Class: Transport
Making up a large part of the Confederation logistics train, the Clarkson-class is an unsung hero that wins or loses battles by keeping the front line fleets supplied and operational. Utilizing its modular container design, the transport can be configured to carry anything important to the war effort, including armaments, fuel, general supplies and personnel. Slow, under-armed, under-armored and susceptible to attack by the lightest of Kilrathi forces, these freighters have to constantly rely on fighter or lighter capship escorts for protection.
