FACT FILE: T-6 Atlas
The Atlas is the largest cargo transport used by the SFMC. It
is a roll-on/roll-off cargo carrier, able to carry containerized cargo
or vehicles. The Atlas has two sets of doors, one at the nose (below the
cockpit) and one at the tail. Between the doors is a large cargo area,
with 16 rows of rollers mounted in the flooring (for cargo pallets, etc.)
and two tractor beam emitters mounted in the ceiling. The Atlas is normally
used for heavy resupply missions, carrying large quantities of material
wherever it is needed. In an emergency, the Atlas could carry as many as
120 wounded personnel.

The Equipment Rating System
The preceeding descriptions of aerospace craft use a rating
system, rather than precise numbers. This is to simplify the factsheets,
and to make it easier to understand how each specific aerospace craft compares
to others. A value of zero (0) means none, while a value of 1 means minimal
and 10 means maximum within a given statistic.
