Supersized Saga Ship Sets Sail (July 2, 2010)

[ChrisReid]

The newest WC Saga ship is a transport based on the Belleau Wood from Wing Commander Armada. It's got a darker blue paint scheme and a mean looking gun on the nose. An extended version of the craft will fill the role of the larger assault transport from the WC4 novel. There's quite a few of them in the convoy pictured below!

​

We intended our vessel to be the same class of the troopship mentioned in the Price of Freedom novel. In the novel, the Pelileu-class assault transport TCS Louis B. Puller deployed the Marines that “rescued” Tuesday Brody from the Border Worlds in the Tyr System. As the sharp eye can see, our concept of this ship is a larger derivative of WC Armada’s Belleau Wood-class transport.

how does this scale to a fighter/vesuvius class?

The ship is around the size of the Waterlook or Tallahassee.

whoa... very nice! It does look a tad massive though. That would be a tempting target to kilrathi.
