Shining Transmission Class Starliner
"Now my dear readers, I must preface this article by stating this is on the Shining Transmission class, not on the magnificent ship herself, but rest assured, there will be pieces on each of our starliners individually in due time.
By looking at the Thu records we can safely say that our liners are uniquely small, they are however, still immense, and the Shining Transmission is larger still then the previous Arrakeen class. These vessels are the lifeblood of our Republic, they facilitate the movement of ships and goods between the stars at speeds previously undreamt off."
