Houshou-class Spacecraft Carrier

The Houshou class Spacecraft Carrier are redesigned refits versions of the original Hermes class Spacecraft Carrier by the RISG. Featuring a rotating boom to launch its complement of six craft, it was built along the same lines as the Northampton class Frigate, and were actually utilized to help beef up the CAP of the late RISG and early UKLIN task forces.

As more successful designs utilizing more conventional electromagnetic launch systems were introduced into service, the Houshou class were reclassified as 'Light Spacecraft Carriers', and the 46 ship class is now often seen as an augmentation to or being the sole defense of convoys and exploration teams.

Apart from its organic squadron of six VF-30 Chronos Space Superiority Variable Fighters, its main mode of defense and offense is a tri-barreled short-range beam gun and 10 5cm Rapid Fire Pulse Laser Arrays.
