Bay Pod Inc
Bay Pod Inc is a small company based on Boros that manufactures drop in utility pods for shuttle bays. Built on the same framework as a LR shuttle, these pods will securely dock in any standard shuttle bay and provide ship owners with a wide variety of flexible options.

Construction
All Bay Pod Inc pods are manufactured with the same titanium alloys used in shuttle construction. Furthermore they also include the proper insulation and atmospheric hatches to ensure the purchasers safety in the event the shuttle bay is opened or otherwise exposed to the Black.
All Pods have service ports for electricity, water, atmosphere, and waste water which have been placed to allow a single pod to be used in either starboard or port shuttle bays. This design simplifies both BPI's inventory and the customer's selection process.
Inventory
Bay Pod Inc offers several basic models to satisfy most customer's needs. However, they have custom manufactured several high end or special purpose modules.
