Gage-class Transport

Gage-class Dreadnaught The Gage-class destroyer was a dreadnaught used by the Sith Empire. It looks the same as the Terminus-class destroyer yet much smaller and mostly used for transporting important cargo. It and was seen often used by the time of the Cold War.

History
Resembling the larger, more heavily armed Terminus-class destroyer, the Gage-class transport trades the destroyer's numerous turbolaser banks for cargo space and troop barracks. Where the Gage does resemble its cousin, however, is its heavy armor--the Gage isn't built for speed or combat, but to get its cargo to a destination intact.

Captaincy of a Gage is often a first step for Imperial naval officers seeking greater responsibilities, but it can also be a punishment for an officer who's drawn the ire of his superiors. In one famous case during the last war, a disgraced captain took advantage of the Gage's armor in an act of redemption--ramming the ship into a Republic battle station, tearing through deck after deck before the Gage was destroyed.
