Blomidon

Blomidon

Tier III - Transport

A lumbering beast of heavy-duty manufacturing.

From even the earliest days of colonization there has been a need for heavy equipment transportation. As humanity has spread out under the ice sheet, this need has only ever grown more and more apparent. In the current age, there are many behemoths that crisscross the traveled routes – carrying their cargo to places needed.

The Blomidon class is no exception, and by all right should be overlooked by cheaper alternatives like the R-29 or the monster of epic proportions that is the Berilia. What keeps the Blomidon in service is it is without peer in terms of manufacturing, flexibility, and reliability.

A common sight for construction and mining jobs, Blomidons are often used as housing locations before a settlement has been constructed to the point it is self-sufficient. Featuring a multi-fab engineering bay, allowing for a greatly accelerated manufacturing time. Akin to a mobile factory, the Blomidon’s have been a vital part of Europan infrastructure.
