==Overview:==
The New Vandenberg class Transports are the standard class of troop transport
in the Concordat Navy. Though small, these ships are more than able to
perform their mission to deliver 'Mechs, armor, and Infantry from system to
system via the four DropShips that can be assigned to the ship. Though only
lightly armed and armed, the New Vandenberg class ships also carry over 65,000
tons of open cargo volume and four small craft, with a deployment duration of
180 days without resupply.
Ninty-six tons of standard armor provides only token resistance to enemy
attacks, while the sixteen popguns (Martin-Gordan Flare Class 35 Naval Laser)
will only deter very light ships and pirates. Taurian naval philosophy calls
for all transports to be escorted, however. And under those circumstances,
when a strong escort is present, the cargo and DropShip capacity of the New
Vandenbergs is greatly appreciated.
Production of the New Vandenberg class ceased in 2520 after thirty-six units
had been completed. These ships are supplemented by conventional JumpShips as
transport vessels in the Concordat Navy.
Below are listed all known vessels of the New Vandenberg class.
