Description (Specifications)
The Heavy Transport is a historical design produced in the Terran Confederation during the early 22nd century. These ships fled the Destruction of Terra at the hands of the Vilani Imperium in 2147AD, forming a part of the Last Armada and carrying with them the last remnants of Terran culture and independence. The class were extremely sturdy and reliable and endured more than a century of spaceflight. They ultimately found and settled the Demon Cluster, the Distant Fringe.
- The vessel is a TL-11 design.

History & Background (Dossier)
Heavy Transports were constructed in large numbers at Terran-controlled shipyards throughout the Interstellar Wars period. It was an Auxiliary vessel and was the most common example of large ship acquired by the Expedition. This class of ship is historical – no extant examples are known to exist. They were used to carry the vast amounts of supplies needed by the Last Armada on their perilous voyage into the unknown. A number of examples served as "treasure ships", carrying items and artifacts of Terran cultural or historical significance.
