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== 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== Directly behind the ST-46's cockpit is the 8 person capacity passenger section which leads to the craft's single airlock.
