| == History ==
| |
| The '''Drayman'''-class [[transport]] is one of the true workhorses of the human sphere of influence since at least [[2649]]. Their modular design and simple construction allow for easy conversion for use in a number of valuable roles:
| |
| | |
| Freighter/Tanker: The standard Drayman transports carries a crew of sixteen, and are used to carry men and equipment throughout the [[Terran Confederation]].
| |
| | |
| Courier: The Terran Confederation uses fast, lightened Draymans to carry battle plans back and forth from the front lines. This proved almost disasterous during [[Operation Thor's Hammer]], when the [[Kilrathi]] captured the [[TCS Falstaff]] on the ground at [[Goddard]]. Pilots from the [[TCS Tiger's Claw]] managed to intercept and destroy the courier before it could be returned to [[Kilrah]].
| |
| | |
| Troopship: The [[Terran Confederation Marine Corps]] often uses Drayman transports rather than more valuable assault transports. The troopships carry one hundred marines and a crew of twenty-five. Noted Drayman troopships include the [[TCS General Powell]], which participated in the attack on the [[Sivar-Eshrad ceremony]] at [[Firekka]]. Ten Drayman troopships escaped the [[G'wriss]] System carrying 1,000 marines during [[Custer's Carnival]].
| |
| | |
| Hospital Ship: Draymans converted as hospital ships served during the [[2654]] outbreak of [[Watson's Disease]] in the [[Dakota]] System, carrying patients out-system for treatment.
| |
| | |
| Draymans are also available to the civilian market. Carrying a crew of twenty, they are generally considered a step up from privately owned four-man [[Galaxy]] merchantmen. Companies and individuals make use of lightly-defended Draymans throughout undisputed space.
