Description/Overview:
         (ALL MODELS)
         The Ogre class of military transport ships were originally built by the United States Space Navy in 2064 AD for their initial attack on Earth’s moon. These craft were very successful as planetary assault transports and were quite agile in both space and in an atmosphere. The mission of the Ogre series did not change much with the introduction of the EFSM model (Mark II). The Ogre class of ship was NOT very capable in ship-to-ship combat, as they were not designed for that kind of mission. These ships, therefore, always required some form of escort (initially Kentucky class ships, followed by successive improvements of that design.). A total of 9430 of these craft were built between 2064 and 2120 AD.
         (Mark I)
         The first model of Ogre class was built out of need for a multipurpose vessel. Initially, the United States Space Navy intended to use the Ogre class of ships as a cruiser capable of transporting exosuits, and tanks as well as engage in ship-to-ship combat with the UNSC forces of the time (2064 to 2070). However, the Ogre class was overshadowed by the Earth Federal Republic space fleet when the USSN was united with the EFR in 2068 AD. The Ogre Mark I ships were assigned to military transport duties only. The main mission of the Ogre MK1 during the 1st Interplanetary War was to drop off MBR-01 and SBR-01 mecha during assaults on the various planets, moons, and asteroids controlled by the UNSC. Its secondary mission was as a supply ship, carrying food, weapons, and cargo from one EFR base to another. By the end of the Battle of Pallas in 2072 AD, the MK1 was being used as a transport full-time. The MK1 fleet of 376 ships (all that survived the Battle of Pallas) was upgraded to MK2s in 2073 AD.
         (Mark-II)
         The second model of the Ogre class was built in order to upgrade the existing Ogre class fleet that had been all but destroyed during the Battle of Pallas in 2072 AD. Additional ships of this class were also needed in order to meet the demands of the growing Earth Federal Space Marines. The second model was introduced in late 2074 AD. A total of 1000 additional Ogre class Mark II troopships were built between 2083 and 2085 AD during the Ceres Conflict. The MK2s were used primarily as battlerobot transports during that conflict.
