The Big Mama

This ship is a heavy class military transport/cargoship. It's often used in areas of the galaxy where the wars are going on and so needs to have thick armour and be reasonably well armed. Weapons consist of two laser cannons, one mounted on the main control center and one on the engine block. In addition two of the 4 prongs on the front of of the command center are positron cannons that fire pulses of anti-electrons which can be very destructive.

It's main duties is to extract and deploy troops and vehicles in combat-zones, but also to fly in supplies.

The 4 large containers serve a dual purpose. Not only does it provide the space for the cargo whether it be weapons, machinery or food stuffs but the 4 containers also rotate allowing gravity on the main sections of the ship.

It's 400m long and 70 m wide and high, including the containers. The absolute minimum crew to fully fly the ship is 10, but it's built for a crew of 30. It also has room for 100 troops that might need to be brought in for reinforcements in war areas.

The containers can be exchanged with other types as well as the engine.

The "cutsphere" at the end of the ship contains 3 smaller engines, and a computer controls them individually, so it can help the ship to turn a little faster. It's can still be rather cumbersome i.

It's called 'The big Mama' by the troopers.
