Liquid transport refers to craft and systems designed to carry sophonts and cargo both above and below the surface of a liquid medium. For typical Terragens, the majority of such craft are designed to operate in a liquid water (H2O) environment, although craft have also been built to travel on and in other substances such as liquid methane, molten rock, and even the liquid hydrogen found deep beneath the surface of Jovian class worlds.
