Eagle-Class Battle-carrier

In YE30 the Eagle-Class Battle-carrier has been designed to serve as the new backbone to the Lorath Matriarchy fleet, in late YE 32 it is expected to be fielded.

About the Ship

With recent developments in resource management and fleet allocations, the Lorath Matriarchy determined that an ideal method of conserving on the production of capital warships and permanent installations was to partially combine such costs in the form of one unit. This reasoning produced the Eagle-Class Battle Carrier for the purpose of serving as a forward support and rear support platform for fleet movements.

Key Features

The primary features of the Eagle-Class make themselves apparent at a glance. Size, carry-capacity, and weapon payloads are the primary features of the class.

Mission Specialization

The primary function of the Eagle-Class is to serve as a mobile command and deployment platform, while also delivering heavy supporting fire.

Specializations Of The Eagle-Class

  • Heavy Fire Support
  • Fleet Combat Operations
  • Command And Control
  • Small Craft Deployment Platform
  • Planetary Siege

Appearance

History and Background

From the very start of the Matriarchy's relations with the outside universe beyond their home world in YE28, with the aggressive subjugation of Lor through the actions of the YSS Sakura under the command of Taisa Rufus Sydney, the Lorath have found themselves as the target of military driven diplomacy. From YE28 and onward, the Lorath have been involved in conflicts ranging from a disastrous run-in with the Sfrarabla Mishhuvurthyar Xhrafuklurp (SMX) to the subjugation of traitors to the Matriarchy. During these events, the Lorath Matriarchy had found that their space superiority was non-existent with threats posed by opposing spacecraft which could annihilate the Matriarchy within the span of a day.

Due to the threat posed by outside forces, the Matriarchy made its best attempts to raise a fleet which could effectively subdue enemy attackers, while ensuring the best of Lorath interests abroad. However, the Lorath Self Defense Force did not have a means available to deliver decisive firepower and support to front-line engagements in an economical manner. With fleet sizes reaching the very brim of what the Matriarchy could sustain in YE30, the decision was made to produce a new series of ships which would be able to deliver the will of the Matriarchy, while minimizing supply lines required to support the craft. Through these requirements, the Eagle-Class Battle-Carrier project was conceived, but was spurred onward by the involvement of High Priest Velor Tomoe Tur’lista, as a project which could also deliver a gift to the United Outer Colonies Prime Minister Tange-Katsura Ayana to commemorate the birth of her son. While using this motive and somewhat of a guise, the High Priest effectively transitioned the project to include the assets of the United Manufacturing Cooperative into the project.

Life Support Systems

Water

For the purpose of providing water for crew consumption aboard the Eagle-Class, a hydrogen collection system specificly intended for the task has been integrated into the exterior of the Eagle-Class for the purpose of combining the hydrogen with oxygen to produce water.

Used water is processed through a system designed to operate similar to that of the SDI Water Filtration Device. Additional ozone based, polymer membrane, reverse osmosis, ultraviolet exposure, and steam treatment of water is utilized to ensure that water available on the Eagle is free of contaminants. Biologically contaminated waste water is often treated in a manner which allows for waste material to be routed to various utility systems such as bacterial power cells, and chemical separation facilities.

Air

Air aboard the Eagle-Class is largely recycled from an initial storage capacity. Air is recycled through the use of plant and bacteria based filtering devices. Air is further purified through the use of polymer membranes, as well as a process of being routed along systems of the Eagle-Class which produce exceptionally high heat levels for the purpose of neutralizing airborne pathogens.

In the event of requiring replacement air, the Eagle-Class' life support system is capable of routing water from the Eagle's water supply into a holding tank, where it is then subjected to electrical current to separate oxygen from hydrogen. Nitrogen is derived from waste processing procedures.

Life Support System Secondary Power

For the purpose of conserving power aboard the Eagle-Class battle-carrier, the ship's life support system has been designed to produce a portion of its own power. With this intent, water production systems aboard the Eagle are designed to conduct the combining of oxygen and hydrogen within a proton exchange based power cell. Additional power is derived through the use of Bacterial Charge Pack and methane produced from waste management procedures.

Pico-Jelly Circulation

For purposes professional and personal, a Pico-Jelly circulation system has been included as a standard utility aboard the Eagle-Class. This system allows for the delivery of pico-jelly from a series of reservoirs distributed through the Eagle. Pico-jelly is delivered by a dispenser system, or to systems which utilize pico-jelly for their function.

Cryonic Storage System

Incorporated into the LSDF Cryosupport Chambers, the cryonic storage system utilizes long standing technology utilized by the Lorath for the controlled preservation of live personnel for extended space travel while using minimal resources.

Infantry Operations Support Systems

Forced Docking Ports

For the purpose of seizing starships, a series of docking ports have been designed to incorporate a forced docking system. Forced docking systems use a reinforced docking tube with a plasma cutting system housed along the docking ring at the end of the unit, as well as mechanical appendages which are used to grasp onto a target hull. Each forced docking port includes a plasma wash system to prevent enemy combatants from entering the tube, as well as to clear personnel from the area in which the docking tube has attached. Once attached, the docking tube delivers a sealing ring of pico-jelly which is meant to prevent the loss of atmosphere from where the docking tube and target hull meet. Personnel are then able to proceed between ships.

Variable Hull Configuration

To provide a wider range of function for the Eagle-Class battle-carrier, the structure of the ship includes systems which allow for the Eagle-Class to separate its primary components to produce four different independently operating sections. When separated, these four sections include the port and starboard wing modules, central docking module, and the command modules of the Eagle. Each of these sections maintain a sustainable degree of function, allowing for portions of the Eagle-Class to survive in the event of crippling damage being sustained by any one given portion of the ship. This splitting also allows for the Eagle to coordinate maneuvers in which multiple platforms would prove more effective than a single joined unit.
