Design Specifications - This vessel can be fitted with different configurations as needed.
Main role = Fleet Carrier,
Secondary Role = Assault Carrier.
Many New Chiss inovations have gone into the design of this vessel. Much of the Systems and operations procedures will require additional training which will be administered By qualified Chiss personnel at the Tabannopolis Research Center. Many of the new systems are currently being tested By the Chiss and there stats can not be released at this time. More data will be released once the Inrokini family Phalanx has cleared the data.

The need for fighter protection is the foremost problem of any carrier. The massive amounts of internal space used for hangers and ordinance storage leave little room for armor. This makes the Carrier a favorite target of fighter commanders. As a defense measure Chiss Scientists and the Inrokini Phalanx have developed the Ionic Scatter Charge.

This weapon works much like the Ionic Flak cannon but yelds a wider dispersion projectile. It has a effective range of 500 Meters where the Launched cannister explodes via a shaped charge. The canister does 2 things. It creates a ionic barrier behind it which repels ions then explodes releasing smaller Ionic discharge pods. These pods fire from a shaped charge which scatters them all away from the ionic barrier then each pod explodes releasing a massive electrical charge. Multiple Launchers can create a ionic shield effect which canopies the vessel in a ionic storm disabling any fighter inside the charge canopy. Duration of the canopy is approximately 4 minutes and 37 seconds. decreasing in strength through out the time period. The launcher is approximately the size of 2 Quad Lasers and launchers 4 canisters.

These Weapons are not really new technology just a new twist on something old. Chiss Scientist are developing a new series of active mines. These mines will have varied purposes and effects. To deliver them The Inrokini Phalanx has developed the Velocity Mine Launcher. This works more like a Projectile launcher then a Mine Layer. It uses a magnetic field to propel the mines at a target.

The VML X1 as it will be called will act as a deterrent for strafing attacks on vessels equipped with it.

Coping with the lack of power provided by the standard Fusion , fission, Ionic, and Proton Reactors The Chiss began Developing new Reactor systems. Many were tested and many worked. After long consideration and a series of field tests the Matter/anti-matter reactor performed at a acceptional level supplying more them 70 percent the power and costing far less to produce then the singularity drives. The Design Team and the Inroniki House spent the better part of 10 years working on the technology and have perfected it to Chiss standards. The reactor works by combining matter with anti-,matter and channeling the power generated by the reaction. The LDR 220 is the 18th generation of such reactor. until this point they had been used only as test vessels and in small experimental craft. Specifications are still classified on the design but the reactor has been released to Lash Research and Designs for use in the Crossfire Carrier.

This defensive system encompasses the latest in electronic and physical countermeasures. Housed in a pod much like a battery the Eclipse Pods can be installed at multiple locations along he vessel to allow for faster and more affective response.

Each Eclipse Pod houses 4 decoy droids, 8 Chaff launchers, 4 Flare Launchers, ECM array, Series 6 Communications Jammer, and one sabot Anti Projectile Cannon.

This system is made to work in tandem with the newest series of Chiss defensive weapons. A smaller version is being researched at this time for deployment on fighter craft.

All fighters are of TIE series. Bays will be designed to fit Tie Defender II series.

Snub fighters or designs not revolving around a tie design are too bulky and will decreases the amount of craft carried. Hanger space is dependant on fighters less then 12 Meters in length which can be mounted on a Tie Rack System.

Optional fighter deployment can be worked but the loss of fighter support craft would Be negligible.

Forward Bay housing Monitors can be refitted to house larger non Tie Based fighter types.

The remaining technology on the vessel has been researched and at this point is classified. Construction of the first of 4 units built for the Sov will begin tomorrow.

They will be constructed at Lash Research and Designs facilities on Tabanopolis. running 10 days per ship all 4 will be complete within 40 to 42 days.

Completion Dates are as follows

5/14 Crossfire
5/24 Horus
6/3 Morset
6/13 Persistant

Agreement will be fofilled after 4th vessel and No others will be constructed.

I will be taking over the testing on the Chiss Vessel. All vessels will form a special Taskforce under my direct control. The Chiss Will offer techincal support and training untill such a time as My personnel have mastered the new systems. Commodore Galt will be present for the first tests and the shakedown cruise of the Crossfire. I am working on orders directlly from Grand Admiral Desaria and Grand Syndic Lash.
