Monolith-class Escort Carrier

The Monolith-class Escort Carrier is a class of escort carriers currently operated by the Arkanian Imperial Navy and developed by its predecessor, the Arkanian Republic Navy. The Monolith-class is smaller and features forward-facing hangar bays, differing from its counterpart, the Chandrila-class Carrier which has hangars on its sides. The Monolith-class can also be modified to become a transport ship, which has been done with a few vessels, used to transport materials from Arkanian mining planets to Arkanian colonies and cities to fuel Project Rejuvenate.
