- Single Craft Hangar: Yes, one.
- Maneuverability Rating: Average
- Speed Rating: Very High
- Hyperdrive: Class 2.0, standard Class 10 backup.
- All standard military grade features for a ship/carrier of this size.
- Decent compliment of anti-missile and starfighter focused point defense laser cannons and flares/chaff.
- Gravity Well Generator: The Aspis includes an omni-directional gravity well generator in order to prevent ships of the line from simply micro-jumping directly to it and opening fire, though it cannot be focused into a particular direction.
- Optimized Flight Decks: The Aspis's purpose flight decks are well optimized for the launching, refueling, rearming, and repair of its fighter or support craft complement, enabling them to get back into battle faster than a regular, generalist ship might
- Single Craft Hangar: It contains one small personal hangar for ships up to fifty meters in size, typically used for guests or the commander's personal starship.
- Great Hangars: The Aspis is a purpose-built carrier, and as such has two well-laid out, roomy, and efficient flight decks that allow for the quick deployment, rearmament, refueling, and repair of its large strikecraft complement.
- Excellent Speed, Decent Maneuverability: Equipped with state-of-the-art Mandal-Elysium Arms engines and decent maneuvering thrusters, the Aspis can outrun most ships of its own class in any direction that it might choose. One will have to deploy one's forces carefully if they wish to trap or catch up to an Aspis.
- No Offensive Armament: Due to the need to fit a large hangar complement and critical defensive systems like the gravity well generator, the Aspis is unarmed when it comes to offensive weaponry. Its main offensive and defensive capabilities come from its strikecraft and its high speed and decent maneuverability.
DESCRIPTION
Essentially the same as the base model Aspis, but with upgraded defenses including more point-defense guns for countering starfighters and missiles, improved armor to shore up the weakness of the base variant, and chaff added. Essentially raises the defenses to "average" from "low" due to better materials, at the cost of more limited production due to expense. Used in the upcoming XIII Battlegroup subdivision of the Elysium Navy.
