History & Data
The Mastodon should really be classified as a shuttle but since it is a multi-purpose craft and the first module that was designed for it was the bomb unit it was classified as such.
The design of the Mastodon is very reminiscent of a shuttle with a blunt rounded nose containing a 35mm gatling and its ammunition, just aft of this is a large blister like cockpit holding a four man crew and then below and aft of that is a passenger cabin large enough for the two load masters and a full squad of hard-suited personnel to act as guards while the shuttle was grounded.
In the aft section is the modular system that can hold numerous modules, the main reaction engines are just aft of these in the tail with two in the upper corners and two in the lower corners, there is also a hatch and ramp that can connect with whatever module is being used.
The craft has large almost delta like swept back wings with the four secondary engines mounted to them.
There are currently ten different modules available for the Mastodon – 
· Naval Gun Module – This module carries four 50cm naval guns capable of firing out to a twenty-five kilometer range, the module sets down landing jacks with spikes to hold the shuttle in place while firing, the module also carries 100 shells of various types.
