One of the more bizarre Allied designs used during the GVAW, the Vertigo-class Omni-Lander was originally developed in Galbadia by Toivo J. Kaario as a heavy transport able to rapidly and easily manoeuvre through the Åland archipelago, keep a substantial number of men and armoured vehicles safe under heavy armour, and come right up to the beaches to disembark their cargo. The solution was a ship that committed more sins against the conventions of naval engineering than any before or after it - although the Katsuragi Protectorate and Celestial Viceroyalty Of Corona seem intent on giving the Vertigo a run for its money. Despite the acknowledged tendency to make naval engineers break down in tears upon seeing the ships, these boxy transports served the Allies well throughout the war. It was so successful that the Voshkod stole a few examples and copied it for their own use.

Following the war's end, a shift in Allied naval and logistical thinking led to the retirement of the Vertigo from active service, and almost every single example ended up in the hands of private companies. The Vertigo had earned a reputation as a manoeuvrable, rugged short-distance transport with a large cargo capacity and the ability to ride out even the fiercest storms without risking capsizing or sinking, thanks to their unconventional design and powerful manoeuvring thrusters on all four sides. The Allies had also neglected to strip the heavy armour plating from the ships, which a number of less ethical buyers were all too happy to take advantage of.

As the Minutemen gained strength, they were able to come into ownership of a small fleet of Vertigo transports, most of them donated by private companies sympathetic to the rebellion and then written off as accidental losses in the company books. The Minutemen couldn't have asked for a finer transport: still just as tough and manoeuvrable as they were during the GVAW, these venerable ships once again serve to transport men, vehicles and equipment.
