Isn't that a transport? Is it on the CIC's ships database?

I don't know where I picked up the radar-absorbant stuff.

Maybe on the anti-radar product shelf, or some anti-radar site.

Blair's warbook identified it as a Caernaven-class frigate - everyone has them, even the Kilrathi who took them as trophies of war. They're, as he put it, 'common as dirt'.

Woah, woah, this thread is becoming too confusing.

This is the Black Ops transport seen in Wing Commander IV. It's never given a class name. You disable one late in the game to get a squadron of Lances for the Intrepid... and they also show up at a few other odd points.

This is the "Black Lance escort carrier" model that's never used in the game. We dubbed it an escort carrier for fun -- we know absolutely nothing about it (canonically, it doesn't exist).

This is a Caernaven-class frigate, as seen in the Hellespont missions and their equivalent chapters in the WCIV novel.

As for cloaking, as best we can tell it'd be impossible (and storyline-stupid) to cloak a carrier. The spikey jammer transport in WCIV could cloak, but couldn't fire her engines at the same time. The largest thing we've ever seen be cloaked is a space lab, which was apparently being powered by an outside source.

Maybe that's where I picked up some kind of radar absorbant/cloaking idea from the novel, forgot about the science lab.

C-ya

That's the one. Also known as the "black lance trasnsport" because it's a transport and the black lance were using it.

It looks very much in the same style. Too bad it was never used.

The nearby moon of Endor.

I can only recall the time when you're escaping from Axius, are there any other "odd points"?
