"After
regrouping in a different system, the Mothership was soon
under attack yet again. Only this time, so were all of the
transport ships that had escaped from around Hiigara. First
order of business was defending the transports." Dan
Adams, IGN PC
"But
the mothership isn't quite ready yet: A ship as large as
this requires a crew the size of a city, and the bare-bones
crew that has been testing the ship needs to meet up with
transports carrying the full complement." - Sam
Parker, GameSpot
A
group of these large, carrier-sized vessels were first seen hiding off
in a corner of the map in the IGN pre-E3 gameplay video, and
have since been seen more clearly in proper screenshots. The
coloration and configuration are clearly Hiigaran. They have
a docking port topside amidships, and the
usual starboard bridge superstructure.
These are
transport vessels from the second mission of the single-player campaign, used to
carry Mothership crews. They are identified in the mission
with call signs "Bishop One" through "Bishop
Six". They come under attack from Vaygr fighters during
rendezvous with the Mothership in the shadow of the Angel
Moon near Hiigara, and must be protected. Four transports
must survive to complete the mission; if they other two are
also rescued, the player is rewarded with Elite strike craft
squadrons.
