                    '''History & Data '''

The PS-215 Goshawk and EWS-216 Etienne are the main shuttles used by the Claremont Confederacy and are based off of the same hull configuration with just the rear area being switched out in the Goshawk for a full EW/ECM/ECCM/EWACS package in the area cargo area.

Both shuttles are boxy with a pair of large delta wings trailing out from the hull and just short of the aft reaction thrusters [only used to take the shuttle out of orbit] another set of stubbier delta wings sticks out a at 25 degree angle from the upper top side of the shuttle.

The forward part of the shuttle contains the cockpit for a crew of 3 [pilot, co-pilot, Comm/Engineer] and is rather on the large side for that small of a crew and then just aft of this is the crew quarters and a cargo area followed by the main body of the shuttle which can be used to carry half a company [125] of hard suited soldiers in jump seats, half a squad of medium mecha [5] or various cargo loads.

In the Etienne the cargo area has been ripped out and replaced with a two deck EW center that can be configured for any number of purposes from ELINT to EWACS to just basic communications linkage to even orbital bomardment targeting vessel, the two decks hold a total of fifty specialists and the cargo area behind the cockpit had been replaced with a head and a cramped area for about fifteen bunks.
