Description/Overview:
The Atlas class of super-heavy transport ship was conceived of by UNSC master ship designer Yuri Severnoe as the solution to the UN’s problem of building refuel stations in between Earth, Mars, Venus, the asteroid belt, and Jupiter. Originally, the Atlas class was intended as a mobile spacestation capable of just refueling ships along the UNSC space lanes. Dr. Severnoe offered a totally different idea. He proposed the towing of planetoids into orbits between the inner planets and Jupiter, to be used as full-scale UN bases, refineries, and shipyards. This, of course, would require a large-scale ship/tug capable of pulling even the largest planetoids either by itself or in a fleet of such ships.
The cost and scope of the planetoid-moving project required the building of massive spacecraft on a scale that previous Earth-bound engineers thought impossible. However, Dr. Severnoe and his team knew that the zero gravity and weightlessness of space would allow them to build the necessary ships to move the planetoids where they needed them. The biggest challenges in designing the Atlas were the engines and the nuclear reactors.
Dr. Yuri Severnoe’s great space transport ship began production in 2049 AD, at the start of what would become the Great War. The design was horribly expensive, consuming the total Gross Industrial Production of Mars for the first four years and the first twelve ships of the class. When Vesta and Hygea bases were completed, additional Atlas production began in space garages around the two planetoids (which had been moved near the main Atlas gap via Atlas class ships). With the shipyards at Vesta and Hygea, the production of Atlas class ships increased to seven ships per year. By 2059, a whopping fifty Atlas class ships had been built, including the infamous Golden Goose, whose history is somewhat muddled by a lack of hard data on the production of the ship.
No two Atlas class ships were exactly alike, and the entire fleet of these ships was plagued with constant problems with their engines and reactors. The ships were invaluable in the moving of the planetoids to their various locations around the inner Solar System, but had become totally obsolete and too expensive to maintain by the 2070s. After Ceres was settled into orbit between Earth and Mars in 2069 AD, the entire force of Atlas class ships was decommissioned and either scrapped or reassigned to other duties and most converted into orbital spacestations around Mars and Venus and destroyed during the 1st Interplanetary War. The Golden Goose was the only Atlas class ship to survive the 1st Interplanetary War. It was decommissioned in 2085 AD after the Saturn colonies on Titan and the other moons of the ringed planet were colonized.
