The Rimes
The Rimes Fleet Carrier was originally designed to provide space superiority
through the 120 starfighters it carries. Only one ship of this class was
ever commissioned and was dubbed the Rimes. The Rimes serves as one of the
Palvar Defense Forces' top warships and usually accompanies the PDF flagship,
the Blood of Kashan, into combat.
The ship itself looks like a giant metal box. The bridge is a large extension
coming off of the top front section of the main hull. The entire aft end of
the vessel is devoted to the massive, yet underpowered, Setec ion engine
arrays that propel the ship through the void of space. The main fighter
launch bays are on the ventral side of the ship while the other landing bays
for shuttles and transports are located on either side of it.
