Brief History: The Bismarck Class Carrier was a good ship, She filled the role that she was designed for. However after the two prototypes - the Bismarck and Tirpirz it was decided that a new class based on the Bismarck's hull was to be commisioned. The new Hindenburg Class of carrier was a Bismarck hull with all the trimmings but in addition to her already potent firepower 16 duel pulse cannon turrets were added (Image 3) for stern protection but a bit more punch at the bow also.
To allow for this 2 new advanced fusion reactors were also added but due to the hull restrictions they were added in a new section of hull between the lower wings and an advanced tachyon narrow band comm system and advanced sensor swete were also added to that section of hull.
To allow the new Hindenburg Class to go un-noticed during her trials she was fitted with a Minbari Stealth device and to protect her now very vunerable reactors she was equipped with Vorlon Based Bio-armour. The most advanced the Alliance had yet grown.
All this tech made the Hindenburg and her 3 sisters, equipped exculsivly with the most advanced alliance fighters and bombers (future projects) formidable opponents indeed. Never seen alone unless on a covert operation the Hindenburg is respected and feared by all who see her. It is rumored that she is able to go head to head with a Vorlon Starcruiser, and might be sent to the Vorlon homeworld to engage some of the autodefences to test her effectiveness.
Y'know, looking at Image 4 I get the impression of a Preying Mantis. Anybody else get that impression?

Hard to believe that the IA could design such an ugly ship, but we've seen it before. Nice mesh though for such an ugly ship [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]
