I doubt it. More likely they used the same art for 2 different ships and the "Transport" version was born out of story necessity for why the Black Talon was overwhelmingly out-gunned by the Republic Ship the flashpoint sends the characters to confront. By making it out-gunned, it allowed for a group of 2-4 players the epic task of taking down an enemy capital ship. |
That makes sense.

Capsule: The Gage-class transport was a transport design used by the Sith Empire of the Great Galactic War. It resembled the larger Terminus-class destroyer, but wielded fewer turbolaser batteries. The transport instead had more space for cargo and room for barracks in which to carry troops. Its bridge deck was also noted for its wide and spacious design.
The transport sported the heavy armor of the Terminus-class to help protect its cargo. The armor was strong enough for the transport to viably engage in last-ditch ramming maneuvers. |
Great write-up! I've only begun working & reworking my own pass at statting this, though i think mine'll trade the Ion Cannons for Tractor Beams, since the bigger & better-armed Terminus is said to have only 1 Ion Cannon.
Then i'll use that as the basis for my statting of the S-class cruiser.
I'm thinking there were different models of the Gage-class, that range 400-425 meters in length. Some of them may have been recycled S-class cruiser hulls.
