== 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]]''.
