Description[]
The Obelus Class Assault carrier was a harbinger of destructive force, introduced at the end of the Alliance-Dominion war the assault carrier utilized advanced technologies and continued to serve the Concord of Humanity and the Milky Way Alliance into the next century.
Physical Description[]
Iconic for its curved elongated shell-like bow the Obelus had a massive weapons module protruding from the midsection and growing in size and length outward featuring a wide heavy weapons battery of two Series 9 Super MAC's and a powerful energy projector. On the topmost part of the turtle shell like hull was another energy projector and at the forward most underside of the long weapons 'arm' was another energy projector facing planetside allowing it to engage in 'glassing' operations.
At the body of the ship was a wide heavy plated hull ending on the port and starboard sides with hanger bays similar to that of the UNSC Infinty. Going inward from these hanger bays were mechanical depos and vehicle transport lanes for access to the hangers to be ferried planetside. Vehicle storage was forward of the hanger bays on this level and above them were galleys, crew quarters, and general living and moral spaces. Below the Hanger decks were life support systems, engineering and machinery spaces and below these decks was the large store hanger located just forward of the engine rooms.
Capable of housing two frigates within or various equipment and landers for fire bases this allowed the Obelus class assault carrier to be both versatile and independently deployable for long durations of time if equipped with the proper equipment to establish groudside commands and therefore hold up against long term skirmishes.
History[]
Introduced in 2680 during the first golden age of the Milky Way Alliance following the war against the Dominion and the formation of the Alliance, the Obelus class Assault Carrier ushered in a new age of technology and authority with the objective of protecting and policing Alliance space.
At the rise of the Milky Way Alliance-Rorich Empire War, the Obelus class Assault carrier saw extensive action against the enemy acting as a capitol ship, heavy warship, and carrier. Only slightly smaller than the aging Infinity class super carrier the Obelus Assault carrier was produced en' mass upon its introduction complimenting most battlegroups and all defensive fleets.
