Kekada-class Carrier

The Kekada-class carrier is the first and only collaborative design between Groush & Balg Tribals and Golbersson Starforge.

Prior to the Kekada, both the Gor Adukk Ma and the UPS had invested very little into fighters and other strike craft. At the same time, pirate fleets with complex orbital bases had come to reside in the Uzriu system, deterring trade between the two sectors. The final straw was the influx of halfling outlaws from the Kristaway sector, whose custom racing ships had been de-registered from the SCO for being "not spaceworthy".

With a sudden windfall of talented halfling pilots and a pressing need to support wings of strike craft capable of exploiting orbital stations weakpoints, the two governments offered a joint commission for the creation of a carrier ship.

Kekada-class carriers have 16 hangers for fighter wings, along with two docking bays capable of holding corvettes. These hangers are recessed beneath dense dorsal and ventral armored hulls and reinforced with reinforcing buttresses that can enclose frigates into mobile spacedocks for repair and refueling.
