- United Colonies Navy, Landing Craft, Personnel, III; The Lucky Lady
A fleet of ships was contracted for and built during the Colony War which were based on the design of Nova Galactic Freight Haulers. Commissioned specifically as landing craft to ferry Marines between planets, most of these ships were scrapped at the end of the Colony War. The few remaining serviceable ships from the UCN inventory have been sold off to be refurbished back into cargo haulers.
I have managed to get my hands on maybe the only remaining, intact ship. Finished the day the United Colonies capitulated to the Freestar Collective, the ship has languished, undelivered, in the Staryard on New Homestead. When I found it, the yard master was willing to sell the ship at scrap cost just to get it out of his hangar. So, now I am the proud owner of a UCN LCP III. I have christened her The Lucky Lady.
Built with wide aisles and rows for rapid and unobstructed movement, each ship can carry a reinforced company; complete with all their equipment. That's some one hundred and fifty fully equipped Marines which can be delivered to the battlefield from one ship. OORAH!!
Each ship has five medical bays and was to have onboard medical teams to provide triage and emergency care as needed. Each ship also has sufficient habitat space to berth the ships crew and the medical staff.
I hope you enjoy this peek into war fighting and the need to land Marines "any clime and place".
Semper Fi and Semper Gumby, Marines. Happy Holidays, everyone.
