A stock Space Shuttle/Lifter called Buran-Energia. Built with 172 of the finest parts ever produced in mother Russia, its root part is mk3 cockpit

*Disclaimer: This is an idealized version of Buran. i.e. main engines are reusable and mounted on the orbiter
*Note: Shielded docking port is used as the nose cone solely due to its thermal capabilities during reentry. It is not meant to be used as an actual docking port (that would be weird!)
