\nNOTES:<\/strong>
\nThe Amicable<\/em> was one of only a hand full of specially designed transports that served as a light destroyer and support vessel. Originally designed by Grupharg Shipbuilding, the initial design was later sold to Cosmadyne in 2266. Cosmadyne engineers redesigned the main weapon outlay and presented Star Fleet Procurement with a fast, light yet well defended transport for use along the forward frontier. Procurement agreed and production began shortly there after.<\/p>\n

The Amicable<\/em> was designed to use special cargo pods to move repair parts and other goods in smaller quantities than larger full size transports. These smaller and lighter cargo pods could be docked directly to a standard gangway hatch on both bases and starships, allowing the Amicable<\/em> to operate with mobile combat units and repair units when necessary. The Amicable<\/em> quickly became the \u201cgo-to\u201d vessel for transporting specialty equipment that might be damaged by transporters. Special exotic cargos were also common freight, and in 2273, Cosmadyne fielded the first Entertainment pod, specially designed to provide luxury accommodations and entertainment to fleet personnel in deep space. These special pods were transported to front line exploration areas to provide surprisingly divers R&R facilities without the need for large civilian staff.<\/p>\n

As a combat platform, the Amicable<\/em> was somewhat underpowered. The main FWC-1 warp system provided excellent speed, even while towing a fully loaded cargo pod. However, the vessels main weapon, comparable to most destroyers, could not be fully armed. The transport\u2019s twin torpedoes gave the Amicable<\/em> it\u2019s combat edge.<\/p>\n

Despite it\u2019s military capability, the Amicable<\/em> saw a limited number of engagements. During it\u2019s 40 year service history, only 11 of the 121 Amicables<\/em> built saw combat, mostly along the Triangle frontier. Of the 67 Mk I\u2019s, 26 Mk II\u2019s and 18 Mk III\u2019s built, 2 Mk I\u2019s were destroyed, and one Mk II was scrapped. All Mk I\u2019s were converted to Mk II\u2019s. 23 Mk II\u2019s and all 18 Mk III\u2019s are in reserve fleets. 70 Mk II\u2019s were disarmed and sold to civilian concerns, while 7 were sold to other governments. <\/p>\n

The Amicable<\/em> was produced Morena, Salazaar and Sol III.
