Ascension-class Carrier

The Ascension is a heavy cruiser and carrier, sporting extensive weaponry and sufficient hangar space to host a multitude of starfighters, bombers and transports.

This battlecruiser has been the first UPMF-commissioned warship after almost two decades of stagnation following the fall of the UPA and their inclusion into the ESS. Granting the UPA their individual traits and designs the ESS leadership provided the resources and technical know-how in order to upgrade the slightly worn UPMF fleet. Looking back on the success of both the Warrior- and Phoenix-class UPMF cruisers, R&D under junior chief designer Cay Montarin developed a heavy cruiser/carrier design which bridges the gap between the two.

 Its size and power along with state-of-the-art technology make the Ascension a formidable warship capable of standing its ground within a quickly growing galaxy.
