Description

The Vengeance is the largest dedicated fighter-carrier DropShip in use by the Successor States. While being an areodyne this dropship isn't capable of atmospheric operations. Fighters are deployed through 8 launch decks at forward end and one large recovery deck at aft part of the ship. Because of this ship is forced to shut down the engines while fighter recovery processed, as engine thrust could easily destroy any incoming fighters. Most of these precious ships serve under Successor States flags, however a few can be found in mercenary units.

Cargo

Vengeance has 47 small decks placed vertically to ship plane (so it's nose is always up), while in central part there's located large docking bay where 40 fighters and 3 support crafts are stored.

Variants

• Kallon Industries attempted to refit Vengeance-class in order to improve it's weaponry. The PPCs were first upgraded to ER PPCs and the missile systems equipped with Artemis IV. The Large Lasers were were also upgraded to ER Large Laser and a Gauss Rifle built into the nose of the vessel. Further 22 heat sinks were added to make up for the increased heat generated, and fuel and cargo space was cut to make up for the upgrades.

Notes

May not operate in the atmosphere.
