J-11 Proxima

MIH-L1 Morning Star

A lander meant for atmospheric flight, or landing on airless moons. In Atmosphere, it uses air breathing hypersonic engines to achieve orbital velocity, in some cases with no internal fuel usage. In atmospheres with no high atmosphere hydrogen layer, some of the internal propellant is necessary to achieve orbit. This craft is capable of such a multitude of roles, that some people opt to use this craft in favor of more specialized craft that are better in one specific thing. This craft is incredibly easy to modify, as the design is hundreds of years old and parts for the craft are incredibly numerous. It is joked that one can go to a scrap yard and build themselves one of these with any of the parts lying around, but this is more than a joke. This is often the way teenagers and such get their first taste of outer space. The ship is a flat, lifting body design, with a large transparent metal canopy and windows on the bottom for landing visibility.

Armament: Anything you can strap on, but typically it comes fitted with 2x 30mm cannons. Some armaments usually seen on it are any number of dumb-fire or aspect seeking missiles, with either chemical or miniaturized nuclear warheads.

Ship Compliment: Anything that can be fitted inside the cargo bay. The cargo bay has the exact dimensions of the NASA Space Shuttle, by sheer coincidence and definitely not the designers liking the Space Shuttle.

Power Core: Anything can be used, such as Fusion or Antimatter reactors, but Fusion is the safest.

Slipspace Capable: No
