Welcome to the HeavyMetalPro Forums

Not all ships of the TCN were designed for war. The Nile class were in fact ancient vessels that specialized in delivering heavy, bulk cargo from system to system. Vital to the war effort, these ships did not serve in the defensive Fleets, but without them and their efforts at moving raw materials, the Concordat could not have held out for twenty years.

==Overview:==
The Nile class vessels are the other twelve ships that accompanied the
twenty-four McKinley class vessels on the Calderon expedition (two of which
were lost piercing Flannagan's Nebula).  These twelve vessels carried the
heavy equipment and additional fuel that would be needed by the colonists.

Since that time, these ships have been refitted and placed into service as
heavy cargo and fuel transports for the Concordat.  These vessels
vanished--along with the McKinleys--following the Reunification War.
