The Firefly-class ship is a multipurpose, mid-bulk transport boat designed by the Allied Spacecraft Corporation. From when the first series one hit the market in Feb 2435 to the latest series four model July 2513 they represent one of the most versatile and readily available ship types in the known verse. The Tohoka-class cruiser was conceived and a mobile base for pacification operations, and a visible symbol for Alliance prestige and power.
