The '''ST-46''' is a typical example of the atmospheric capable [[Small Craft|shuttlecraft]] in use within both the [[Inner Sphere]] and [[Clan]] territories. Many stations and larger transports, such as [[JumpShip]]s and [[WarShip]]s, carry at least one of these craft to allow planetary transport of crew and cargo without having to rely upon docked [[DropShip]]s for the task.

Because the ST-46 features an aerodyne shape, the design is able to conserve fuel during trips from space to a planetary surface, though the craft requires a prepared ferrocrete runway to land on as the landing gear is susceptible to damage and collapse on unpaved terrain.<ref name=DSJSp68>''DropShips and JumpShips: ComStar Intelligence Summary'', p. 68</ref><ref name=TRO3057p170>''Technical Readout: 3057'', p. 170</ref><ref name=TRO3057Rp168>''Technical Readout: 3057 Revised'', p. 168</ref>

==Armament==
 
==Armament==
Primarily intended for civilian use, the ST-46 is totally unarmed. The small amount of armor the craft carries intended more to offer some protection, however minor, against landing or docking mishaps rather than overt offensive assault.<ref name=DSJSp68/><ref name=TRO3057p170/><ref name=TRO3057Rp168/>

==Cargo==
 
==Cargo==
Directly behind the ST-46's cockpit is the 8 person capacity passenger section which leads to the craft's single airlock. The vessel's 12-ton cargo hold is directly behind the passenger section but there is no internal access to the cargo bay and engineering section behind it from inside the craft, only via the single large cargo hatch on the ST-46's starboard side.<ref name=DSJSp68/><ref name=TRO3057Rp168/> The cargo section can, however, be accessed from the engineering section through ducting.<ref name=TRO3057p170/>

*;ST-46C : Introduced in [[2897]], due to their higher level of technology the Clan version of the ST-46C boasts minor improvements in both armor and cargo capacity, though like the Inner Sphere version is also unarmed.
