The Mighty Lee!
Nearly five years after the debut of the Lee-class merchant vessel, the BSI design division put a proposal to the CEO of Boone Starship Industries (BSI) that a direct competitor for the Cascadia- manufactured Atlas-class should be considered given the sales success of the Lee. It was further suggested that a design team should be tasked as soon as possible to commence work on the proposed project, requesting the CEO and the board approve the proposal and allocate funds for the design process.
And thus, the 800-tonne Thorpe-class Merchant, known unofficially as "The Mighty Lee" was born.
The Thorpe-class Merchant contains full deckplans by author Michael Johnson for both the standard Thorpe-class Merchant and the Thorpe EC ("Extended Capacity") variant. Both are brought to you in beautiful art by fan-favorite artist Ian Stead.
Climb aboard a Thorpe-class and see why so many are trading in their Atlases for this new merchant vessel!
