The Olympus-class battleship is a Federation battleship designed to carry an Aurora Unit and act as a flagship for Federation Fleets. They carry superior weapons systems due to space gained from having an Aurora unit onboard, as well as many Stiletto-class fighters and Aries-class transport vessels, and are able to dock with smaller escort frigates. They contain at least five docking bays capable of accomodating ships up to the size of an Aries-class transport, and launch fighters out of them from conveyor belts that run through the ship. They are powered by Fuel Gel.
Logbook Entry
The Olympus-class battleship is the first Federation capital ship designed to use an onboard Aurora Unit. They are the flagships of the fleets they serve in, usually commanded by an officer of flag rank. Battleships of this class have smaller crews than most ships of a similar size due to the presence of the Aurora Unit. The space saved in crew support is used for more battle systems. The enormous vessels are powered by Fuel Gel, making the scarce commodity of extreme value to the Federation military.
