RT01
GROUP TRANSPORT VEHICLE -- SURFACE-TO-ORBIT
THE BACKBONE OF COLONY LOGISTICS
> THE RT01 GROUP TRANSPORT VEHICLE IS THE STANDARD HEAVY-LIFT SURFACE-TO-ORBIT TRANSPORT IN THE WEYLAND-YUTANI FLEET. INTRODUCED IN 2051 AND CONTINUOUSLY REFINED OVER DECADES OF SERVICE, THE RT01 IS THE WORKHORSE THAT KEEPS COLONY SUPPLY CHAINS MOVING. FROM PERSONNEL TRANSFERS TO HEAVY CARGO, THE RT01 HANDLES IT.
> DESIGNED FOR RELIABILITY AND OPERATIONAL SIMPLICITY, THE RT01 IS RATED FOR OPERATIONS ON ANY WORLD WITH AN ATMOSPHERE BETWEEN 0.3 AND 3.0 ATM AND A GRAVITY WELL UP TO 1.5 G. THE VEHICLE'S MODULAR CARGO CONFIGURATION ACCEPTS STANDARD ICC SHIPPING CONTAINERS, BULK MATERIALS, AND OVERSIZED EQUIPMENT.
> OVER 4,000 RT01 UNITS ARE IN ACTIVE SERVICE ACROSS THE COLONIAL NETWORK, OPERATED BY WEYLAND-YUTANI, INDEPENDENT FREIGHT CARRIERS, AND COLONIAL ADMINISTRATIONS. THE PLATFORM'S PROVEN RELIABILITY AND LOW MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS HAVE MADE IT THE DEFAULT CHOICE FOR COLONY SURFACE-TO-ORBIT LOGISTICS.

> THE RT01 IS NOT THE FASTEST TRANSPORT IN THE FLEET. IT IS NOT THE MOST ADVANCED. BUT IT IS THE MOST RELIABLE AND THE MOST NUMEROUS. EVERY COLONY IN THE NETWORK DEPENDS ON THE RT01 TO MOVE THE CARGO, PERSONNEL, AND MATERIALS THAT SUSTAIN DAILY OPERATIONS. WHEN THE SUPPLY CHAIN WORKS, THE RT01 IS THE REASON. IT IS THE VEHICLE THAT BUILT THE FRONTIER.
