The Koi is the flagship of Wakazashi's efforts to do its part for the Combine. The heavy transport was seen as a large improvement for the economy's need for fast cargo-capable vehicles. In [[3061]], Koi's production line was temporarily halted due to a fire at the plant. The officials with Wakazashi suspected that their rivals at [[Pesht Motors]] were behind what they felt was sabotage. However, production continued and the craft was widely accepted by civilian corporations and planetary militias who recognized the WiGE vessel as a means to move equipment around without the use of expensive [[DropShip]]s.<ref name="TRO:VAp90"/><ref name="TRO:VArp90"/>

After the [[Jihad]] ended, [[Kervil]] became part of [[The Republic of the Sphere]] and hosted the main production line of the Koi, the [[Ryu (vehicle)|Ryu]], and the Nishikigoi WiGEs. The [[Republic Armed Forces]], therefore, had access to these vehicles.<ref name="TRO:VArp84">''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex Revised'', p. 84: "WIGE Support Vehicle"</ref>

*; Nishikigoi : The production version of the prototype listed below, this Koi variant uses the same Thunderbolt launchers and engine supercharger. The armor, however, has been upgraded to seven tons of [[BAR|BAR 10]] armor, and the chaff pods have been replaced by a pair of [[anti-missile system]]s. To make room for these changes, the cargo capacity was reduced to 51 tons and the communication equipment was removed. This makes the production Nishikigoi a well-armored cargo ship that can deliver its cargo into hostile areas and provide some fire support, as well.

*; Nishikigoi : Based on the Koi, the Nishikigoi is best described as a unique [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] variant. This ship, an extensively armed transport, was employed on the world of [[Kaumberg]] in [[3074]]. The craft has 5.5 tons of BAR 8 commercial armor and four turret-mounted [[Thunderbolt 10]] launchers.  It also has been given four [[chaff pod]]s mounted on the rear sides of the aircraft. The Nishikigoi's cargo capacity was reduced from the Koi's 123.5 tons to only 81.5 tons. Its engine has been given a [[supercharger]], which increased the craft's speed.  Also, the ship can be employed as a command ship, using its eight tons of [[communication equipment]].
