The Shuttle Craft Hawking was a vehicle used by the REF. during the REF-Invid Peace Meeting. As Emil Lang had grown suspect of Thomas Riley Edwards growing influence and various blockages of any attempt to find the missing Rick Hunter and the Sentinels, he arranged a meeting with Breetai on the Robotech Refinery Satellite with John Carpenter and Scott Bernard at his side. Lang used the Shuttle to travel from the SDF-3 to the satellite and made arrangement with Breetai to acquire Mecha under the guise of Mining Equipment.
