Midway Class Command Carrier

Build by the Boötean Federation Naval Directorate during the Solomani Rim War. This Heavy Carrier was the largest fighter carrier built up to that time. It carried two 50ton capacity launch tubes to facilitate rapid launch and recovery of the fifty eight fighter squadrons. Designed to serve as the flagship for a large fleet it mounted a full flag bridge with redundant computer. The fleet admiral and their flag staff can focus on command and control of various fleet assets while the captain fights their ship. It carried a battalion of marines with orbital assault capsules, and a battalion of grav APCs. The design featured a heavy sand caster load out to discourage attacks from shoals of missile attacks and absorb laser attacks. Otherwise the offensive weapon suite looks a Battle Cruiser.
