The ST-46 has been one of the most common shuttlecraft in the Inner Sphere, and it should be no surprise that this also makes it one of the most common shuttlecraft to be repurposed for criminal activity. Pirate forces, generally lacking proper military equipment, have often modified the humbe ST-46 as a makeshift boarding craft. The following is fairly typical, and installs a battery of lasers, less for defense and more to intimidate lightly armed or unarmed targets. The original spacious passenger bay has been exchanged for much more spartan accomodations for up to fifty heavily armed marines (or more, if the remaining cargo storage is repurposed). Other configurations use missiles or ballistic weapons rather than the laser array, while some craft, geared more to long duration operations, feature more amenities and a more robust life support system for their onboard marines, cutting craft's capacity roughly in half as a result.
Though normally associated with pirates and other renegade elements, the "Bandit" configuration has proven sufficiently robust to see service with house forces as well, though it has largely slipped out of use following the introduction of purpose built "Battle Taxis" during the Clan Invasion era.
