Klavs has taken another stab at a Wing Commandery but original design. This time it's a special transport that could be configured as either a marine assault craft carrier or hospital ship. Whether it's Hercules LCs or special ambulance shuttles, the job for both variants would be very similar with the need to carry lots of people and rapidly transport them to and from a planetary surface. The most well known medical ship is perhaps the Clarkson class transport covered in big red crosses from the WC4 intro, but we also have Drayman class transports that act in the same capacity in WC1. I actually think this design has a lot in common with the multipurpose Kilrathi transport featured in Wing Commander Academy with the forward prongs replaced by a somewhat Drayman-looking nose. Either way, it's quite a bit snazzier than the boxy hospital ships like the TCS Pleiku!
This kind of started off as a hospital ship, (but it's) taken on a life of its own as a large Marine Transport. Lots of big hinged cargo doors and space for about 12 Marine Assault Craft or about twice that many shuttles. Scales out to about 297 meters.
Actually, I'm kind of liking the hospital ship look, just took a little red, is all.
