((OOC: Sry i hand drew the pic, its pretty crap lol))

The Epsilon project was put into theory over a decade ago, with the release of the Gallo Light carrier but with the release of the light carrier the navy wanted a bigger more able carrier to use in their main battle fleet.

Designs were drawn up, sent out, thrown back again and again till two projects caught the navy's eye. The Omega Multi-role Carrier and The Epsilon Mainfleet Battle Carrier. The Reason why the Epsilon was chosen was because the expense that the Omega project would of cost the Payian Navy. Though the Epsilon would cost alot of money to build anyway this would of been able to be laucnhed quicker than the Omega, bring the Navy out of the dark and into the light was starting to become a realistic view.

The Epsilon would take two years(NS years) to build so construct start straight away, the date for the launch of the Epsilon Carrier is coming soon and then the Payal Navy will have the startings of a Mainbattle fleet that can contend with other nations if push comes to shove, With the epsilon being over double the size of the Gallo carrier it is able to carrier more aircraft and helicopters. From the old Gallo to the new epsilon the Su-27 Flanker and MiG-29 Fulcrum will have a new home aboard both carriers but with more room and numbers on the Epsilon, the helicopters will move aswel but the Littlebird numbers will remain the same but the Merlon will increase by one.

This is the Payian News at 10, with Simon Heel and Sophia Jackson.

"Hello I'm Simon Heel" "and Im Sophia Jackson"

"We have some military news for you today, it is finally ready. Yes the day the navy has been waiting for, two years of construction has lead to this day that will go down in history."

"Yes Simon, the epsilon project is finally being launched today from Naval docks at Fort Haya, we will go live to our reporter in the field. Ron Stone"

....

"Thank you Sophia, yes as you can see behind me the carrier is ready to unvailed to the world and the oceans, there is a large ammount of military here after the incedent with the colomba. The Commander in cheif is about to speak...."

"Hello fellow Payians from citizens to the media, today we are about the release the monster of the sea into its home where it will serve as our guardian from terror, tyranny and oppression.

She has been named "Signora del mare" which stands for Lady of the sea, she is our largest vessel to have been launched from this docks in the past decade and will gain the title of Flagship." The Commander in cheif got a bottle a smashed it against the ship "Rule the waves my dear"

The Carrier went into the ocean with her crew aboard her, setting sail into the deep blue sea
