Other:
Used by Earth forces during the colony wars, it was built
to quickly bring and dispatch marines on the land.  Since
the middle section cannot sustain atmospheric entry, the
forward and rear section merge together for the last part
of the trip.  Each half saucer has trap doors allowing
faster dispatching.

The small fighter inside the middle section is mainly used
for guard duty while the saucer is away or for
reconnaissance.  It uses gravity engines, so it cannot go
very far from any important mass (big ship, planet or
asteroid).

P.S.: Most of my lego pieces are 2x4 bricks and
2x2 45 degrees slopes so most of my designs will tend to
be "square".  For any other comments, remarks, you'll find
