OOC: Seeing as I have over fifty renders, and lots of stats, I made myself a promise, which involved releasing no ship without an RP to go with it, so I'm not just wasting bandwidth.
sIC:
"My lord. The architects have completed the designs, and have been summarily mind-wiped. The fifty-thousand engineers you requested have been brought to the moon of Tyadora, and construction is beginning. The resources you seek are being brought in every day, and-"
The man standing with his back to the speaker waved his hand impatiently, and cut the speaker off "I know, fool. Tell me, what of the security cruisers. What of the Republic. If they knew of our plans to construct a superior carrier, designed perfectly for incursion into their space, they would not tolerate it."
The speaker, his face trickling with sweat, drew in an unsteady breath, and continued. "We have killed all who intruded, and put a permanent jammer system over the planet. Fifteen cruisers await on standby, at all times."
The man turned around, and, for the first time, the speaker saw the horrific burns inflicted upon his once-handsome face, and the jagged scars, running all across his body. His voice rasped slightly as he spoke, but the Exarch Emperor cared little for p
hysical pain, as he had traded his soul for power, and power was what he had.
He looked, looked deep into the eyes of the speaker, whos face had begun to trickle liberally with sweat, and smiled. It was not a smile which you would wish to have directed at you. It was instead, a smile, that spoke volumes about the terrible, unending agony about to be inflicted upon you...
The messenger screamed. He screamed, and screamed, until his voice could scream no more, and he quivered, as the Exarch Emperor's face broke into a evil grin, and then, in to a loud, evil-sounding series of cruel laughter...

The Exarch Emperor turned on his chair, mentally activating a hologram, which changed into a picture, of a ship, and statistics underneath.

- The Dark Exarch Carrier, currently being constructed on the moon of Tyadora. Information is restricted, and if you do not match both retina/DNA/psyche scan, you will be terminated upon the reading of this word.
The Dark Exarch is a craft, a simple one, however, not a defensive one. As carriers are traditionally either cruisers with fighter bays, or fighter bays with engines and weapons, the Dark Exarch breaks tradition, slightly, and is being constructed with a long campaign in mind. It is essentially a cross between a set of fighter bays, and a dreadnought.
- Weaponry
Scion Blaster Cannon - The SCB, as it is termed, is a huge, power-consuming anti-capital-ship cannon, with little room for aiming, but, it is incredibly powerful. Used for both burning through armour and shields, it can devastate a frigate with a single shot, but has a long reload time. This cannon is situated on the top of the carrier, as underneath would be impractical.
Yavon Focus Gun - The YFG is a twin, linked set of anti-frigate cannons, which have both rapid fire and power on their side, however, they lack accuracy. This is the second of the anti-capital guns aboard the Dark Exarch, as more would be impractical for long campaigns.
Hirri Pulse Turret - Seven-hundred and thirty of these cannons are spaced out around the hull, however, they are too dimunitive to be shown on the render, and are so simply not shown. These serve as anti-fighter weaponry, with high accuracy, yet low power.
Energy Torpedo Battery - A single one of these resides on the carrier, designed exclusively for destroying huge ships such as dreadnoughts. The 'energy torpedoes', are almost twelve metres wide by fifty metres long, and are huge globules of energy, which, upon being fired, home in on the largest concentration of enemy shields, in order to disable them.
Defensive Armoury
The Dark Exarch carries four hundred seperate, minor shield generators, and seven large ones. The armour is not particulary thick, as most of it is used for carrying the nearly-absurd amount of fighters and gunships which will be housed within. The observation deck above is essentially for direction of the repairs to be done, on the multiple exterior repair decks.
Miscellaneous
The carrier has a main fighter bay, inside, where the huge dock doors are, which contains the gunships, and frigates. (Six frigates are contined within)
Where the front of the engine rectangular prism is housed, there is an interceptor/fighter bay. In front of both of these, there are ionic accelerators, getting the fighter to the combat within seconds, as it can house over twenty fighters at a time, or thirty-five interceptors.
Fighter Bay Numbers:
Main:
12 Frigates (4 Support, 6 Light, 2 Heavy)
435 Gunships
Secondary:
2200 Interceptors
1350 Fighters
(Note: Numbers are based on the Realm size average, and so may vary, depending on the size of craft.)
Exarch Emperor Thyreaoth smiled. It may be almost twenty-seven years until his creation was complete, but he had patience, and such a powerful craft would more than make up for any compensation he had to pay, as an inconvieniece...
