Blue Midget

Description
Blue Midget is a type of small ship-to-surface transport shuttle. There are two models that exist, both for different functions, but they share similar designs. Both are a lot more compact than a Starbug, and can only fi t four people comfortably, or possibly six if people don’t mind sitting on other people’s laps. Blue Midgets are people transports, so only have limited room in the cargo hold for equipment,

The Mark I Blue Midget is small and van like, useful for transporting small numbers of personnel short distances beyond Blue Dwarf. It is commonly used for scouting potential mining sites and is equipped with caterpillar tracks to traverse rough terrain.

The Mark II, also called Hoppers, walks on two legs, allowing it to step its way over extremely rough terrain with much more ease than most vehicles with wheels. The small ship can’t take too much punishment from enemy assaults, and the walking mechanism can get easily broken. Most of the Blue Midgets assigned to the Blue Dwarf walk with some kind of a limp.
