The Star Goose is a small and fast military transport capable of operating in the air or in space. Though unarmed, the Star Goose is very maneuverable and its armored hull is quite robust. Many a time a SC-27 has come under heavy enemy fire and remained flight-worthy, doggedly carrying passengers wherever needed. In times of combat, the craft features interior saftey seats that enclose the passenger in a fully sealed unit to protect against hull breaches. When travelling from the surface to orbit, the Star Goose makes use of a booster rocket to escape the atmosphere.
NOTE: In episode 24, the same SC-27 Star Goose craft appears in two distinctly different hull colors all during a single flight: white with a mauve underside and then as a single-tone pale olive. The craft starts out white in about half a dozen shots, changes briefly to olive for the launch and battle sequences, then appears white again during atmospheric re-entry, landing and disembarking. Macross Chronicle #37-05 displays the olive hull color as official (with a screen capture showing the dark version launching). Color errors are not uncommon in animation but since episode 24 established the Star Goose as white in most early shots and then reverts back to white again later, both Star Goose hull colors are included here to accommodate different fan's color associations with the craft.
