The Dawn Tender Class of converted cargo air ships, designed for the tourist trade in the [[Draconis Combine]]. The vehicle originated on Combine world of [[Athenry]], where are employed to travel the planet taking passengers to scenic locations around the planet.
  
The ships own their existence to Athenry's depleted resources, which were tapped out by dawn of the [[thirty-first century]]. In [[3049]], the local government, struggling to come up with new resources, decided to convert older ''Provost''-Class cargo airships into the new tourist role, rechristening them as the ''Dawn Treader''-class.<ref name="TRO:VAp94"/><ref name="TRO:VArp104"/>

*; ''Provost''-class Cargo Airship : Original design of the ''Dawn Treader'', the ''Provost'' was built in [[2695]]. It was utilized in the centuries leading up to the [[thirty-first century]] as an ore carrier. These ships featured an [[internal combustion engine]] & [[fuel cell]] which were consider too costly to be retained for its new life as passenger ship. The ship had a greater-than 39 ton cargo capacity when it was in this service. It featured prominently cavernous cargo hauler with massive ore lifts which the later would be removed in service as tourist vessel.<ref name="TRO:VAp94"/><ref name="TRO:VArp104"/><ref>''[http://masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/4875/provost-cargo-airship-standard Master Unit List profile for the Provost Cargo Airship (Standard) - Intro date listed]</ref>
