For insubordanation one too many times, GAIA Ace Tanya Roberts finds herself serving aboard the HMS 'Oddessy', an armed tanker which roves the battle fields lending fuel & tech support to fleet vessels in need of hurried maintanence.
About this creation
During the first Alien War, G.A.I.A drafted thousands of civilian vessels into the war, and it will always be remembered as the most interesting armada ever assembled by humanity. F.T.S.T's come in all shapes and sizes, and generally carry fuel and various fusion reactors and repair equipment. They always carry a small contingent of fighters, though these are generally old outdated models.

"There she is Tanya, your new wings."
"What the?"
"Hehe, what expecting Samhain Fires aboard an old Tanker? Ridiculous."
"Is that?"
"Yes mam, that is Euro Sytems Fighter MkII, you were flying the MkI aboard the Aris, right?"
"I didn't even know they made a follow up on that piece of crap. Are you seroius Sir? Are you trying to get me killed or something?"

"Aww, C'mon Tanya, if your half the pilot evryone says you are, you should have no problems flying that thing, and it's not as bad a fighter as you may think."
"These are defunct Sir!"
"Tanya, the only real problem with that MkII is fuekl economy, and we have a Tanker full of the stuff, so it's all good. I advise you just make the best of this, you might not believe this, but F.T.S.T is one of the best assignments you can get in this war, you'll see very little action indeed."

"Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

dude very awsome and practical ship i enjoy the fact that its minifig scale and seeing from the design you have a veriety of legos to choose from or a big budget because of a very well paying carrer. i like how the hangar looks and that fighter looks awsome! if you have extra time on your hands i would hope that you could shed light on ones creations that arent that popular but nun the less still very creative. |

Great work, beautiful ship, ...for a tanker! Tanya seems to bee a little bit spoiled by all the toys toys she used to have before. Time for a little handiwork, lady! ~Cheers
Haha, yeh, she just wants back in a Samhain Fire! P.S. A Draggone group is forming, now we will have a real enemy to fight! |

This looks like it would be right at home in a rag-tag, fugitive fleet, on a lonely quest for a shining planet, known as Earth. That second shot is money.~H |

Sorry, when I read the title all I saw was "gaia" and "fisted" and well... oh yeah, great build! ~ Chris.

Parrington, have you been watching old episodes of "Space 1999" again? If not then the resemblence of your F.T.S.T to one of their main ships is almost uncanny. I wouldn't worry about Tanya too much. Knowing her she'll find some way to vent her frustrations. I just feel sorry whoever is on the receiving end of that deal! |

Very cool ship, P. That picture of it in the fog (I think it's fog...?) is great. I like the front the best and unlike the person below me, I think the side thruster things are a nice touch. It gives it a more realistic look. Great job overall....mate! |

Cool ship, just I'm not too keen on the thrusters on the side (they are thrusters aren't they?), they just seem... out of place. |

"... an armed tanker which roves the battle fields lending fuel & tech support to fleet vessels in need of hurried maintenance." For a second there it sounded like a perfect job for Tanya to give the tired, old soldiers some ... wait, we were talking about the tanker, not Tanya, right? Magnificent ship! Cool use of those intakes and magnificent presentation/photo editing! |

Nice ship. Doesn't Tanya have a lot of resources she can use to work her way back to the top?
hehe, now just what of recources were you thinking of, lol... |

Lol at first I thought the intakes were the insides of a pair of foldable wings. Nice fighter anyway, and great nanoscaled ship :)
Thanx bud, yeh it's a real confusing looking fighter this one, very unusual to my normal styles, but I kind of like it too, cheers... |

Very good design on everything, but the 2nd pic (the one with the tanker in clouds/fog) really did it for me.
Thanks mate, I am glad to hear that, I was wondering if the effect would come across as I hoped, coasting through a Neptune like atmosphere was what I was going for.. Cheers. |
