Description:

In simple the frigate of the carrier class, cheaper and easily replaceable this ship allows the UNSC to field more carriers against the covenant as opposed to the other, more built up carriers. Despite the noticeable dip in cost however the carrier is still able to defend itself with an average of three point eight five meters of Ti-A armour on average and two SSAK-78s which are present on destroyers. The ship is also smaller than the rest of the carrier classes at two point five thousand meters in length and eight hundred meters at widest, that being the aft section of the ship. The ship effectively hosts expansive living quarters in terms of cabins towards the center of the ship as well as a total of twenty hangers. Ten on each side.

The ship on average boosts a crew of two thousand, three hundred and sixty, with one thousand, six hundred and fifty five being Marines and ODSTs, and the bridge has two of each station as standard with bigger ships. The ship also has it’s own tram system which is often used for freight purposes. The two MACs also sit side by side at the front of the ship similar to the way a frigate has it’s MACs. The ship also boosts two main engines with three sub engines on either side of them, these as well as the rest of the ship are powered by reactors that allow it to push to two hundred and twenty five percent at full push.
