Description and History

A common truck with cargo carrying capability. The truck is designed to operate for limited, short-range travel in space, typically around a City Class ship. The truck has several banks of thrusters built into the front, sides and underside to allow maneuvering in a vacuum. An enclosed life support system protects the occupants. These systems make the truck "Milky Road-worthy" (airtight) so it can leave City 7 and navigate the large web of guidance beams permitting safe space travel between the many vessels of the Macross 7 fleet. A truck was used to transport Basara and the Fire Bomber band (along with musical instruments/equipment) to their show at a retirement home for UN Forces veterans (Macross Chronicle 2E Macross 7 Mechanic Sheet Citizen 03A).
