UECS Atlas

The Joint Mobile Spaceborne Ship Atlas was the personal flagship of Admiral and Oberstgruppenfuhrer Borealis Norsoutha, the premier command ship of the UECl Navy, and the first of the Atlas-class JMSS line. Designed by starship engineer Alex Faraday as a successor to the original Sovereign-class Battleship, the Atlas, at a monumental 19,000 meters in length, represented the largest traditional warship the galaxy had ever seen by the time of its completion. The Atlas bristled with more than 5,000 weapon emplacements, enough firepower to blast any planetary surface to slag in hours, and a military complement capable of annihilating any ground installation. The Atlas's presence alone, however, was enough to frighten an entire star system into submission.
Construction on the Atlas began under complete secrecy in the secluded Kepler system. By 2339, the Atlas was transferred to the Starship Yards of Tau Ceti for the final stages of construction, under the overall direction of Admiral Vassily Gorkolov. At Tau Ceti, the Atlas became the failed target of internal sabotage by a group of terrorists, who hoped to destroy the Atlas project to prevent their own decline in power. Once completed, the Atlas made for Kepler-11, site of a rebel base. The destruction of the last rebel base proved the UEC Council's expectations, ordering for the construction of 12 more Atlas-class JMSSs.
At 2349 A.D., Borealis Norsoutha - Admiral and Oberstgruppenfuhrer of the United Earth Coalition Expeditionary Army and commander-in-chief of 1st Army Group - was named commander of the Atlas. At December 15, 2355, the Atlas becomes the site of the recovery of Melnoria L. Koakshi's corpse, leading to the general DNA construction copying/cloning of Melnoria.
