Developed to meet the logistical needs of the Liberty Armed Forces for rapid deployment of critical troops, equipment and infrastructure into hostile environments; the Bison Class was built to accomodate the daunting task of performing space to atmospheric maneuvers without the benefit of Ageira docking amenities.

As the largest, and one of few, craft fully rated for atmospheric operations it was not long before a number of domestic commercial ventures were putting in bids for civilian construction and distribution with aims of circumventing reliance upon Ageira technologies in under-developed regions. While extremely difficult to maintain, the vessel's gargantuan hold ensconced within a reinforced space frame, replete with military grade defenses, has rendered it an attractive purchase for corporate entities seeking to outdo the martial capabilities of the Mastodon class.

Handling

• This ship is too large to use docking bays, it must use mooring points.

Review without version number

Review The Bison is slow, as all large transports are, however it is a very good ship. It has 10 turrets, high hull, and is very thin, allowing it to defend itself while turning/tilting to avoid torpedos. It also has 4,300 cargo, which is enough to satisfy me. Many traders will fly this while saving up for a Stork, however many also choose to keep the Bison, because of its ability to efficiently defend itself.
