XZ-300 Hyper Shuttle Deckplan (22x24)
Added 2023-01-26 12:12:49 +0000 UTC
Hi everyone!
The XZ-300 is a small hyper shuttle, often used as private transport or a scout vessel. However, in recent years, it has become increasingly popular as a data courier to bypass the unreliable interstellar communication network. These ships are often retrofitted with a powerful narrow-beam communication array for transmitting and receiving messages from a safe distance. This allows them to communicate with other ships and bases without being detected by hostile forces, making them valuable assets for any organization that needs to keep their communications secure.
The XZ-300 is a versatile and reliable vessel capable of handling the rigors of interstellar travel. Its sleek design makes it easy to maneuver in tight spaces, while its powerful engines allow it to reach high speeds, making it a perfect choice for a variety of missions. Its small size also makes it an ideal choice for reconnaissance and intelligence-gathering, as it can slip into areas undetected and gather valuable information.
Despite its small size, the XZ-300 is capable of defending itself against hostile forces. Its shield generator provides additional protection, while its laser cannons allow it to buy more time before jumping into hyperspace. Additionally, the ship's life support systems ensure that the crew can survive in the harsh conditions of space for extended periods of time.
Story hooks
Here are four short story hooks for using the XZ-300 in your campaign:
- The PCs are hired by a wealthy businessman to use the XZ-300 to transport valuable cargo across the galaxy. They soon discover that the cargo is actually stolen goods, and they must outsmart the pursuing criminal organization to deliver the goods and collect their pay.
- The PCs are hired by a rebel group to use the XZ-300 to infiltrate an Imperial system and intercept vital intelligence. They must navigate through the tightly patrolled system and avoid detection while gathering information.
- The PCs are hired by a rogue archaeologist to travel to a remote planet to uncover an ancient artifact. But they soon discover that they are not the only ones searching for the artifact and must compete against a rival team of xeno-treasure hunters.
- The PCs are hired by a wealthy patron to travel to a distant planet and search for a lost ship. Soon after arriving at their destination system, they discover that the ship is in distress and are forced to navigate through dangerous terrain and battle hostile space creatures to rescue them.

The XZ-300 is a small hyper shuttle, often used as private transport, a safari craft, or a scout vessel. It can accommodate a crew of 4 for two months, and it has a small medical bay for emergencies.
