 Tomar UNESCO World Heritage Site Portugal
At the very beginning of the kingdom of Portugal, D. Teresa and later her son, Afonso Henriques, our first king, successively bestowed upon the Knights of the Temple of Jerusalem vast tracts of land between the Mondego and Tagus rivers.
The baroque period is clearly illustrated in some building processes and architectural decorations, notably through the remarkable military hospital and new lodgings resulting from the re-establishment of the Knighthood as a lay society by D. Joao IV, at the height of the Restoration of Portuguese Independence.
This heralded the beginning of the modern period, in which the memory of the Order of Christ persisted under the form of an honorary Order, of which the President of the Portuguese Republic is considered the Grand Master.

 USS Tomar
The USS Tomar was at the forefront of the recent Dominion War, and, during a special mission, received serious damage, and had to be towed back to space dock, which, the only one available was Utopia Planitia, in orbit around Mars, Sector 001.
The Tomar refit took approximately 18 months to finish, to configure the Apocolypse systems to the Tomar frame, to modify internal and external systems and materials, and to incorporate new Starfleet technoloogy into her as well.
Starfleet Command had an idea of where the Tomar was going to be assigned once her refit was completed, and so, along with three Mark VII Federation transporters, a Klingon Mark VI 10-person silent transporter was also installed at Utopia Planitia, in the Marine section of the Tomar.

We chose to go with the split color LED lightheads in a red/blue configuration.  The images to the right give you an idea of how these perform, but we were unable to take a shot dead on because the brilliant light the LED's emit simply overpowered our digital camera. 
If you're going to use LED's on your vehicle and you have the room, be sure to consider Tomar.  The lightheads are not as compact as some other brands, but they offer a tremendous dose of performance.  Sometimes size does matter.
