After the Gegno discovered hyperspace lanes and began to use them, their enormous (and expensive) generation ships became too cumbersome to use for the purpose of interstellar commerce, leading to the need for a smaller and more manageable ship such as this. The Shale is the Gegno's equivalent of a Shuttle: a small and compact transport. Whether it be cargo, trade goods, travelers, or recruits, Shales are the foundation of Gegno interstellar civilization.
