Unit Name: Columbus B
Area: Space
Unit type: transport ship
Manufacturer: Earth Federation Forces
Operator: Earth Federation Forces
Dimensions: overall length 145 meters
Propulsion: 8 x rocket engine
Fixed armaments: 8 x Ball 180mm recoilless cannon
Mobile suits: 4
Balls: 8
The Columbus B (or Columbus Ball) is basically an upgraded Columbus transport ship, however on the top of the ship special stations have been installed to allow 4 balls on each side of the top of the craft to sit, and thus be carried. Though the Ball has no protection this way, it is less expensive. The Balls also being on the outside can open fire and the Columbus B moves about. Though the line of visions and range for the Balls when there on the Columbus B is restricted, it is still a big help and can keep at least two or three enemy mobile suits at bay.
Because adding the small stations to the top of the Columbus cost almost nothing the Columbus B is worth mass producing.
$275
