Description A headcanon design the Fearless fills the gap the SLDF had in its organisation prior to the advent of the Potempkin class.  They had no large ships that carried large numbers of dropships for major troop movement and would have to rely on jumpships which are far slower and far far far more vulnerable to attack.  The Fearless design is based on the obsolete Monsoon class Battleship and carries 14 dropships (with two usually being assault ships for escort duties) and is armed to defend herself against hostile warships.

Smaller and cheaper than the late Potemkin she was always an intemediary design and suffered from overstressed reactors that saw the ships being mothballed when not in use as they were considered drydock queens.

Okay this one I like. And it has a proud name.
The Captain's name wouldn't be Harrington by any chance would it? 😎

The final version has been altered slightly as we realised that her dropship collars would be MADLY crowded so the final one won't be so crowded up top (and on her belly where the layout is repeated),

Neat! And quick thinking too, I might add!
