They have minimal armaments, but are equipped with a hyperdrive system for easy entrance to, and exit from, a battle site. Each carrier has a crew complement of 3,505, and has been rated at a maximum speed of 12 MGLT. They are also equipped with a limited repair facility, as well as the following shipboard components: - 10 Taim & Bak H8 dual laser cannons
- 1 Krupx VL-6 Warhead Launching System
- Front/Rear Projecting Shields (180 SBD)
- Titanium Alloy Hull (90 RU)
