- Dedicated Well Deck
- Dedicated Launch Deck
- Dedicated Landing Deck
- DEDICATED BUT SEPARATE LAUNCH AND LANDING DECKS - While the fighters onboard are VTOL capable, the catapult systems allow for quick launches and landings, especially necessary in battlefield situations.
- I SAW THAT A MILE AWAY! - The long-range detection system keeps enemies from getting the drop on The Liberation class much like The Ethereal class but with more defensive capabilities.
- WE GOT YOU BOY! - The long-range weapons, combined with the long-range detection make this a difficult ship to attack without heavy bomber support.
- ANNUNAKI - Like the original Ethereal Class, "The Annunaki", has special docking clamps and ports that can allow it to dock on the ventral section of the carrier (The Well Deck) . Only this design allows for a jump to hyperspace. It is not used much anymore, but the ship is there in case.
WEAKNESSES
- EXPOSED BOW LAUNCH PORTS - There are more than a few launch ports on the carrier, but the main launch bays are located on the bow and a well-placed attack can incapacitate them. If there were "sniper ships" they would have a field day.
- HEAVY CARRIER... NOT CRUISER - While "The Liberation" class can conduct ship-to-ship combat, "The Ethereal" class is a stronger class to conduct these operations. The Welkin class is even more capable, this is not the primary focus of the vessel, and it could use some help in a fight.
- SOOOO MANY FIGHTERS - The problem with carrying so many fighters is that if you are launching an assault it takes a long time to launch them. Like it or not, the ship is extremely vulnerable during this time.
DESCRIPTION
Out of some strange design in his head, the late Admiral Liram Angellus believed that a carrier should be a "floating city" which means that one should be able to conduct multiple and multiply varied types of operations simultaneously. All the while operating for months, even years at a time without making port. "The MK II Ethereal Class" is ridiculously large but provides this role to a tee. The dedicated command levels offer office space as well as training, education, and planning rooms without the prying ears of the enlisted. There are not simply "holding cells" but a veritable "jail". Support vessels and troop carriers no longer share catapult pressers but their own specific "drop" arms, releasing the ship tethered to a long "arm" often into a planet's atmosphere, too, or wherever. The Marines have their own well-decks often allowing for and encouraging mass landing operations. There is little that this ship cannot do. She has her flaws, but no one is perfect. This class was originally set to be decommissioned until new CEO Alyksandra Angellus designed the prototype model "The Liberation" to the Foundation.
