Vessel Info

Main article: [[Firefox-class Carrier|Firefox-class Carrier]]

Dimensions

The Firefox-class shares a hull configuration with the smaller Gladiator-class, save scaled up by nearly two-thirds. The large bridge tower houses the majority of the ships systems, leaving a large portion of the main hull devoted to supporting starfighter operations. The Firefox is characterized by the large central hangar opening in the bow that bisects the main hull. Unlike other Star Destroyer designs, the hangar is located directly forward to facilitate the deployment of starfighters directly into combat quickly. Also, unlike the hangars on other destroyer designs, the Firefox-class has a system of large blast doors that can fully secure the hangar deck to space.

Unlike most Star Destroyers, the Firefox-class has a large fighter command center located at the forward dorsal position on the command tower. This large command and control deck houses the position normally dedicated to the bridge on other designs. The Firefox bridge on the other hand is located above and slightly aft of the starfighter command center on the command tower.

Offensive and Defensive Systems

Unlike the Imperial Escort Carrier, the Firefox-class is a capable capital ship and not merely a platform for the launch and operation of starfighters. Armed with heavy turbolasers for use against larger capital ships and smaller weapons for use against smaller targets, the Firefox is able to engage other ships directly. Its armament is light for a ship of its size class, however, and so the Firefox is usually outclassed when engaging vessels of similar size one on one.

To combat this, the Firefox-class has engines far larger then any other ship in its class, allowing it to disengage from combat if necessary. Taken from the far larger Imperial-class, a pair of Destroyer-I ion engines provide the engine power for the vessel. This gives the Firefox-class very high sublight speeds, outclassed only by the Carrack-class light cruiser. The larger engines also give the class a very high power to weight ratio, affording acceleration unmatched by other large capital starships. The flexibility of speed affords the Firefox design the ability to catch those enemy vessels that can be defeated while running from those that cannot.

In addition to the standard loadout, the Final Way has been retrofitted with 4 long-range Turbolasers.

Complement

The main weapon of the Firefox carrier come in the form of the 144 starfighters carried in its hangar. A flight deck that extends well back from the ship’s bow allows those fighters to be launched in quick succession, with starfighters being staged along the main deck and able to launch to space as soon as those ahead of them have exited the bay. The Firefox-class also has extensive support facilities for starfighter maintenance and repair.

Unlike most other large capital starships, the Firefox-class only carries the bare minimum of embarked troops. These forces are limited to a contingent of trained marines to resist any possible boarding actions. As a consequence, the Firefox only supports two shuttles that are charged with crew transfers and pilot rescue and recovery.

Verpine Quarters

Further in the ship exists a hive-like network for the Verpine that serve on board the vessel. These honeycombed areas are not off-limits to regular personnel, but they are rarely traversed without specific intention.
