OOC-I am doing this as an RP, not nesceserily private if you can find a way into it?

IC-


Sir, if you would come with me we can began the journey towards the Inecept?

Commanding Officer John Freeman spun his chair away from the command board and stood to face his PA. The two assistants who had been in the room with the CO stood to attention and saluted firmly as Freeman walked through the metal doorway. They followed, and the door slid shut with a pneumatic hiss. The PA led the threesome through corridors and past windows on the universe before they finnaly reached a sqaure room and stopped. Freeman stepped forward and pulled his pilots lisence (sp?) from its elasticated cord and inserted it into a raised keypad.
Good Evening Commander Freeman, Pilot number 543245 A. Please enter your 4 digit code now...
Chimed the keypad through its sleak speakers.
Freeman lent forward and tapped in a 4 digit code on it, then he returned to his pose and watched as the yellow barrier which surrounded the area ahead of them lowered at a point and what had seemed to be the floor slid in two halfs across to either side. A platform rose to fill the void, with perfect synchronisation, which they stepped on. The yellow barrier rose again and the lift descended into the darkness. Within 10 seconds they emerged on the flight deck amongst thousands of fighter ships, and hundreds more bombers. A yellow electric truck rolled up and they stepped onboard as it zipped away, taking them directly to a GTF Persues ship. The service was so good that the truck actually rose up to the door of the ship allowing the group in.

GTI Arcadia
http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/techfs/ships/Arcadia.jpg

The largest instalation in the fleet, manned by 75 thousand men and women. It carries three fighter bays, each capable of holding 250 fighters, or 175 bombers. The secondary bay is reserved to hold one destroyer class vessel, and in the past has contained the GTD Hades during its repair after the Great War. The firepower of the Arcadia is substancial, with 19 general turrets, used for attacking any vessel in the vacinity of the Arcadia. A further 5 Fighter-Killer turrets are located on the back of the Arcadia, used in close combat with fast fighters. The Arcadia doesnt have a missile bank to defend itself with, although it does have the capability to launch 3 Messon Bombs.

GTD Hecate

Two Hecate class destroyers support the Arcadia instalation, providing a powerfull arsenal of firepower to deter an attack. The two units carry 2 Heavy flak turrets, simply to damage and destroy large enemy vessels, such as Corvettes.
