The TUATHA-Class is Brotherhood Of Steel TUATHA- Class General Purpose Ship. restricted to the Brotherhood of Steel as their sole combat ship and shuttle. With a building cost in excess of several billion dollars, the flagship and pride of the Brotherhood fleet, the TUATHA de DANAAN (TDD-1) was specifically designed for the specialized tasks, conducting unconventional warfare and operations. As well as halting the illegal exportation of drugs and weapons, the TUATHA-Class intercept rouge T'sentraedi, smugglers, conduct long-range research operation, and many more missions too small (or risky, with little chance of a big payoff) for the Spacy, but necessary in their own right.
