From the original wolf dragoons book Hephaestus station combined elments of the Olympus and Alliance class stations.  Interstellar Operations apparently suggested it was a modified Hughes class yard station.

I don't think we have stats for the Hughes, either, do we?

There are no stats for the Hughes class that I am aware of.

From BattleCorps, two Age of War tank designs are named in “Goliath Out of the Box” - the tracked ICE Capellan-made Suvorov, and the FWL-made Tigershrike hover tank.  Both are contemporaries of the prototype Mackie, and would be in the Primitive category.

Likewise, “Break Away” mentions a Terran Hegemony VTOL of the Redhawk class.


"We have made of New Avalon a towering funeral pyre and wiped the Davion scourge from the universe.  Tikonov, Chesterton and Andurien are ours once more, and the cheers of the Capellan people nearly drown out the gnashing of our foes' teeth as they throw down their weapons in despair.  Now I am made First Lord of the Star League, and all shall bow down to me and pay homa...oooooo! Shiny thing!" - Maximillian Liao, "My Triumph", audio dictation, 3030.  Unpublished.

I think I have all three (maybe not the Redhawk), but I will check and add as needed.
There are no stats for the Hughes class that I am aware of.

I'll add it.


Also; Does anyone else recall a BC story featuring a rebuilt protomech kicking ass and taking named? An erinyes variant if I recall...with M-Pods???

Sorry, you do have all three.

Two more:

There's also the Age of War Leviathan-class JumpShip from Far Country - not the same as the Clan WarShip of the same name.  And, given statements about how the "reactor has scrammed" - may be fission-powered.

Yep, mystery solved.

I wish though we get actual DropShuttle.    Seem like they never succeeded in making one when they were doing the Primitive series.  Even the DroST were too heavy to classify as them.

I think the Saturn Class DropShip did though.

Dry dock is a Pressurized one, so big enough for an Impavido class WS.

Looking at Free Flight LTD. on Sarna... Also shows a Clipper-class Cargoship, but no stats...

Also 3057r has the stats not RS for the Pressurized Large Yard, most likely with attached Small Habitat station orbiting nearby. Along with an assortment of Small to Medium-ish Orbital Factory " Park ".

I've "built" Titan Yards like this before, back in the day...

I will add the Clipper and also the Graf-Tengu Air Transport. And the Manazuru, it seems. Man I like this trend of more conventional aircraft!

Hmmm, I remmber those misc yards in 3057. I always took them as super-generic modules; adjuncts to larger facilities.

Good news is the lab boys say the symptoms of asbestos poisoning show an immediate latency of 44.6 years. So if you're thirty or over you're laughing.

Record Sheets: Succession Wars

Though in fairness most of the sheets in it are reprints with minor formating changes, there are still something like seven all new record sheets in there.

“The Spider Dances” introduced the Traveler-class aerodyne mail shuttle, in use in the FWL in 2466, predating the HPG.  It's stated to have a crew capacity of 2-3, and can be flown by a single pilot.
