Operational profile

Recognition and use

The Ares is a fourteen-hundred-ton parasite carrier built to operate twelve Triton escort boats and a protected launch within a defended system. Advanced electronics, eighteen beam lasers, twelve missile racks, twelve sandcasters, and fourteen point-defense lasers protect the carrier while its attack craft disperse.

Workshops, armories, medical support, fuel processing, and an 892.5-ton hold sustain its forty-one-person crew, embarked craft, ammunition, and stores. The carrier has no jump drive and depends on local bases or strategic transport for deployment beyond its home system.
