The Atlas shuttle is a medium range cargo shuttle, designed for supplying stations, surface outposts,and starships.
The cargo space is locatet between the pylons leading to the warpnacelles. The cargo is held on a standard frame which itself is fixed in place by four magnetic locks.
Despite its broad spectrum of use, it lacks the ability to land properly. This is the reason why the shuttle has to hover above the ground to deliver the cargo, when there is no docking rack on site.
