blurb

## Design

Gladiator-Class Carriers where gargantuan. Amongst the largest vessels in human history, whose total length and tonnage is to date known to be superseded only by the O'Neil Class Dreadnoughts and their eventual successors, the Ciriban Class Carrier. Continuing the design trend of USN it was over twice as high than it was wide. These carriers transported and sustained entire invasion forces in wartime and colonisation efforts in peacetime.

### Armaments

Though lacking any form of Kinetic weaponry the Gladiator-Class where not unarmed by any means. Touting 26 L-5 Heavy Longbow Missile Delivery Systems for both space combat and ground support, in addition to 8 Týr Nuclear Missiles. It was also peppered with M570-50mm Slim Point Defence Guns for strike craft defence. It also has 3 huge modular hangars that can be configured for housing strike craft.
