Created by [[Blue Nose Interstellar Technologies]] of Mars, the '''''Liberty''''' class was the first "modern" [[JumpShip]], i.e. the first one designed to make use of the newly developed [[hardpoint]]/[[docking collar]] technology which has since become a defining feature of JumpShip construction.

− The ''Liberty'''s creation was due in part for the need for a more economic design. The JumpShips being produced at the time were bulky and fragile vessels; they could only carry [[small craft]] or so-called [[DropShuttle|DropShuttles]] of up to 5,000 tons, which had to be docked inside the hull of the JumpShip in a [[DropShuttle bay]]. + The ''Liberty'''s creation was due in part for the need for a more economic design. The JumpShips being produced at the time were bulky and fragile primitively built ships, which required so-called "DropShuttles" of up to 5,000 tons to be docked inside the hull of the vessel.
− Blue Nose's efforts, with the aid of Mars University’s Department of Theoretical Physics, resulted in the development of the external [[docking hardpoint]] and [[K-F Boom]]. By allowing a JumpShip to carry its [[DropShips]] externally and cutting its hull size down, these measures would result in a reduction in the overall cost of interstellar travel. The prototype vessel, BNC ''[[Olympus (Individual Liberty-class JumpShip)|Olympus]]'', made its first jump across the [[Terra|Terran system]] in [[2458]] with the DropShip ''[[Nimbus III]]'' (built by [[Deimos Clipperships]]) attached. + Blue Nose's efforts, with aid of Mars University’s Department of Theoretical Physics, resulted in the development of the external [[docking hardpoint]] and [[K-F Boom]].

− Prototype introduction of the ''Liberty'' class did not begin until [[2461]]; the class is said to have been properly introduced only in [[2469]]. Blue Nose initially built a dozen ''Liberty'' hulls for the [[Terran Hegemony]]. The ship's success led the company to merge with its partners and form [[Blue Nose Clipperships]] corporation (later to be known for its massive shipyards orbiting Mars) and go on to manufacture the ''[[McKenna (WarShip class)|McKenna]]'' and ''[[Sovetskii Soyuz]]'' WarShips to great success.<ref name=TRO2750-146>''Technical Readout: 2750'', p. 146, "McKenna WarShip"</ref><ref name=TRO2750p138>''Technical Readout: 2750'', p. 138, "Sovetskii Soyuz WarShip".</ref>+ Production of the ''Liberty'' class did not begin until [[2461]]; the class is said to have been introduced only in [[2469]].
