Description
Although seemingly simple-looking, the MCD KE-600 Module is a multirole craft designed and marketed by Lahlahdeka Industrial Products out of the Vasiaka System. Its original purpose was to act as a transfer vehicle between stations and vessels in high orbit, and it was capable of hold six persons for what were then relatively short rides. A number of these craft were subsequently upgraded to act as the makeshift command module for orbital cargo transfer trains and for V.I.P. shuttlecraft.

The craft is spherical and has a large hatch on the back of the module. The pilot or pilots side on the port and starboard sides of the craft and navigate using instruments and visual clues as seen through two long viewing ports side either side of the nose. It has two sensor strips mounted on the nose, which in its original configuration were simply for in-orbit flight purposes and included anti-collision sensor arrays.

In this image we see the MCD KE-600 with a passenger module attachment. The craft could 'pull' as many as nine of these interlinked with each other and in this configuration was the way that civilian or military personnel transferred between vessels. The modules each their own thruster array so could be detached and reroute themselves to their destination, and if this module separated from the train mid-body, the remaining modules would automatically reorganize themselves and re-dock.

Two variants are shown here. On the left the landing bay model which featured landing legs, while the one on the right is the 'vacuum' standard variety.
