Star Carrier

The Star Carrier  is a  fictional flying  aircraft carrier specifically designed to be capable of independent powered flight in addition to the conventional functions of aircraft carriers. It is the signature  capital ship of the fictional intelligence/defense agency ., usually shown in Maveric Comics-published  comic book magazines. Originally designed by, the Star Carrier concept has survived multiple redesigns whilst rarely straying from its originally depicted role as a mobile headquarters until recent years

Its altitude theoretically renders it invulnerable to attack, but the Mysterons are always looking for ways to penetrate its defences. Because of its altitude, the entire structure is pressurised; pilots entering or leaving aircraft on the flight deck do so inside airtight capsules. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">==Characteristics==

There appeared to be several hangars on the Galactic-class, with the forward-port-flange starfighter hangar housing four and a half squadrons and being the size of a sports arena.

Moreover, the first ship of the class was called the [[Dodonna (Battle carrier], after [[Alliance to Restore the Republic|

Dozens of jet fighters and passenger planes can be supported in the vessel's hangars, and it staffs hundreds of crewmen. The vessel is also equipped with a variety of long-range ballistics, transporter technologies, escape pods, detainment cells, and weapons lockers.It was heavily armored, equipped for trans-continental flights, armed with energy shields and cannons, and tracking equipment.This carrier features an enormous flight squad, anti-superhuman weaponry including autocannons, Cape-Killer squads, 38 heavy-assault drones armed with tank-killing armaments, a "contingency omega" missile and 75 high-risk LMD "Red Eyes" combat pilots. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Rooms onboard Star Carrier include:

Each flight pod comprises two main decks for flight operations: the upper landing bay, which extends the full length of the pod, and the lower launch bays, which provide some 40 launch tubes per pod. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Landing approaches are made from the stern.
