Arvus Lighters

The Arvus Lighter is a small, general purpose, surface-to-orbit cargo shuttle that is widely used by the Imperium of Man for many tasks, both in space and on the surface of planets. The Arvus is commonly used by both the Aeronautica Imperialis of the Navis Imperialis and Imperial merchant vessels, including Rogue Traders. The Arvus Lighter is just one of many types of small, void-capable shuttles used by the various organisations of the Imperium. The Arvus is piloted by a single pilot, and is not equipped with any weapon systems; in fact, the Arvus possesses only the most basic navigation equipment, external augur sensors, and proximity alarms. The Arvus has a powerful plasma engine that allows it to carry heavy cargo to and from a planet’s surface.
