Description

Olympus Capitol Carrier MK.2:

 

Overview: The Olympus MK.2 had one of the biggest overhauls of the Capitol fleet. Undergoing an extensive refit to accommodate an experimental drone system, this drone system pilots and controls the 50k odd attack craft which the Olympus now carries. The entire crew is there for maintenance or command and control and while the system has its faults and drones drop out or fail the system can engage and destroy enemies with overwhelming numbers at long ranges.

 

Armament: The Olympus is equipped and built around a single Tachyon Arrow, it also mounts 10 dual heavy railguns for engaging enemy ships. It also mounts 35 light railguns for additional armament.

 

Railguns: taken from Union specifications while not as advanced as the Unions Mass Drivers Capitols new railgun technology is vastly superior to their old rocket propelled cannons. Now they can engage enemies at speed and while still not dealing massive amounts of damage per shot Capitol have managed to increase their ROF to around 450 shots per minute. This results in the rails being changed after every engagement but also a serious boost in firepower.

Defences: The Olympus mounts around 4ft of Azanium armour plating.  This new type of armour was developed with the help of Triarch Industries and is now able to take much more damage from both kinetic and energy weapons than the previous armour. The Olympus as well is protected by a pair of medium shield generators capable to taking many direct hits each before they need to recharge again. Capitols new shield technology allows them to partially absorb around 11% of an enemy energy weapon shot and use it to charge the ships Tachyon Arrows if it has any.

 

Power plant: The Olympus runs on two Cold Nuclear Fusion reactors for energy, this system was reverse engineered at a remote location using Union schematics however, they were produced before Inaras rise to power but due to the actions of Sabre team the project was massively set back when the base was destroyed. However with these new reactors the ships can have more space for ammunition, rather than 8 reactors the Olympus now only has two.

 

Electronic capabilities: The Olympus is run by an advanced experimental computer system able to command and control the 50k attack craft it launches, though there can be errors and drop outs causing the drones to go offline or crash the crew try their best to compensate. While the drones operate in very basic and predictable formats and formations 50k drones is a serious threat.

 

Crew: The Olympus has a crew of 2000 men. All of which are human. Around 80 are commissars.

 

Attack craft: the Olympus mounts two stacked centre lined hangar bays which together hold the 50k attack craft of 40,000 drone sabre interceptors and 10,000 Phalanx bombers, each can however be piloted if needed.

 

Speed and engines: the Olympus is equipped with a Gravitic drive and can reach speeds of up to 0.65 Light speed meaning it is a fast carrier. This is where it excels at evading enemy formations and delivering the drones into the enemy

I like the style of these ships, they kind of remind me of the chaos ships from bfg!
