Vanguard Class Carrier

Propulsion
The Vanguard Class is propelled by 8 Ion engines. These Ion engines will make the ship accelerate up to 2544 G.

Ion engines are not build to work within atmospheres so therefore the Vanguard Class has 2 back-up combustion engines in case they need to get within an atmosphere or something similar.

Energy Source
The Vanguard Class is powered by an Helium-3 Fusion Reactor that is able to power the entire ship. It is responsible for powering the engines, powering the weapon systems and defensive systems and taking care of basic needs on the ship such as lightning.

Hyperspace
The Vanguard Class has Type 06 Hyperspace units meaning it can travel at 6 parsecs an hour which would result in crossing the milky way in 213 days.

Armament
The Vanguard Class is heavily armed with all kinds of weaponry but mainly focused on Kinetic Weaponry ùoxed with strong Laser Weaponry

They are equipped with 6 Heavy Laser Canons which are good against both shields and hulls while the 6 Coil Canons are more specialized against hulls.

There are also 25 FLAK batteries and 40 Point-defense cannons emplacements that give the ship excellent defense against close ranged vessels such as fighters.

There are also 8 Proton torpedo batteries each loaded with 52 proton torpedoes giving this ship a total of 416 proton torpedoes.

Hull and Shields
The Inner layer of the armor is Reactive Nanocomposite Plating which allows the hull to deflect much of the damage that comes from solid projectiles. Nanocomposite is also one of the strongest and lightest materials used by the alliance.

There are two types of shields that protect the hull from damage. The Kinetic barrier is a Mk II variant having additional stopping power. Excellent against kinetic weaponery it is useless against energy weaponry but that's why there is also a multiphase energy shield in place.

Complement
The ship has a minimal crew of 180 members. There are also usually 3 Marine Platoons on board the ship which makes an additional 90 marines on board. And there are also alot of pilots, technicians and mechanics that work on small craft. With a full complement there are an additional 1,000 people on board.

The carrier has several docking areas to store 5 Argo Class Corvettes which makes them the only ship in the Eurionite Navy that is capable to transport battle-ready capital ships. The carrier also has many large hangar bays capable to accomadate up to 650 Aquila Class Fighters, 150 Medussa Class Bombers and 150 Lightning Class Interceptors. It also has a small shuttle docking bay capable of receiving 2 shuttles.

There are also 100 SDRD launch tubes but can't be used all at once because there are only 30 computers on board which allow the control of these drones.

There are also 120 escape pods, 1 for each 10 crewmembers which is the standard for the Alliance.
