- First-Class Transit: Everything about the Vezioti from its speed to its arsenal is designed to ensure that the shuttle makes it to its landing zone as unharmed as possible. It's actually fairly decent at dogfighting due to its varied arsenal and speed, but ultimately it is meant to hit the ground and get back to its escort vessel as safely and as quickly as it can rather than engage in proper combat.
- In-and-Out: Despite boasting a relatively impressive assortment of weaponry, the Vezioti is hardly designed for extended combat and has very limited defensive capabilities against attacks from the ground. While many other transports blend the role of gunship and dropship this shuttle does not, limiting it to fairly open and relatively undefended landing zones instead of more active areas.
From the very beginning of the Order of Wonosa's military efforts and organization it became abundantly clear that, with a heavy focus on infantry, good transportation was a necessity. Transportation on the ground was easy enough to cobble together using speeders but when it came to the realms of the sky and space there was little in the way of standardization. Given limited production capabilities a variety of models and types of shuttles were put to use but it was obvious that this vital area of transport could not be overlooked for long.
Common features between the most effective models were noted and designs were drawn up for when the cultists would one day possess the facilities and material with which they could craft their own shuttles. After many years the Inquisitorial Armory of Faldos would be born under the guiding hand of the cult's leader Darth Strosius and with it came the extra components and materials needed for both factories and their products to be erected by the cultists as well as their Inquisitorial comrades. Soon enough, and after much trial and error from both the cult's engineers and the armory's workers, the Vezioti was born.
The Vezioti is designed with transportation as its main focus, with even its armaments dedicated mainly to fending off enemy starfighters that would seek to destroy it before it can offload its cargo. Said cargo comes in many forms due to the internal design of the shuttle allowing for everything from troops, supply crates, and even smaller vehicles to be transported. It can also operate perfectly fine in most environments and has no issues making multiple trips from orbit to surface in rather quick succession, making it usable for almost any mission that requires some sort of aerial transportation.
