Andromeda Class Super Carrier

The Andromeda and her sisters ships fall under the umbrella term of super carriers. They are a class of super heavy warship under the Almoraien Empire, used in large scale assaults and invasions.

History
Developed by the famous star ship builder Lance Sterilson, the Andromeda class of carrier was developed to further the Almoraien Empires star naval capacity and keep its foothold as the most powerful star fairing armada the galaxy has ever seen. Due in large part from demands of both High Command and the High Council Senate, the carriers were made with the purpose of being able to be deployed to any star system and have a large enough compliment of supplies, vehicles and troops to be able to make a big enough presence to ward off anyone daring to face off against the Empires might.

Built to drawf even the capital carriers at the time, they were designed to be larger, faster and more heavily armed then any other vessel in the Imperial Navy. They were also made to be able to carry a very large compliment of troops and weaponry to be deployed planetside. The size of such a compliment would be equivalent to a field army.

In the year 970 A.C. The first ship in the series, Andromeda was laid down and construction was completed on 981 A.C. Two other ships of the same class, The Apocalypse and Armageddon which were laid down only 2 years after the Andromeda. It was also around this time that plans were being made for an even larger warship, The Valkyrion which wouldn't be completed until the year 1005 A.C.

Design
The Andromeda was an incredibly large star ship, even by the standards of Imperium. They were able to carry multiple super rail cannons, heavy plasma cannons and other weaponry to defend themselves from attackers. They were also outfitted with large hanger bays able to hold thousands of spacecraft and even Frigates. The primary purpose of the ships were to be able to jump into deep space and provide support for various military operations such as planetary defense and invasions.
