Description
Darkstar class Hyperion
description:
"The Hyperion was massive, fully twice the size of a Corelli-class.
It was a Darkstar-class, so called because it was plated with darkened sensor dampening stealth alloys. Hyperion was loosely wedge-shaped, but more streamlined, like an elongated delta wing.
She bristled with more ultra-laser turrets, torpedo launchers and communications rectenae than Kane could count. And slung on her underbelly was a strange looking weapon, an energy cannon as large as a small frigate.
Hyperion had enormous hanger bays as well, over two hundred fighters, interceptors, bombers, gunships, and shuttles were efficiently packed into them. "

"The Hyperion's eight massive main engines, and sixteen smaller secondary engines came online and the massive flagship left the metal womb of the Starlight orbital shipyard. "

"The concept of a rapid launch and retrieval system was something that had been tossed around in military minds for many years, but it wasn't until recently that it had become standard on military craft, Alliance or otherwise. There were two catapults for launching everything from interceptors to drop shuttles, and a third shaft down the center of the ship that was used for retrieval of anything smaller than a freighter. The third shaft could actually be used for deployment of anthing that didn't fit into the other catapults, as well as stealth launches, since catapult driven launches were extremely visible on sensors."
