The Victory was the G Rebellion's new Super-Carrier. Built in less than half a year, it consisted of the best technology the known galaxy had to offer. They'd traded technology on many dark space stations, built to house various alien races. The foremost of these technologies, the weapons and defense system; was designed by scientists from The G Rebellion.
The armour had a form of energy barrier, unique in it's design, that would harness the power of an exotic atom by both creating and destroying it as and when the system was activated, until it was disarmed. The weapons were a hybrid system. A mix of old and new. There were a collection of missile tubes, capable of launching 300 missiles per minute from 6 tubes, at all angles. These missiles would travel at great speeds and when they hit their target, would explode a small amount of a fuel that alien race 028 had traded to them almost fifty years before The G Rebellion had wiped them out. This fuel was incredibly powerful and and was designed to maximise the destructive force. The vessel also contained close range energy weapons that could cover every possible angle of attack.
It carried a compliment of 70 smaller spacecraft, 50 fighters and 20 bombers. These smaller groups were spit into 7 squadrons. Alpha, Beta and Gamma all contained 10 fighters. The other 4 groups had 5 bombers and 5 fighters each.
Each group would patrol the area directly infront of the carrier and its two escort frigates for a period of 5 hours daily. This was protocol when a vessel was on the outer fringes of explored space. After a long rest period, it was Alpha's patrol.
Pilot McKenna, a seasoned pilot, led the patrol. His second in command, Pilot Fein, the only non-human pilot on the ship, was also experienced and had flown as many patrols as any other pilot had recorded. The third member of the group, Pilot Bradley, was a very young recruit. He was fresh out of the pilot academy and had only been assigned to the Victory because of a lucky coincidental clash between his graduating time and the launch of the ship. He was not a bad pilot but neither Fein nor McKenna were certain he had what it takes to be a member of a deep space patrol.
He, however, was the man who would fly furthest from the ship this time; a duty that most pilots sought after every time.
