BX214, BX215, and BX218 were civilian-owned Idris-M class vessels purchased via fundraising by aid organizations in 2812 in response to a disaster in the Corel system. Unexpected solar activity caused a nearly total crop loss in the system for an 18-month period, prompting a major aid effort to ship food and other aid supplies in. The three Idrises, their flight bays converted for freight for the first time, served as armored transports as part of a large, ragtag fleet of similarly repurposed vessels.[1]
