During the turn of the century, and to celebrate the 28th year since the end of the "War against the Quatus Empire of 2539", the Galactic Federation of Systems (GFS) completely reworked their entire outlook to space ship construction. The new mindset was to produce ships that would be highly modular allowing for any ship built by the GFS to be capable of being refitted to serve whatever role the ship was needed to fill. The way they'd do this is creating cylindrical shape "pods" that served specific roles. From being the ship's engines, bridge, being passenger cabins, weapon platforms, massive cargo bays, whatever a designer could want. This would allow ships to either fill very specific roles or to be able to operate as "jack of all trades" with either ship being able to be refitted to fit either's role.

The GFS took it slow, and in 2600 produced a single Civilian Configuration called the "T-1 CC-Class Transport". It was built from three separate pods, an engine pod, a passenger pod, and then a bridge pod. The ship was seen as this century's "Britannic" as well as the testbed for this new way of thinking. If this ship failed, then the entire reinvention program would be tanked. In late 2600 the first ship, the "GFS: Novis Initiis" and the entire GFS watched as the ship performed its trials, and by 2605, the ship was deemed fully operational, and ready for commercial use. The T-1 CC-Class was a commercial success with various GFS companies, as well as foreign companies buying the vessel with many more voicing their interest, yet deciding to wait for more "pods" to be designed and built for them to use. The ones who waited didn't need to wait long as by 2610 the first batch of "Pods" came out. It was a small patch and lacked any military orientated pod, though the GFS stated this was due to the development taking longer than expected, though many believed it was the GFS simply tired of building weapons of war. By 2639 around 3,000 T-1 CC-Class Transport had been built with thousands of different variants being built all with a wide range of roles to play.
