Ian said I should do a transport or something, so I made a fuel ship, which turned into these. The Coalition is slowly getting the boring but practical things it needs.
The Type AAi-210 is an old design, which has been in service for a long time. Here we see four types, fresh out of the Athaj-Aiô astronautical engineering guild's shipyards above Mikô-Îrud. They appear in their unpainted state, rushed to the front lines of whatever war they were built for. Most likely a succession crisis over the throne of Tarsis. From left top to right bottom:
The basic Type AAi-210, without any modules installed. It's completely unarmed and crewed by only a few dozen.
Here we have the Type AAi-210R, a ship with six external fuel tanks installed. Sometimes bigger vessels lose fuel and no longer have enough to accelerate or slow down, so these ships are dispatched to remedy the problem. This was the first one I built, actually.
Next is the Type AAi-210A, which has been fitted to carry lots and lots of cargo. You never know when you'll need a re-supply of water, grain, or a planet's worth of COPcakes cupcakes. Quite a few have entered civilian service over the centuries.
The final version is the Type AAi-210V, a gunboat for support operations. It's armed with six heavy KEW turrets, two guns per turret, thirty-two light KEWs, and twelve missile launchers which you can't see from this angle. This variant is a common escort for larger ships, its maneuverability making up for its relative lack of fire power.

The Douglas C-133 Cargomaster, a strategic airlift aircraft, played a pivotal role during the Cold War era. Introduced in 1957, it boasted a maximum payload of 110,000 lbs, a cruising speed of 330 knots, and a range of 3,500 miles. Its innovative design featured clamshell doors for swift loading and unloading.

We had to wait more than 20 years to see the SU45 class locomotive on the Hel Peninsula. In the photo, one of the two or three representatives of this class (all in private hands) with the special train no. 55216 "Mierzeja" (it means "Peninsula") from Hel to Władysławowo, has passed the Jastarnia Wczasy passenger stop a minute ago and is running towards Kuźnica (Hel) station. June 5, 2021.
Limiting the types of locomotives that could enter the Hel Peninsula began in the late 90s, when traveling with "gagarins" (ST44) on the section Władysławowo - Hel was banned, and a moment later even on section Reda - Władysławowo. At the end of 1999 also SU45 class became unwelcomed, what cause the reallocation of some SU46 class locomotives from Żagań and Olsztyn to Gdynia depot to secure the haulage of mainly heavier express trains in summer season.
The allocation of locomotives among carriers, made in 2008, caused some confusion, because the entire SU46 series was left in PKP Cargo, and PKP Intercity was forced to rent SU46 from PKP Cargo, or providing the haulage with own SM42 shunters, even in double. Finally PKP Intercity leased several 754 class mainline diesels from ČD and yet couple of years later - introduced modernized SM42 locomotives into service. Currently during summer season both 754 and SU4210 classes service PKP Intercity trains going to Hel.
Until the last renovation of the track on the Hel line, which took place in first half of 2021, all 6-axle locomotives except for SU46 class were banned on the line no. 213. And suddenly, after the renovation, it turns out that the restrictions have disappeared just before the season. The disappearance of these restrictions was so sudden that Turkol, the organizer of this event, and more specifically Cargo Master lending their passenger license, had to order the paths based on SU46 haulage, not SU45.
After all, after about two decades, we had the opportunity to see SU45 on Hel again! But not for so long, because after the summer, all restrictions were reapplied.

Trzeba było czekać coś ponad 20 lat, by ujrzeć lokomotywę serii SU45 na Mierzei Helskiej. Na fotografii jeden z dwóch aktualnie czynnych przedstawicieli tej serii (oba w rękach prywatnych) z pociągiem specjalnym 55216 "Mierzeja" z Helu do Władysławowa, minął przed minutą przystanek Jastarnia Wczasy i pędzi ku stacji Kuźnica (Hel). 5 czerwca 2021 roku.
Ograniczanie typów lokomotyw, które mogły wjechać na Mierzeję Helską zaczęło się w końcówce lat 90, gdy najpierw "ucięto" możliwość podróżowania "gagarinami" na odcinku Władysławowo - Hel, chwilę potem nawet na Reda - Władysławowo, a niedługo potem wzięto się za serię SP45/SU45. Wtedy to właśnie - pod koniec 1999 roku - sprowadzono do lokomotywowni Gdynia Grabówek lokomotywy serii SU46 z lokomotywowni w Olsztynie i Żaganiu, by nimi ratować obsługę trakcyjną Mierzei, głównie ciężkich kurierów w sezonie letnim.
Podział lokomotyw między przewoźników, dokonany w 2008 roku znów spowodował pewne zamieszanie, gdyż cała seria SU46 znalazła się w PKP Cargo (czyli de facto nie zmieniła właściciela), zaś PKP Intercity zmuszone było ratować się najpierw wynajmowaniem SU46 od PKP Cargo, potem własnymi lokomotywami SM42, nawet w trakcji podwójnej, następnie dzierżawą od Czechów serii 754 ("nurek"), by w końcu wprowadzić do obsługi zmodernizowane lokomotywy SM42 w postaci SU42 (numery 1001-1010, następnie przemianowanie serii na SU4210 i numery od 001 do 010).
Do czasu ostatniego remontu toru na linii helskiej, co miało miejsce ledwo w tym roku, obowiązywały te zakazy na niemal wszystkie serie, oprócz SU46. I nagle po remoncie okazuje się, że ograniczenia na wjazd serii, wpisane w Wykazie Ostrzeżeń Stałych (WOS) zniknęły co do sztuki. Aktualnie można wjechać na linię helską każdą lokomotywą. "Zniknięcie tych ograniczeń" było tak nagłe, że Turkol, organizujący tę imprezę, a konkretniej to chyba Cargo Master użyczający imprezie licencji pasażerskiej, musiał trasować te pociągi formalnie jako SU46, gdyż ograniczenia najwyraźniej nie zniknęły z bazy POS w PKP PLK i seria SU45 widocznie nie przechodziła na wykresie.
Koniec końców, po ok. dwóch dekadach mogliśmy znów ujrzeć SU45 na Helu!
Nie na długo jednak... po wakacjach wszystkie ograniczenia na sześcioosiowe lokomotywy wróciły. Przypadek?

Ace paperback - 67555 - published 1669 - 1st paperback edition, The 4th and last "Solar Queen" novel by Andre Norton. "Entertaining space adventure for all ages by the master Ms Norton".
comments by CR:
Postmarked the Stars - Andre Norton
"Postmarked the Stars"[1969] by Andre Norton [1912-2005] is the forth and final book in the "Solar Queen' series that was written by Andre Norton. Fortune shins upon you in that you do not have to read the previous three titles in order to enjoy reading this book. Nonetheless many references are made to events in the previous books so it would be useful to have read them first.
As characteristic of many of Norton's early novels a young man struggling to make his way in an indifferent and mysterious universe is the protagonist. Dana Thorson crew member of the free trader space ship Solar Queen is that individual in the series four novels.
In "Postmarked the Stars" Dana is the cargo master responsible for the gathering, storage and tracking of items being transported on the Solar Queen. While collecting a package for transit on the planet Xecho Dana is poisoned and left for dead in a flop house bedroom. Struggling back to the ship he finds a disguised man with his credentials dead in his bunk. For reasons unknown a shipment of alien embryos starts to mutate and a sealed package is giving off radiation. Captain Jellico senses a major blow-up with local authorities over the cargo and the unidentified dead man when the Solar Queen lands on the frontier planet Trewsworld. He orders Dana and other crew members to take the suspicious cargo, leave the Queen in the life boat and hide out on Trewsworld while he attempts to sort out the unsettling issues with the port officials.
The entire middle section of this story is one continuous series of chases, crashes, alien encounters and narrow escapes, as Dana and a Trewsworld Ranger sent to apprehended the crew attempt to unravel the ever evolving mysteries.
The story is interspersed with references to numerous cryptic agencies and concepts that add to the narrative interest but are never fully characterized. Some notions like to ancient Forerunner civilization and the Trosti Foundation come up and everyone shrugs and it's back to the action.
As an introduction to the science-fiction of Andre Norton the Solar Queen series is a more than adequate place to start.

comments by CR:
"Sargasso of Space" (1955) by Andre Norton (1912-2005) is the 1st book in the series detailing the adventures of the crew from the Free Traders Starship Solar Queen. Web sites such as the Internet Science Fiction Data Base (isfdb.org) refer these publications as the Solar Queen books. The other publications in the series and the first edition date are as follows: "Plague Ship" (1956), Voodoo Planet (1959) and "Postmarked the Stars" (1969). It certainly would be desirable to read these books in sequence but it is not essential. Each story stands alone but references are made to events that took place in the previous volumes. Unfortunately the books are long out of print but are readily available on used book sites like Amazon at reasonable cost.
One of the pleasures of this series and more particularly this book is the rather well thought out back-story that Ms Norton elegantly weaves into the text. Some of the elements that are sketched into the narrative as the story unwinds are as follows: We learn, for example, that a formal regiment of training in the various skills required to man a starship is compulsory for aspiring all-male crewmembers - yes male, no co-ed crews in these stories. Our protagonist, a newly minted assistant cargo master must deposit his "token" into a device that evaluates his training and personality and matches him to a ship where he will be most compatible. Norton's universe includes remnants of an ancient extinct civilization called the Forerunners. They left behind cryptic machines that play roles in many of her stories. Intelligent aliens beings and races play supporting roles in this story and add a layer of "otherworldliness" to the narrative.
The story open with the officers of the Solar Queen attending an auction where they are bidding on the rights to obtain an exclusive trade and transportation franchise to a specific planet. The Free Traders cannot outbid the vast shipping combines for the more lucrative planets but must be satisfied with the dregs. The crew pools their resources and ends up with rights to a backwater planet called Limbo. Upon opening the sealed documents they find images of a planet that has multiple ancient scars from a devastating atomic war. The Solar Queen acquires several odd passengers who wish to travel to Limbo. Needless to say said passengers, Forerunner artifacts and mysterious aliens play a role in resolving the various plot entanglements.
The "Sargasso of Space" was written and marked for the young adult market. With that in mind, and considering it was published well over 50 years ago it is still an entertaining book, recommended for Norton admirers and those individuals looking for a couple hours of outer space diversion.

The A-10 is the first U.S. Air Force aircraft designed specifically for close air support of ground forces. It is named for the famous P-47 Thunderbolt, a fighter often used in a close air support role during the latter part of World War II. The A-10 is very maneuverable at low speeds and low altitudes to ensure accurate weapons delivery, and it carries the systems and armor needed to survive in this environment. It is intended for use against all ground targets, but specifically tanks and other armored vehicles. The Thunderbolt II's great endurance gives it a large combat radius and long loiter time in a battle area. Its short takeoff and landing capability permits operation from airstrips close to the front lines. Maintenance at forward bases with limited facilities is possible because of the A-10's simple design.
The A-10A on display was flown on Jan. 21, 1991, by Capt. Paul Johnson on an eight-hour rescue support mission during Operation Desert Storm, for which he was awarded the Air Force Cross, the USAF's second highest award for valor. The aircraft was delivered to the museum in January 1992.
