Type: Starship / Invasion and Resettlement Vessel
Affiliation: The Realm
Appearance: Massive disc-shaped craft (flying saucer–like)
Summary:
The Gelt colony transport is a massive, disc-shaped spacecraft used for planetary invasions and the forced resettlement of colonists. These vessels serve as both command hubs and mobile staging platforms, capable of deploying troops, supplies, and even settlers en masse.
First seen during the Gelt Incursion of 429 IE of Gilead (later Hanar) and Amargosa, these transports are visually described as giant flying saucers, hovering ominously over major targets. They project power and dominance while also functioning as logistical nodes for the occupying force.
One of the most prominent examples is the transport used by Laral Umish as his headquarters over the ruins of Lansdorp during the Amargosa occupation. That vessel would later be destroyed in a bombing, resulting in Umish’s death.
Functions:
- Serves as a command post for high-ranking Gelt
- Houses large numbers of Warriors and colonists
- Capable of atmospheric hover and limited orbital maneuvering
- Can be used for psychological intimidation through sheer presence
