Warning: when choosing [PREM] Torpedo Container as an option in the bottom weapon row please keep in mind the following:
- You will need to assemble the opening hatches yourself using wires that are supplied. This means you need a nipper capable of cutting mild steel 0.3mm wire. Or you can just glue them in the open/closed position
- The only compatible weapons in the top row are slimline weapons, container and triple canister should you want to retain the ability to open/close hatch doors.
Lore:
The Atlas-class bulk transport was among the heaviest transport spacecraft ever constructed by the Imperial Fleets. Originally designed to move ore, prefabricated habitats, and entire regiments across interstellar distances, its immense cargo capacity came at the cost of agility and combat performance. During intense conflicts, several Atlas hulls were hastily refitted with battleship-grade weaponry. While the enlarged hulls could physically carry massive rail cannons and lance batteries, the transport’s civilian power plants were never intended to sustain prolonged combat operations. Crews often joked that an Atlas could fire a broadside capable of crippling a cruiser—once. Thereafter, power shortages frequently forced captains to choose between shields, propulsion, or weapons.
Naval historians often compare the class to the armed merchantmen and auxiliary cruisers of earlier ages. The Atlas possessed enormous endurance, exceptional damage tolerance, and the logistical capacity to support entire campaigns. Yet it remained vulnerable to dedicated warships that could dictate range and tempo. Among the most famous vessels was the Indomitable Burden, which survived three fleet actions during the Kharos Rebellions despite suffering catastrophic structural damage. Another, the Mercy’s Weight, became legendary for evacuating over two million civilians under fire, its improvised armor holding long enough to escape despite losing nearly all offensive capability.
