FCR Independence Class Carrier

In the post-war years, the Free Citizens' Republic laid down a number of carriers of different displacements to replace losses incured during the Revolution. In accordance to the Naval Treaty of March 2178, carriers were limited to 30,000 tons.

The FCRS Independence (CV-61) was the first of the new Independence class fleet carriers to be built from the ground up to be the backbone of the FCR Navy's taskforces all the while meeting the limits imposed by the Naval Treaty.

The Independence is capable of launching 10 FAS-20 Sioux fighters, 8 B-111 Mohawk Bombers, 4 V-130 Cherokee dropships and a number of ground and utility vehicles at once.

One of the key feature of the Independence class is its formidable anti-air defenses. The center piece is a pair of enormous "Sentinel" 50mm Autocannon turrets. These can spit out a ludicrous volume of fire in a 360 degree arc around the carrier. The individual shells are quite capable of shredding destroyers, let alone fighters.

The carrier is also armed with anti ship weapons such as a spinal mounted railgun battery, accessible at any helm console or directly from the captain's chair, as well as a limited number of large caliber turrets.

Because of treaty obligations, the ship isn't as well armored and as such has concentrated most of its armour around key areas. In contrast, it is extremely well shielded.

The FCR Navy plan to deploy more of these ships as tension with Earth, the Terran Consortium and the Vorat continue to mount.
