The GTT Elysium

The GTT Elysium was a class of Terran transport used by the GTA and the later GTVA from about the time of the start of the Great War and the conclusion of the Second Shivan Incursion.

A Notable Elysium-class transport was the GTT Omega, a vessel Alexander McCarthy used to steal the plans of the GTW Avenger assault cannon.

The Elysium-class had an advanced variant, the GTT Argo.

Description:

FS1 Tech Room Description

Since the start of space colonization, this standard transport has been used by everyone, both civilian and military. While it has undergone minor changes time and again, it remains a simple design: A vehicle meant to transport personnel from one place to another.

FS2 Tech Room Description

The GTT Elysium class of transports has been in service for over 40 years. Its mission hasn't changed from the time of the Great War - to transport civilian and military personnel from one star system to another. The Elysium is very poorly armed, with a single Subach HL-7 cannon, and also suffers from thin armor plating. Only desperate circumstances find Elysiums anywhere near the front lines. Assaults and dangerous transport missions handled almost exclusively by the much tougher GTT Argo class.

Veteran Comments

Putting this transport in a battle field is like putting a shoe-box in a firing range (you should try it somtime, it's fun with a 12-gauge, funner with a 10), it's just not going to survive. The ML-16 / HL-7 turret isn't going to deter anything but a wounded Zeus.

Its a big box unable to withstand any sort of punishment or dish out enough to deter enemy fighters. There is absolutely no redeeming feature in this transport.
