DESCRIPTION:
              Another in the long, slow development of the pre-Prodono influenced spacecraft of the LaGrange Republic Space Forces, the Type-39/50 was put into production in 2139 AD as the main ore and supply transport ship between the various L4 and L5 colonies of the Earth-Moon Sphere.  A partial NASA and ESA designed spacecraft, the Type-39 was exactly what the LaGrange Space Forces needed to combat the 2nd UN's fleet of refit shuttles.  Thus, in 2150 AD, the Type-39 became the Type-39/50 and was fitted with electro-static armor, a pair of 105mm autocannon turrets, and a pair of anti-asteroid torpedo launchers that were now being used as anti-spacecraft weapons.  Like all of the LaGrange fleet, the Type-39/50 was a science/non-combat vessel that had been converted for combat due to the outbreak of the Great War in 2149-2150.  It should be noted that this craft carried 20 EA-45 Exosuits, or 15 M2A3 tanks, or 12 MAT-48s, or a combination that did not exceed the internal volume of the cargo container.  This craft could NOT carry battlerobots of the MBR-01 series, however, this ship was the predecessor and inspiration for the Ogre class.

NOTES: This ship was inspired by the Star Cruiser spacecraft from the comic by Jerry Anderson in the 1970s.
