The Carolean Heavy Dreadnaught, at 974 meters in length, is just bellow 1,000, and uses heavy turbolasers, ioncannons, anti air cannons, torpedoed launcher has, proton missles to make up for its weak shields and engines, along with heavy armor replacing a fighter, bomber, or interceptor aboard.
The Carolean Cc-- f1 carrier, at five hundred meters is armed with laser cannons, shields, powerful engines, light anti air weaponry, and an extreme weak haul, carries five hundred fighters, 200 bombers, -and 300 interceptors, along with drop ships. It is actually 800feelt wide, much of threat being hanger and engine.
Are these ok?
They are both faction vessels, and the main bulk of our small fleet.

Welcome to the factory!
I see this is your first submission to the factory, and indeed the starship section of the factory, so I will be walking you through the process of creating your submission and helping you get it approved.
First, we will need to head over to the Starship Information & Templates page in the Starship section of the factory. Here we will find the rules for starships, the various templates for each size classification, and other useful tools to be used when creating a starship.
Right now you have two types of starships you're inquiring for, in the factory we only permit one item per submission - so we will need to split this up into two submissions, one for each starship.
We will tackle the Carolean Heavy Dreadnought (974 meters) here, and we can discuss your other starship in a new, and separate, submission.
As your ship is within our Cruiser range of 500-1000 meters, we will be looking at that template for this submission. Cruiser Link:http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Cruiser Variants:Cruiser, Assault, Anti-Starfighter, Escort, Exploration, Heavy Cruiser, Medical, Patrol, Transport Average Length: 500-1000 Meters.
Image Source: (Please link to where you found the image, or to the original artist if possible. TinEye or Google Image Search can help.) Affiliation: (Example: The TIE (Twin Ion Engine) Starfighter was primarily created for the Galactic Empire. Do not put the company unless the product is only for your company's use. Common choices include 'Open Market', Personal, or the name of a specific Faction/Major Faction.) Manufacturer: (Kuat Drive Yards, BlasTech Industries, [Insert Major Faction Name], [Insert Character Name], etc. You must link to any Chaos Company submissions.) Model: (Example: TIE (Twin Ion Engine). For submissions where a model wouldn't be appropriate, such as a custom walking stick, put 'N/A' for 'Not Applicable'.) Modularity: (Can you add components to this submission? If so, link to all Approved Factory Submissions applicable. For most submissions, put 'No'.) Production: (The scale is Unique (Only One Character), Semi-Unique (Only A Handful of Characters), Limited (Only A Select Group Of NPCs/PCs), Minor (Any Character, Only Select Groups Of NPCs), Mass-Produced. (Anyone.)) Material: (What is your submission made out of? Certain materials are more resistant, or vulnerable, to certain weapons. Example: 'Durasteel.' Typically requires development:Restricted Materials. Link: Classification: (Cruiser, Assault, Anti-Starfighter, Escort, Exploration, Heavy Cruiser, Medical, Patrol, Transport)
Armament: (You may provide your armament in list format and must provide your vessel an Armament Rating on a scale of 0-20, where 0 is no weapons, 1 is very light weapons, 5 is light weapons, 10 is average weapons, and 20 is heaviest weapons. Armament Ratings are scaled in relation to the class of ship, meaning a Starfighter will not equate to a Destroyer. Armament Ratings provide only basic weaponry unless the ship also has a breakdown of weapons. Please link to all Factory Submissions used. Typically requires development: Anything above 16 for a max size vessel. Links:Starship Weapons, Approved Technology) Defenses: (You may provide your shield and armor systems in list format and must provide your vessel an Defense Rating on a scale of 0-20, where 0 is a man in a space suit hanging on to an engine, 10 is typical defense, and 20 is heaviest defense with heavy plating and multiple layers of shields. Defensive Ratings are scaled in relation to the type of ship, meaning a Starfighter will not equate to a Destroyer. You should list particular systems under special features. Please link to all Factory Submissions used. Typically requires development: Anything above 16 for a max size vessel. Links:Starship Weapons, Approved Technology)
Hangar: (Please provide the amount of fighters this submission can hold in it's hangar by count of Squadrons, which hold 12 average Starfighters. The higher your squadron count, the lower your Armament and number of Special Features should be. Typically requires development: Anything above 6 for a max size vessel with low armament. Optionally, Feel free to provide a list of names for your squadrons, like the notorious Red Squadron. Alternatively, you may swap squadrons for Vehicles or other items of note.)

Typically requires development: Stealth technology. Ensure capabilities from features are included in the Strengths list. Links:Starship Weapons, Approved Technology, Shields, Engines)
Maneuverability Rating: (The lower the number, the more agile the ship. How agile is your ship? Can it take tight turns? Please provide your vessel a Maneuverability Rating on a scale 0-20, with 0 being infinite agility, 1 being crazy agile like a TIE Interceptor, and 20 being slower to turn than a bantha. Typically requires development: Below 10 for a 500m vessel with a low armament.) Speed Rating: (The lower the number, the faster the ship. How fast is your ship in normal space? How fast can it take off, how fast can it speed through a planet's atmosphere? Please provide your vessel a Speed Rating on a scale 0-20, with 0 being infinite speed, 1 being crazy fast like the Millenium Falcon and 20 being slower than the Dewback. Typically requires development: Below 10 for a 500m vessel with a low armament.) Hyperdrive Class: (The lower the number, the faster the ship. You may use decimals. (Minimum: .5 | Max: 10.) Average Hyperdrive Class:2 Typically requires development: Below 1. Links:Hyperdrive, Hyperdrive Comparisons)
Strengths: (Provide, in list format, a minimum of 1 strength of this submission.) Weaknesses: (Provide, in list format, a minimum of 1 weaknesses of this submission.)

Development Thread: (The main way people work for their toys, though most submissions don't require a development thread. Restricted items require specific development threads. Substantial development threads can help judges approve more powerful submissions. If in doubt, put 'If necessary,' and a judge may or may not ask you for one. Threads cited here must be at least 10 quality posts and must be cited as the full thread title, no abbreviations.)

Getting started with following the template we provide (which is mandatory when using the factory) you will want to copy and paste the template into your new thread (your submission) and fill out each field accordingly. We provide sample templates, cookie cutter templates essentially, to help you decide on what kind of a loadout best fits your ideas.
Here are a few of our samples: Heavy Cruiser Examples: Victory I

Based on the information you've already provided, I think you're looking for a heavily armed ship and thus something along the lines of a heavy cruiser.
Here is our speed chart, to give you a good idea of what the ratings mean and what you should expect for various sizes of ships.
And here is our example ship loadout chart, which can give you a good idea of how your speed and maneuverability + armaments and defensive ratings can effect each other.
To help you out, I've made an example for you (below) to give you a good idea of what we're looking for. You can feel more than free to take this example and modify it to suit your ideas and desires. If you do decide to use it, keep in mind I did not complete the submission entirely, I left portions of it only with a description of what I would need filled out.
Image Source: N/A (Unless you have an image for this, in which case simply place the location the image was taken from and a hyperlink to it) Affiliation: The faction you are making this for. (Only people who belong to the affiliation can use this) Manufacturer: The Faction, Company, or Organization that is making this. Model: Carolean-Class Modularity: No Production: Mass-Produced (Unique is for one character, Semi-Unique is a couple of characters, Limited is a set group of PCs or a set group of NPCs, Minor is for any PC (real player character) and a set group of NPCs, and Mass Production is for anyone) Material: Durasteel hull Classification: Heavy Cruiser Length: 974m Height: 150m Width: 300m Armament: Rating 16
