The '''''Robinson'''''-class transport was introduced shortly after the [[Davion Civil War]] not only to replace the losses in the fleets of the [[Federated Suns]], but also to reward the supporters of the new Prince [[Alexander Davion]].  Intended as both a transport ship and naval support for invasions, the ''Robinson'' boasts large cargo bays and anti-naval weaponry, capable of bombarding targets.  The ''Robinson'' also made use of [[BattleMech]] in [[drop cocoon]]s, allowing the ''Robinson'' to directly deliver BattleMechs precisely from low orbit, while maintaining orbit and providing orbital cover.<ref name=TRO3075/>

''Robinson''-class transports were most often deployed to aid BattleMech commands within the [[AFFS]]; the ''Robinson'' was rarely assigned to fleets.  The ''Robinson'' was most often found transporting and supporting military operations on the [[Capellan]] border (while oxymoronically, [[New Syrtis (WarShip class)|''New Syrtis'']]-class cruisers were most often deployed to the [[Kurita]] border).<ref name=TRO3075/> The Block II ''Robinson''-class was active during the [[Star League]] era and was serving in all four Federated Suns fleets in [[2765]], with eight ships spread across the four fleets and two more in service with the Department of Naval Transport.<ref>''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 6: "Naval Defense Doctrine"</ref>
