The Lockheed-Martin C-1 Starlifter was the first First Generation Gravtech military transport we built after the Peloran helped us understand the basics of twisting gravity to our will. We soon built better and larger transports that replaced them, but the Starlifters made it easy to transport ground pounders from orbit to surface and back again. The Rangers still flew them when The War began. They primarily performed search and rescue missions in Texas and the nearby States, and worked them hard in the aftermath of Yosemite. They soon upgraded to Shooting Stars and joined us in the Hyades when it was time to begin invading those worlds. They became an integral part of our operations and I place much of the credit for the outcome of that campaign on their courage and determination to brave the Chinese defense grids.
