Geffron Class
Transport
Max. Crew: 380 +70 Troopers
Min. Crew: 60
Length: 1 km
Weapons: Two MkV Incinerator Beam banks, one
torpedo launcher and four heavy laser cannons.
Shields: Modified Energy Shields 60 000
Special Equipment: None.
Fighters: 15 fighters.
Capable of landing to planet: No.
Capable of atmospheric flight: No.
Cargo space: 800 m³
Info: The Geffron class transport was an experiment
to pack a bigger section in the back of a MkII
medium cruiser for more troopers. There were a lot of them made and used
in numerous conflicts against GA’s enemies. Basically, it’s a MkII
with more space for troopers and planetary assault vehicles than the normal
ships. The Jump drives and the propulsion system remains the same too.
Hauler MkI
Class Light Transport
Max. Crew: 8
Min. Crew: 4 (Newer Models have central computer)
Length: 600 m
Weapons: (Newer Models) Four light particle distruptors,
one medium particle distruptor and two pulse cannons.
Shields: (Newer Models) Standard Antimatter shields.
Special Equipment: None.
Fighters: None.
Cargo space: 500 m³
Capable of landing to planet: Yes.
Capable of atmospheric flight: Yes.
Info: The Hauler MkI and MkII transports are
the finest military transports in the GA military fleets. The MkI Hauler has
a lot of space for cargo and is used in resupply runs into deeper territories
and colonies of the GA .It can also land into a planet to unload its cargo
or troopers at the right time. The updated weaponry was also a good idea,
thanks to the GA R&D divisions. The MkI and MkII Hauler’s have a
fusion reactor which runs with the Common “Dragonium” fuel mined
from several asteroids and rocky planets. The Hauler MkI doesn’t carry
any fighters at all, but the MkII does. There are some of these Haulers in
civilian use, but they're stripped down versions, of course.
Hauler MkII
Class Heavy Transport
Max. Crew: 10 (Newer Models have central computer)
Min. Crew: 4 (Newer Models need 0)
Length: 950 m
Weapons: Seven Medium particle distruptors, one
Antimatter torpedo launcher and Four MkII phased pulse cannons(pulse-Incinerator
Beam).
Shields: Heavy Antimatter shields.
Special Equipment: None.
Fighters: None(But one of the biggest cargo holds
can be cleared for 29 fighters).
Cargo space: 750 m³
Capable of landing to planet: No.
Capable of atmospheric flight: No.
Info: The big brother of the Hauler MkI is the
Hauler MkII. The bigger engines, updated weaponry and armor, guarantees it’s
place as the number 1 of the alliance military transport’s. The Hauler
MkII has even more space for cargo and logistics than the MkI. Some of the
MkII Haulers have been fitted with fighters launched from the starboard side
cargo bay. By clearing the Cargo equipment in the Secondary cargo bay, at
least 29 fighters can be laid inside. The Hauler MkII can carry troopers and
planetary assault vehicles like the MkII. Recently, the Hephaestus republic
has acquired few of the Hauler MkIIs and are modifying them for their purposes.

large fusion reactor.
Info: Loader is an old transport, but still it's
used quite a lot. It was designed several years before the Gorg war. Loader
was mostly designed to be a population transport, but was changed to be more
of a equipment transport. Loader was never used as a troop transport. Loaders
were used to transfers colonists and equipment to new colonies that nedeed
those. Loaders wasn't used much during wars because it didn't have the capabilities
to evacuate planets so efficiantely, still it was used a little to do evacuation
jobs, like evacuating certain stations, moons and perhaps assist in evacuationg
of some planet.
AA-79 Class Atmospheric
Dropship
Max. Crew: 24
Min. Crew: 2
Length: 25, 18 Meters.
Weapons: One Light Gatling Laser, Two Missile
Packs And One Laser Battery.
Shields: None.
Special Equipment: None.
Cargo Space: Varies.
Capable of landing to planet: Yes.
Capable of atmospheric flight: Yes.
Info: The troop dropship invented by the independent
Gigerdi Federation. It was developed at the time of Dominion war, to transport
troops from transports to the planet. It has some space for planetary assault
vehicles, too. It has got seats for 22 infantry troopers and 2 for the pilots.
These ship are no longer in use, but can be seen in museums and personal militias
around the galaxy. It had weapons so that it could clear out the landing site
without problems.
Ravencroft
Class Light Planetary Attack Transport
Max. Crew: 250
Min. Crew: 100
Length: 688 m
Weapons: Four Heavy Photon distruptor cannons
and One torpedo launcher.
Shields: Modified Energy Shields 45 000
Special Equipment: None.
Fighters: None.
Cargo space: 580 m³ (About)
Capable of landing to planet: No.
Capable of atmospheric flight: No.
Info: The Ravencroft was the idea of the defected
ship designer Gerlus Devook. He designed the Ravencroft for Kyle Gigerdi’s
side of the faction as an orbital assault ship. The ship used a “Drop
pod” system. Which allowed the ship to drop pods full of troops into
the planet. Although, the idea seemed good at first, but the result was far
from it. Sometimes the pods malfunctioned due to the planet’s ionized
atmosphere and stop the landing buffers completely to a deadly drop. Some
of the Dominion's worlds were invaded this way, but with heavy non-combat
casualties. The Ravencrofts had some defenses in them, but mostly they were
useless. The ship used warp drives as its main jump drive. All of the Ravencrofts
were dismantled when the GA was formed. Some of the Texian
sector arms dealers seem to have a couple of these for sale in the black markets
all over the galaxy.
Koenzayr Class
Light Assault Transport
Max. Crew: 300
Min. Crew: 50
Length: 360 m
Weapons: Four heavy plasma point-defense turrets
and Two gravity-well generators.
Shields: 20 000
Special Equipment: None.
Fighters: None.
Cargo space: 265 m³
Capable of landing to planet: No.
Capable of atmospheric flight: No.
Info: The Koenzayr class assault transport was
made just a few months before the signing of the treaty to form the GA government.
The first designer was Gerlus Devook and Kyle Gigerdi. The Koenzayr’s
initial job was to carry lot’s of troops into enemy planets and quickly,
it used warp drives as its jump drives. Later, in the beginning of the Third
bacterian war, some of the Koenzayrs were fitted with gravity-well generators
in order to stop Bacterian ships from escaping the war-zone Some of the Koenzayrs
were destroyed and after the war, decommissioned or sent to a museum.
Bonnhome-Richards
Class Population Transport

cannons and two ion guns.
Shields: Classified!
Special Equipment: None.
Fighters: Classified!
Cargo space: 3 km³
Capable of landing to planet: Yes.
Capable of atmospheric flight: Yes.
Info: There is only 1 of the Bonnhome-Richards
class made, named ironically the “Hope”. It was designed to be a
final hope of the Gigerdians if they would be near extinction. To save as
many people out of the dying empire as possible. The Ship was huge, it was
parked outside the “Gabalan plains spaceport” during the beginning
of the first Gigerdi civil war. The ship was the fastest ship in the Gigerdian
fleets. It carried quarters for millions of people. It had facilities to create
5 full colonies if needed, but one man had other plans. When ambassador Kyle
Gigerdi was prosecuted for treason and brought to Gigerdi Prime, he escaped
the court-martial and fled to the Gabalan plains spaceport. Once there, it
was night and Kyle slipped inside the security checkpoints with false papers
and sneaked with some of his loyalist friends inside the “Hope”.
Once there, they stunned the few night guards and went to the bridge and
took
control of the vessel. Kyle begun to start it up.
Once the Ship was in air the few small official government forces started
to fire, but Kyle escaped with engines blazing to the rest of the rebel fleets.
Later it was used to colonize the world of “Tarsonis” and the planet
known as Gigerdi 2 with numerous other worlds. When
the “Hope” Was finally decommissioned, the parts were used to build
several parts of the urbanized Gigerdi 2.
Tradesman Class
Light Transport
Max. Crew: 30
Min. Crew: 10
Length: 400 Meters.
Weapons: Two Rotating laser turrets.
Shields: 25 000
Special Equipment: None.
Fighters: None.
Cargo space: 300 m³
Capable of landing to planet: No.
Capable of atmospheric flight: No.
Info: The Tradesman class was used during the
first gigerdi civil-war. Its main purpose was to carry uranium and Dragonium
to other space stations and outposts. The design was very old even then, but
was used anyway. It uses slow Hyperdrive as its FTL drive and Ion engines
as its engines. All of these classes were decommissioned or sold to the Texians
at the end of the first civil war.
