DescriptionEdit

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 destroyer to help protect its cargo. The armor was strong enough for the transport to viably engage in last-ditch ramming maneuvers.

HistoryEdit

Captaincy of a Gage-class was often a first step for Imperial naval officers seeking greater responsibilities, but it could also be a punishment for an officer who'd drawn the ire of his superiors. In one famous case during the Great Galactic War, a disgraced captain took advantage of the transport's armor in an act of redemption--ramming the ship into a Republic battle station, tearing through deck after deck before the Gage-class was destroyed.

During the Cold War, the Gage-class 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.
