The SSV Einstein over Mars.

In 2148, a prospecting team on Mars led by Mateus Silva began exploring near the Deseado Crater, and found a subterranean Prothean ruin . The ruins contained a malfunctioning mass effect core and several withered starships, as well as refined element zero. After a global effort, the information remaining in the ruins' computers was translated, identifying the structure as a former observation and biosciences station, set up to receive and process data from Earth as the Protheans studied Cro-Magnon humans.

The motives and conclusions of the Prothean observers remained unknown, but the ruins' data cache, though fragmented, accelerated human sciences by roughly two hundred years. It paved the way for the development of FTL drives and, later, mass effect field technology.

Some of the refined element zero in the ruins, however, fell into less responsible hands. Criminal triads on Mars used it to create red sand, a stimulant with biotic-enhancing properties. The drug may have taken its name from Mars' distinctive colouring and arid surface.

Within just two months, a terrorist community of red sand addicts formed on Mars, claiming the Prothean ruins and later even Mars itself. The Triad had a steady flow of fresh "soldiers" to draw from as the Red Sand spread to Earth and the Colonies as well. Ongoing biotic attacks on the research facility surrounding the Prothean ruins prompted the Systems Alliance military to station their newest carrier ship, the Einstein Class Prototype, permanently on Mars. As a mobile command station, the task forces of the SSV Einstein managed to put a stop to the triad and restore peace on the planet.

Class Info:

The 940 meter long Einstein class is the oldest Carrier type in active service of the Alliance military.
It is built in 2149, eight years before the First Contact War with the Turians. Like the Everest class Dreadnought , only three of them were ever built. The SSV Einstein, the SSV Hawking and the SSV Davis.
Systems Alliance Carriers are typically named after Pioneers, Scientists and Trailblazer, people who had a impact on humanity.

The Einstein class is a mobile Base and act as packhorse for the new human colonies and outposts which are etablished quickly after the discovery of the Charon Mass Relay. Her superior cargo capacity makes her a excellente transport ship for founding new colonies. To that time the ship doesnt have much military purpose, because there are no rival for the Systems Alliance beside a short period where the Einstein was stationed on Mars to fight a terrorist group called "Red Sand".
The Einstein class is a typical aircraft carrier with a hullsize hangarbay wich is with 800 m nearly the size of the ship itself. She carries several hundred Starfighter, Shuttles, Dropships, Tanks and armored vehicles as main armament. Her own weapons consist only of 8 Twin Hypervelocity-Railguns (mid Range) to guard the entry lanes of the Hangardecks and a dozen of GARDIAN Laser (low Range) to deflect enemy rockets or Intercept Fighters. The Carrier alone is typically no match for ships bigger than a Destroyer, so it need constant protection from Frigates and Cruisers.
It has a adequate armor for a ship of this size, but Mass Effect fields and shields are outdated. Thats why the Einstein class will replaced with the Tereshkova class Carrier soon.
