== Description ==
The '''Baleena''' was a submarine designed for passenger and cargo service.

=== History ===
The Baleena was designed by [[Bluefin Technologies]] after it received a influx of cash after its stocks went public on [[Donegal Stock Exchange]] [[2540]]. Bluefin designed the vehicle to serve as a submersible transport vessel with passenger capacities for industries which operate in the deep oceans.<ref name="TRO:VAp172"/><ref name="TRO:VArp172"/>

A number of these ships have been converted for use as luxury vessels, such as underwater luxury liners or as private family vehicles for the ultra rich. These sales have been to both House Steiner and House Marik corporations. Many others are used by corporations and tour companies.<ref name="TRO:VAp172"/><ref name="TRO:VArp172"/>

== Weapons and Equipment ==
The Baleena is equipped principally as a ferry with a 20 passenger capacity. Its cargo capacity has been divided into two: one having a 40-ton [[cargo bay]] capacity for containers, with two doors; and a small separate three-ton capacity cargo bay with access from a rear-mounted door.<ref name="TRO:VAp172"/><ref name="TRO:VArp172"/>

The ship also comes with a small [[light vehicle bay]], with a 50-ton capacity. The bay has a door mounted in front of the ship. This bay can be used to transport seagoing or dry land vehicles. Several of the Baleenas in use on [[Tharkad]] use this bay to contain a submarine or surface ship to augment exploration of the planet's ice caps.<ref name="TRO:VAp172"/><ref name="TRO:VArp172"/>

The Baleena is protected by 1.5 tons of BAR 2 commercial armor.<ref name="TRO:VAp172"/><ref name="TRO:VArp172"/>

The vehicle is equipped with the following features. It has a submersible chassis and controls modification, 20 passenger seats, two steerage passenger cabins, two [[Searchlight|mounted searchlights]] (which are both mounted in the bow), and three lifeboats.<ref name="TRO:VAp172"/><ref name="TRO:VArp172"/>

==Variants==
* At this time there are no known variants of the Baleena, though a [[IIC]]-style redesign exists ([[Baleena IIC]]).

==Notes==
* As of this writing, the Baleena has no published record sheets as of this time. The vehicle's image was reused for the [[Koryu]] Submarine in ''[[Historical Turning Points: Galtor]]''.
