Fiction:Intergalactic Supercarrier

"There are two types of nations in the Gigaquadrant. Those without ambitions for intergalactic power projection, and those in the possession of supercarriers."

- Silke Kirsch, CEO of the AX Group responsible for early French supercarriers

An intergalactic supercarrier, often referred to simply as a supercarrier, is a type of star dreadnought design pioneered by the French Colonial Empire in the early 2800’s. For many, Supercarriers are the ultimate weapon of intergalactic power-projection, capable of carrying around the logistical structures necessary to keep a navy operating independently from supply lines for months at a time. Their size places generally them at upwards of 30 km in length.

Fulfilling a primarily noncombatant role, supercarriers are outfitted with a wide array of facilities, from shipyards to manufactories, army living quarters to hospitals, airfields to expansive supply depots, training facilities to theatre command. Yet, given their strategic value, they are heavily armored and capable of taking a beating. Later French designs would incorporate heavy Riftfire broadside guns and other weaponry which turned them into capable tactical assets as well.

 * This page is shared with the whole community and can be edited by anyone! Feel free to add your own creations.
 * Any nation with sufficient technical and industrial knowledge can build a supercarrier. However, given the sheer size and amount of moving parts involved in building one, it might be cheaper, take far less time, and produce better results to order one from a nation that has all of the necessary contracts, plans, facilities, and specialists already in place.
 * Supercarriers are inspired by the role that real-life aircraft carriers play in warfare and power-projection.
 * Please avoid belittling! For example, France has only three facilities which can build supercarriers, all of which are former Dominatus installations in Mirus. It takes them between a year and two years to complete one, and is a very costly affair in both resources and coin. The ideal is for the building of even one supercarrier to convey power and prestige on the one who built it, not invalidate the efforts of everyone else. ^.^
