Altaran's very first deep-space, combat-capable GCU (General Contact Unit) is nearly complete!
We are simply waiting for the finishing touches to be added to the ship's AI - this will control the ship, and basically 'be' it.
Using technology and funding acquired from other nations, we have been able to speed the production somewhat. The ship's armaments and engine capabilites are currently classified information, but crew compliment is around 1,250, and the ship is around 1km in length.
The ship is expected to be ready within the next few (NS) months.
It has been assembled in orbit and is not capable of landing on a planet's surface, nor is it capable of entering a planet's atmosphere.
This ship will serve great research and construction use. It will help assemble the first shipyards that will build our future ships.
