The Baleena was designed by [[Bluefin Technologies]] after it received a influx of cash after its stocks went public on [[Donegal Stock Exchange]] [[2540]]. Bluefin designed the vehicle to serve as a submersible transport vessel with passenger capacities for industries which operate in the deep oceans.<ref name="TRO:VAp172"/><ref name="TRO:VArp172"/>

A number of these ships have been converted for use as luxury vessels, such as underwater luxury liners or as private family vehicles for the ultra-rich. These sales have been to both House Steiner and House Marik corporations. Many others are used by corporations and tour companies.<ref name="TRO:VAp172"/><ref name="TRO:VArp172"/>

The Baleena is equipped principally as a ferry with a 20 passenger capacity. Its cargo capacity has been divided into two: one having a 40-ton [[cargo bay]] capacity for containers, with two doors; and a small separate three-ton capacity cargo bay with access from a rear-mounted door.<ref name="TRO:VAp172"/><ref name="TRO:VArp172"/>

The ship also comes with a small [[light vehicle bay]], with a 50-ton capacity. The bay has a door mounted in front of the ship. This bay can be used to transport seagoing or dry land vehicles. Several of the Baleenas in use on [[Tharkad]] use this bay to contain a submarine or surface ship to augment exploration of the planet's ice caps.<ref name="TRO:VAp172"/><ref name="TRO:VArp172"/>
