Information:

The Victoria-class Carrier is an enlarged and upgraded variant of (CLASSIFIED) and Thessia-class Cruiser, which themselves are an upgrade of the Nerpa-class Battlecruiser. The Victoria-class itself was the most ambitious project of Svyok Design Bureau and the Thyserians; the Victoria-class exceeded the glass ceiling of ship lengths, setting the record at 1790m, making the class the largest vessels ever to operate. The Victoria could rightfully be called a battlecarrier, and it's been dubbed so by some members of the public. The class carries 200 fighters, up to 8 Gunships, and yet packs firepower that will make any vessel or fighter-bomber think about getting near it. Blistering CIWS-Flak batteries and GARDIAN clusters ensure the ship's protection from many threats. Truly, the Victoria-class is a flagship Thyserians can be proud of and the envy of ship designers everywhere.

Made for extended deployments, the vessel is designed with water-purification, long term food storage, and fabrication in mind. Munitions can be produced within the ship's armory. General fabrication capabilities are also available, allowing for repairs of the ship and its various fighters and shuttles. Given the proper materials, the fab shop can even build fighters. The flight pods are also large enough that certain classes of Corvettes and Frigates could land within the Carrier and have access to the ship via the hangar bay.

The Krogan Empire also acquired the Victoria-class in a limited number as a stopgap measure until the introduction of their Krantt-class Carrier. Though they're currently the largest operator of these vessels compared to only 4 being operated by the Thyserian Royal Navy.

Naming Conventions: Typical of the Thyserian Navy, the Victoria-class Carriers are named by their first captains.
