Relying on a large number of fixed-wing support craft to maintain the massive logistical supply train of the Lyran military, the LAAF/LCAF Quartermaster Corps utilized a considerable volume of Lockheed/CBM's [[King Karnov]] in a seemingly endless array of variants to meet numerous roles. Attempting to simplify and streamline its manufacturing lines in the manner of the ''[[Morgenstern]]'' [[OmniFighter]]'s replacement of three [[aerospace fighter]]s, Lockheed/CBM again turned to modular omni construction to develop a single design capable of meeting as many roles as possible.<ref name="TRO:3085p56+"/>

Built using an Edasich commercial-grade [[Fusion Engine]], making it twenty-five percent faster than the King Karnov, the ''Zugvogel'' mounts eleven and half tons of military grade armor, and carries advanced fire control and [[CASE]] as standard. Featuring a whopping seventy-one and half tons of pod space, the ''Zugvogel'' can be modified for nearly any mission an army could come up with.<ref name="TRO:3085p56+"/>

The ''Zugvogel''s primary configuration is that of a heavily armed combat transport, carrying a forward facing pair of [[LRM-15]]s, two [[Light AC/2]]s and a [[Medium Pulse Laser]], supported by a [[Light Gauss Rifle]] mounted aft. Reserving twenty-two and half tons for cargo space, five tons of LRM missiles, two tons of Light AC ammo and one of Light Gauss reloads compliment four heat sinks.<ref name="TRO:3085p56+"/>
