Midway class "mega-carrier" [sic]

Midway Class Fleet Carrier [2681, WCP/SO]

midway.jpg

This fleet carrier is the mainstay of the Confederation fleet in the post-war era. It houses battle commanders, and serves as a command-and-control center for strategic planning and a communications hub for the smaller ships serving in support of it. It's twice as large as previous generation carriers, and has a crew of as many as 7000 people. Its bays hold up to 250 fighters.

The Midway has formidable anti-fighter defenses but it is still a fleet carrier, not a strike carrier or dreadnought; and relies on escorts for defense.

The famed Midway-class formed the nucleus of Earth’s wartime defense, with the Midway herself at the head of the fleet. Modified and improved over the past twenty years, the current Midway-class ships differ only visually from the Confederation flagship.
