented it's concept of light multiporpose vehicle equipped with a simple FTL drive. Although the construction was not ideal, there was no other option. A minor changes were made and in 2143 the production started. Soon this unknown spaceship became the most numerous member of Earth's part of fleet. | |

| − | + | :After resolving some childhood ilnesses, the most variable version - the ''UST-12VrPd "Locust"'' became a legend. It's robust hull saved many crews from enemy fire during evacuation operations or many other encounters with enemy. The ship has no shields, but is strong enough to sustain quite a lot of damage. Soon this characteristic led into development of even more armored version ''UST-12CoTr "Beetle"'' - a combat transport vehicle. | |
