MC95 Aether-class Battle Carrier

The Aether-class Battle Carrier is the first ship in the Elemental Line of highly customizable military hardware from the Hydra Project. While the Aether is Both the prototype and first of its class of vessel, its unlikely there will be another identical to it. This is because the Aether-class is designed to be modular, allowing for the ship to meet maintenance and operation restrictions its owner may have while still being a sturdy heavy capital ship.

In this regard weapon mountings, primary and secondary parts/components and internal facilities of the vessel can be exchanged for ones that either its owner's world has easy access to or produces. Other elements of the vessel can also be changed out to further ease the maintenance and price of the vessel such as armor plating or internal systems.

Structurally the vessel barrows design elements from both Mon Calamari and Kuat so that the vessel can, at least visually, integrate into just about any fleet.

The Aether-class also brakes several bench marks for the Mon Calamari Shipyards. It will be to date the largest ship they will be mass producing. It is also their first combat vessel that the Empire can order and also the largest ship that is legally sold to anyone who can afford it under the Galactic Defense Accord.
