Gage-class transport

The Gage-class transport was a transport design used by the reconstituted Sith Empire during the Great Galactic War.
==Description==
The Gage-class resembled the larger Terminus-class destroyer, but wielded fewer turbolaser batteries. The transport instead had more space for cargo and room for barracks in which to carry troops. Its bridge deck was also noted for its wide and spacious design.
The transport sported the heavy armor of the Terminus-class to help protect its cargo. The armor was strong enough for the transport to viably engage in last-ditch ramming maneuvers.
==History==
Many Imperial naval officers began their careers captaining a Gage transport. Other captains were known to be demoted from their previous assignments to a Gage if they angered their commanders.
The Gage-class proved a sturdy design during the Great Galactic War, in an incident where a disgraced captain looking to redeem himself rammed his transport into a Republic battlestation. The ship went through multiple decks before being destroyed.
During the Cold War, the Gage-class transport Black Talon found itself pressed by Grand Moff Rycus Kilran into an engagement with the Republic Thranta-class warship Brentaal Star. With the help of elite operatives procured by Kilran, and in spite of being obviously outclassed, the Black Talon secured all its objectives and escaped before Republic reinforcements arrived.
