- DEDICATED BUT SEPARATE LAUNCH AND LANDING DECKS - While the fighters onboard are VTOL capable, the catapult systems allow for quick launches and landings, especially necessary in battlefield situations.
- LONG RANGE THREAT - The fighter screen is not the only firepower.
- I SAW THAT A MILE AWAY! - The long-range detection system keeps enemies from getting the drop on "The Ethereal".
- ANNUNAKI - The Special Forces are designing a ship "The Annunaki", special docking clamps and ports can allow for it to dock on the ventral section of the carrier.
- SLOWER THAN MOLASSES IN JANUARY - "The Ethereal" has a lot of offensive and defensive options, but speed? Maneuverability? Those aren't any of them. The ship needs some headway to get to speed and turns like a brick... "Fecal Matter Domicile."
- HEAVY CARRIER... NOT CRUISER - While "The Ethereal" can conduct ship-to-ship combat, this is not the primary focus of the vessel, and it could use some help in a fight.
- GET THAT THING OFF MY BOAT! - "The Annunaki" must be completely detached from "The Ethereal" before she can jump to lightspeed.
Losing "The Liberation" was a big, yet necessary blow to Liram. It did not shake his confidence in his abilities though as it can tend to do to some captains. In fact, when offered another command, he turned them down in favor of the new project. The Ethereal Class is suited perfectly for a Captain of Angellus' skill set. The focus on fighter capacity and the long-range sensors and weaponry, not to mention the room for a regiment of Marines, as well as mechanized division, make this carrier that is on that will cause a lot of problems. While she relies more on early detection and fighter screens, her firepower can hold up against many capital ships of similar size. Her fighter capacity is large enough to be lethal against many pirate groups. This is a Silver Jedi Defense Force asset, however if the Galactic Alliance Defense Force wishes to, they are more than welcome to place orders.
With the recent ambush of Brotherhood of the Maw Forces, Admiral Angellus took advantage of his rank and company position and put the carrier in drydock after the catastrophic damage put to it by "Quake Missiles". This was his first command and though he has much more responsibilities now, the class and line of ships hold a special places for him and he gave it the respect he felt it deserves now that he can.
