Title: Primitive Spaceship Classes
Post by: BrokenMnemonic on 17 December 2013, 15:52:13

I was nosing through DropShips and JumpShips and the detail on the early space programme of the Western Alliance is rather fascinating. It mentions that a number of early ships - the AS Altair, AS Procyon and AS Columbia were "Altair-class transports[/i]".

A number of other ships are mentioned - the TAS Pathfinder, followed by a colony ship named the Ark and then there's menion of six "military JumpShips" to be constructed over ten years, beginning with the TAS Charger. It also talks about the first colony JumpShip to be lost, the Leviathan.

Have any of the classes for these ships after the Columbia such as the military JumpShips or the first colony ships ever been given in canon? Or were these ships all effectively unique?

No information presently exists.

Thank you - and my apologies for failing to say so sooner (I missed that the question had been answered in amidst all the life Christmas madness stuff).
