General Vessel Information

The GR-75 medium transport, or Gallofree medium transport, was a clamshell-hulled transport produced by the now defunct Gallofree Yards, Inc.

The design was focused entirely on maximizing cargo space at the expense of armament, speed, crew comfort, and cost. The factory model provided for forty passengers, but almost all ships converted the space for added cargo room. Most GR-75s found their way into Alliance hands during the Galactic Civil War due to their low cost, ease of reconfiguration, and availability of replacement parts.


History

A fledgling Clan Exar Kun purchased the Reliance quite cheaply from an upgrading mining firm. With the merger of the two Clans, the ship was renamed Heretic. It was attached to the Clan Headquarters on Kapsina as a supply runner and troop transport.

It was later present at the Battle of Antei, having been pressed into service as a picket ship. Ultimately, another Clan destroyed the transport in an attempt to slow down the pursuing Vong, an act no more callous than Plagueis itself committed in those dark days.
