. If given the opportunity to live out his life doign as he wishes, Sixx will always choose to be flying. It doesn't matter where or what cargo he's carrying but there is one stipulation. Being behind the controls of Maebyl completes the fantasy. Unfortunately, Maebyl was destroyed in the rebel attack of 2299 while being repaired in the main hanger of Crossroads Station.
. Sixx has every intention of restoring the heap of rubbish back to her previous state as soon as possible as a spacecraft is an indisposable tool of his trade.
- + - Maebyl is a slightly antiquated, medium hull cargo craft. She was purchased new by Loch and left to Sixx upon Lochs death. Maebyl is a pretty typical, though outdated, inter planetary cargo delivery vehicle. Inside the cab is a small but not-unlivable space containing a pair of fold down cots, Sustenance Preservation Chamber (SPC), basic hygiene facilities, and a Sustenance Preparation Apparatus (SPA). The cockpit, called a flight chamber (FC), is the forward six feet of the craft and contains operational and safety/security controls for every aspect of the vessle as well as the cargo body when attached. The FC provides seatign for three occupants. One forward set and two side by side approximately two feet to the rear of it. The forward seat is the main control positiona nd all controls can be overriden from this location.
SPC . . . . . Combination refrigerator and cupboard.
SPA . . . . . Equivalent of a microwave.
- + - Both are powered by a backup generator which also powers basic lighting and other such necessities within the cab when the engines are not engaged. backup power can sustain minor operations for up to 3 hours.
