Pomneria Fast Carrier

The most odd looking and interesting technology wise of carrier craft in the UruKhar Astro-Fleets is the Pomneria. Unlike the other carriers it serves with, it is more saucer shaped with 4 arms, and has earned the nickname "Star-Fish". The Pomneria has highly advanced systems from the long gone race the UruKhar collected them from when they colonized and exploited the Darzan system. There they found many still silently in orbit, some had decayed their orbits and wreckage was on the planet below, cities in tattered ruins. The shipyards for these odd vessels were also there, and they used the found records for construction and blue-prints as we ll as engineering software to help them gain the ability to reproduce what they saw and found, (Of course this was after they deciphered the languages and the computer software. ). The UruKhar gained new ability to work out their warp engines to a scale not seen before due to this gain from the Kalduu lost civilization, the UruKhar technology leapt ahead due to Darzan.

This is not just a carrier of attack craft, but it also is loaded with weapon systems, and yet can be still comfortable enough to make it useful for service and has been highly adaptive to UruKhar materials, construction systems and modular technology adapted to the Pomneria. Gravity Management Generators, the chargeable armor, the anti-beam coatings, and the warp shields, warp drives and other systems are all top notch by UruKhar standards. These are used for recon duties as well as they have some of the most advanced sensors and tracking systems of the fleet.

The other odd feature for a carrier is the internal double circular conveyor decks, with a 3rd deck for recon and shuttle planes. the arms then open multi-part doors that allow up to six each of the fighters it carries. Usually the DWG-229 flying wing fighters. although some have been known to carry more planes using the smaller DWG-262. Odder still is the number of torpedoes, fixed point beam cannons and the under belly hyper-beam which can tear cities to shreds from above. This carrier is seen as likely to stay in the fleet for a longer time due to the flexibility it has.
