| The UET Kadmos |
Blue Planet: War in Heaven Tech Description
UEF heavy transport often adapted for military purposes. Ugly but functional, the Kadmos was manufactured in the hundreds as part of the late-Isolation shipping boom in Federation space. If fitted with intersystem jump drives, all of the Kadmos transports in Sol could establish a brand-new trade route stretching across the GTVA.
Developer Notes
The model was initially made by Aldo for an unspecified RTS game, presumably Sins of a Solar Empire. He later released the model on Sectorgame [1]. It was then turreted and converted as a Corvette-class ship and posted on F2S by Droid803 [2]. The Blue Planet team then took the model, removed its three forward heavy cannons as well as a number of other turrets, and scaled it down to be a transport.

Name Origin
In Greek, Roman, and Phoenician mythology, Kadmos (Κάδμος) was a Phoenician prince who was sent by his parents, the King and Queen of Tyre, to escort his sister Europa home after she had been abducted by Zeus. Kadmos is also credited by ancient Greek historians with introducing the Phoenician alphabet to Greece (giving rise eventually to the modern Latin alphabet) and with the founding of the city-state of Thebes.
