The Bifrost Fleet Foundry proudly presents the "Odysseus", the latest in their line of interstellar capable rapid transport vessels.



Measured at 85.3 meters in length, 28.7 meters across the beam and with a draft of 18.7 meters, it is the largest ship of it's kind.



The Odysseus project was originally commissioned by the UGTO Senate just after the Sirius incident. A need was identified for a fast and heavily armored RTV for diplomatic purposes. And so, six years later and after much political wrangling over contracts and designs, the first Odysseus class transport left the Bifrost Shipyard construction facilities.



The Odysseus is designed to support 5 crew members and 15 passengers, and features two 270 degree Standard chemical lasers for point defense. In contrast to other, similar class transports, the Odysseus sacrifices space normally used for sensory subsystems for additional armoring instead, giving it far superior hull integrity than even the front line ST-0x series scout ships.



The first Odysseus off the production line has been dedicated exclusively for the use of Grand Chancellor Mato and his deputy, Vice Chancellor Kitashiro. They will be formally presented with the ship at a naming ceremony later this week.



The BFF has already received orders for over 200 of these new vessels from various planetary governors and other well known corporate CEO's, which secures the future of the company for the next 2 years.
