This design is classed as a Military Vessel for maintenance purposes
--- Built by Behemoth Shipworks on Sidon and grossing 750,000 Tonnes (
), the
Millennium-Class Jump Ship is the largest vessel in the Fleet Arm by a long margin. The class boasts but one ship, the Confederate Service Ship (C.S.S.)
Millenium. The class was named after it's intended mission; that being to transport one thousand colonists one thousand times over in just one trip. The
Millennium-Class carriages 10
Rimward-Class Cryo Trays allowing it to fit a whopping 1,000,000 brave Sidonians into it's cavernous belly.
--- As for design specs; the C.S.S.
Millennium utilizes a revolutionary Artificial Gravity System which affords it's crew a ride so stable, one would think it was a floating continent. A spacious Bridge (Five Modules, or 250 Tonnes worth) take advantage of this, as well as the
Millennium's 8 Troop Transport Bays. Crew Berths include nominal recreational facilities; the extent of which include a cafe area, mini-park replete with benches, artificial grass, a fountain and so much more; among other amenities. Her Bridge incorporates dedicated positions for the command, control and communication aspects of her 3 on-board Marine Battalions as well as her single Construction Brigade. Although the
Millennium-Class' accommodations could be seen as... excessive, the ship's tonnage is otherwise fully allocated to it's engines, their fuel, the massive 300,000 Tonne Hangar Deck which serves as it's mission tonnage, and space for the Fleet Arm's Engineering Corps to keep all of it Space-Worthy (aka
NOT full o' holes).
--- The
Millennium-Class is propelled to a not insignificant maximum speed of 2,500 km/s by a set of 75 Stardrive Hyper-Efficiency Drives, while a basic, General Purpose Class 750000 Jump Drive is used to hurtle it through the temporal butt holes which serve as the universe's very own highway system. 25,000,000 litres of Naval-Grade Sorium-enriched fuel give it roughly a year and half's worth of flight as well as serving to power the ship's six basic Naval Defensive Energy Shield Systems. With a year and three quarters worth of Life Support provisions this gives the
Millennium-Class the ability to go just about anywhere with confidence.
--- Now the hull of a
Millennium is built using three layers of Duranium-based Ceramic Composite Armor and engineered according to a proprietary composite pattern which utilizes the craft's Ceramic Composite Armor in the form of a monocoque shell for the base of construction. A structural system is then integrated into the armored shell before being reinforced with another layer of the armor. This composite structure forms the full "hull" and is by itself sufficient for operations; it is at this point that the vessel is built out with crew, life support, engines and the like before the third and final layer of Ceramic Composite Armor is applied to the outside of the ship.
