The Collossus is a heavy transport/colony ship based (in part) on the Galaxy class starship.

What's its size? It look HUGE to me

Yeah, it's supposed to be huge. If you want scale, that primary hull is supposed to be the diameter of a Galaxy saucer.

The idea is for that ship to hold everything you could possibly imagine, and be big enough to supply or evacuate a fairly large colony world. (Since the E-D could only hold an extra few thousand, and some colonies are bigger than that.)

Isn't that a little bit too tiny deflector?

Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :

Naah, it's backed up by 4 engines, so it's a really really STRONG deflector.

(Or at least, that's my story.)

Heck, before Baloo got to it, it didn't have a deflector at ALL.

Forgive it, it was my first (or second, I forget) ship. It's just really really ugly, even despite the facelift Baloo gave it.

My later ships got better. Hopefully, you'll all see that. Right, Mr. Hand?

Hey, Baloo, I just created that homepage you asked about for putting those ships on. (I think.)

Anyway, I emailed you the required information. (I hope.)

If it's named Collossus, say, after the Wonder of the Ancienct World that was on Rhodes, then you need to take out an l.
