Dominance-class Supercarrier
Standalone - Capital Ship - Supercarrier
The Dominance-class Super Carrier is a huge fleet carrier of over 12 km length. It was built in collaboration between the Corellian Empire and the ESS. Designed and constructed shortly after the foundation of the ESS. Adopting the design traits of classical imperial ships like the old Vengeance- and Venator-class while incorporated with high-end ESS weapons and shield technology.
Unlike other dreadnoughts and battlecruisers of this size, the Dominance's main role is a lot less offensive. Instead the ship's main purpose is to act as a mass carrier and mobile shipyard/repair yard. For this purpose a quarter of the ship's forward hull is made up of hangars and production facilities that can hold and maintain capital ships of up to cruiser size. To defend itself and any docked ships, the Dominance relies on a powerful and near-impenetrable energy shield, which was developed using salvaged Dhilani shielding technology, as has been done on various other ESS vessels.
In addition the Dominance is equipped with the new omega array technology to augment the firepower of its normal weapons and allow for preemptive long range strikes at attacking vessels.

HD Remake
Of all my remake this may arguably see the most noticable changes regarding its overall shape. The idea here is to make it more distinguishable from the Sovereign-class Battlecruiser, while still stating that they both started from common ground. As such, I'll be removing the "wings" as well as the extended rear fins (marked red on the image), which not only cuts a fair bit from ship's total length, making it just over 7 miles, but also confers a far more grounded and utilitarian impression.
Other than that, along with the usual detail upgrades, I intend to revisit the forward hangar section, which I consider way too exposed and a structural weakness. Therefore I'm redesigning that section, reinforcing it and closing parts of it up for better protection. The large opening will still be there but it will be closed towards the front giving the ship a more traditional bow shape.
WIth its new slightly widened bow and the already existing gaps towards the back, it bears slight resemblence to the Republic Venator-class, further emphasizing that this is a carrier, not a battlecruiser.
