For the purposes of this schematic the port and starboard tow pads have been left empty.
Any suggestions for a name? It should be along the same lines as Atlas, possibly some other mythical figure who was made to carry a heavy burden or was notably strong...not Hercules, that just sounds silly.

Nice DY continuity with the tower.
Name submissions-- Qagwaaz (Amerind hero; exceptionally strong) Tiera (Finnish mythology; "shield man' to the hero Lemminkainen) John Henry (American folk hero) Crius (greater Greek titan; handles weight, denisty, & gravity) Ebisu (Japanese god of luck through hard work) Grolantor (god of the hill giants) Sleipner (Odin's 8-legged steed) Magni (Norse god of strength) Vidar (Norse god of strength & silence) Cratos (Greek god of strength & power) Strenua (Roman goddess of strength & vigor) Sir Gawain (One of the strongest of the Arthurian knights) Sir Pelleus (Another of the strongest of the Arthurian knights) Svyatogor (Russian hero warrior) Fenoderee (strength god from the Isle of Man) Balarama (Hindu god of agriculture & strength)
And Antaeus was a giant, the son of Poseidon & Gaia. As long as he stood on the ground, he could regenerate & draw power from the earth. He would also constantly grow in size.

I was under the impression that the G in the TAS registries had something to do with them carrying grain. I gave my robotug a T (for transport or tug) registry.

I doubt registry codes are THAT specific. I just took "NCC-G" as being a special code for autonomous Starfleet vessels.
Just an idea that occured to me ages ago when one of the fighter threads was going but I don't think I ever posted: Something like this design but carrying attack craft on the tow pads- larger than the usual fighter designs and specialised for combat; they wouldn't have to lug around an interstellar fuel supply or be small enough to fit in shuttlebays/hangers.

The mythology geek's friends: the AD&D "Legends & Lore" manual & Encyclopedia Mythica.

Then might I suggest a slight change to Vidar-class? After all, it's an unmanned drone tug, & Vidar was the Norse god of strength & silence.
