The Stag Beetle MkXIII (<--link, please read first) is a reeingineered version of a patrol shuttle that had been in service a few decades ago. The Terran Federal Council arranged a competition to find the best design for a new line of VIP-transport-ships.
A subsidary of Eisenstar Fleetsystems could get their's accepted, outperformed all other aspirants and eventually won a head-to-head race against their final competitors who lined up with an overhauled civilian shuttle. The ship was decided to be produced in a small capacity of 1003 units.

The last 3 ships were equipped with a number of upgrades. They were named Khepri, after an eqyptian god with the head of a scarab, as a reference to the original Stag Beetle.

Notable things on the Khepri version:

1. additional shield capacity added.
   
2. built in "DSD-MUT"(defensive-shield-discharge-of multiple targets)-System accessible in weapon slot 2.

• conference room is now lined with exclusive fluffy Hyytian sandworm-leather.

• much groovier hull color scheme. ( totally swell! )
