		+	Entering into service with the AASC in late 2197, the MV-T-63 was very well received initially. Beloved by her crews for her maneuverability and surprising ease of use, the Chariot was quickly assigned to supporting Atreus' Royal Hussars and Expeditionary groups, lifting all the heavy cargo they require.

Facing very little competition, the contract went to the Odyssey Aerospace Astronautical Design Office. With the contract handily secured, Odyssey was able to submit multiple proposals to the AASC, mainly focusing on different engine configurations and minor systems changes.

	Designed to fill the lack of a heavy-lift, carrier based transports for the Atreus Aerospace Command (AASC). The '''MV-T-63 Chariot''' features a variety of both air-breathing, and liquid fuel rockets to achieve a large payload capacity, albeit a very limited range outside of atmosphere. The air-breathing engines are mounted on nacelles mounted in a "high-wing" configuration giving clearance for drop tanks and ordinance under the wings and engines without increasing the dimensions of the '''Chariot'''. With a mix of air-breathing engines, the J-X4 "Whiplash" engines are mounted on the front two nacelles and the J-606 Jaguar engines mounted slightly higher, and on the rear two nacelles, giving the '''Chariot''' it's iconic appearance and bulky style.

Furthermore, the Chariot's cockpit is covered in 15mm of Bulletproof and tinted glass with additional 25mm of bulletproof glass in front of each of the crew-member's positions, with more armor surrounding the positions.
