The workhorse of the Abwehran Armed Forces (AAF) and Civilian Space Administration Agency.

Though not really famous for daring rescues or great anti-piracy activity, the Schiffchen is the work horse of the entire Abwehran Space Program and will further be a great asset in the future as well as the present.

The 1b model is the civilian model and lacks the two Gatling Laser Cannons its predecessor has installed.

The Schiffchen is the transporting workhorse of all three branches that use it. With two models, the Schiffchen is a very versatile craft.

The first space craft smaller than the Korvetten designed by Kaiserlich F+E, the Schiffchen is the most practical design yet. with its angular and sleek design, it has enough room to carry 12 Marines with combat gear. It is also the primary transportation of personnel and cargo between both civilian and military ships

Narrow for only one person to reside in it, the Cockpit is fairly similar to the Raubvogel's cockpit in the fact of console configuration, but the pilot seat isn't as reclined as its cousin's.

A large space behind the Cockpit large enough to hold twelve Power Armored individuals or a few power armor and a couple of squads of Marines.

The Schiffchen is built using the Tri-Layer Armor in combination with standard military hull and framework. The Schiffchen is the only civilian ship with this type of armor.

A powerful and robust computer system using the standard military processors connected via molecular circuits to connect to the various Data Storage and Displays on board.

• Starship Gravatronic Radar
• Infrared Spectrometer
• Various Imaging Scanner Package

• Radio
• Starship Laser Communication

The Schiffchen utilizes Unidirectional Gravity Plating to create an inertial dampening effect on board and a standard recycling and filtration system for matters involving air purification.

The Schiffchen is equipped with two fusion engines an attachment on the central-rear protrusion for a ramjet engine (allowing it atmospheric capability).

The only shield available on the Schiffchen is the Hazard Shield System.

Two units in turret form on the dorsal side in the center and another directly underneath the cockpit. The 1b model lacks these weapons.
