Description
Space: Above & Beyond
United States Aerospace Force Carrier
Aero-Tech Design Project 2815

Prometheus Class

USAFS Prometheus SCVN-2815 (Trials)
USAFS Daedalus SCVN-2816 (Building)

Length - 459.24 meters

Helium 3 Fusion Engine
Chemical Rocket Engine
Bussard Ramjet

450 MW Laser Pulse Cannons (LPC) - 2 (One Turrets of Two)
300 MW Laser Pulse Cannons (LPC) - 10 (Five Turrets of Two)
50 MW Laser Pulse Cannons (LPC) - 13 (Thirteen Turrets of One)
40mm Kinetic AA Gatling Railguns - 84 (Forty-Two Turrets of Two; Twenty-One to Port/Starboard)
Phalanx II Missile Launcher - 30 (Two Turrets of Fifteen Tubes)
AA Missile Launcher - 84 (Four Turrets of Twenty-One Tubes)
Anti-Ship Missile Launcher - 128 (Sixty-Four to Port/Starboard in static Six Silo Cells mounted along ventral hull)
Anti-Aerospace Missile Launcher - 32 (Thirty-Two in static Four Silo Cells mounted along dorsal midships)

While the Navy is institutionally comfortable with engaging in straight-up ship-to-ship fights, when the Air Force first began lobbying for their own space carriers to operate with the rest of the IFOR fleet, they began developing a doctrine that viewed their ships as more a 'mobile base', capable of defending themselves, but not normally meant to tangle with enemy capital ships directly.

Based upon the Saratoga blueprints created by Geoffrey Mandel and Bernard Hides. [link] [link]

Some features inspirated by the USS Saratoga Refit [link] by *Jon-Michael-May [link]
