History

The Baleena was designed by Bluefin Technologies after it received a influx of cash after its stocks went public on Donegal Stock Exchange 2540. The Bluefin designed the Baleena serve as a Submersible transport vessel with passenger capacities for industries which operate in the deep oceans.[2] The need for these submarine support ships was discovered during the Star League Era, when the Star League developed several underwater cities.[3]

A number of these ships have been converted for use a 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.[2] Many others are used by corporations and tour companies.

The Baleena has equipped principally as a ferry with a 20 passenger capacity. Its cargo capacity has been divided two bays. One having a 40 ton cargo bay capacity which its cargo is placed in containers. The container bay has two doors placed on right and left of the it. The Baleena has a small separate 3 ton capacity cargo bay with access from rear mounted door.[2]

The ship also comes with a small Light Vehicle Bay, with 50 ton capacity. The bay has a door mounted in front of the ship.[2] 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.[3]

The Baleena is protected by 1.5 ton of BAR 2 rated commercial armor.[2]
