The Gamilas Battle Carrier (戦闘空母) was a red single deck carrier that was used by the Gamilas Empire.
Overview[]
The Gamilas Battle Carrier usually sported red and sometimes white. It could change from a single flight deck to a heavily armed ship equipped with at least 8 guns and at least 16 torpedo tubes. It was normally equipped with 12 guns in 4 turrets 2 in the front and 2 in the back.
Leader Dessler had a modified version of the Gamilas Battle Carrier that was equipped with a Dessler cannon.
History[]
The first ever encountered vessel of the Gamilas Battle Carrier was during the Earth-Gamilas War where one such vessel was commanded by Captain Hiderm. It was this carrier that launched the drill missile bomber against the Earth space battleship Yamato in the Battle of the Rainbow Galaxy. The Carrier alongside the rest of the Domel Fleet, attempted to attack the Yamato, while the Yamato was heavily damaged. Luckily Sanada and Analyzer has managed to successfully dislodged the drill missile, which moved backwards and headed straight towards the Gamilas Battle Carrier, destroying it and the three other Carrier ships of the Domel Fleet. Every single one of Domel's ships were destroyed, all except Domel's Flagship, which pursued the Yamato and self destructed, but the Earth ship had narrowly managed to survive the explosion.
A few months after the White Comet Empire is defeated by Earth, a modified version of this ship, the Revenge served as Dessler's new flagship during their exile, and upon arriving at Gamilas, the Revenge and the Gamilas Fleet Remnants encountered a new, mysterious, and deadly enemy called Dark Nebula Empire. This new enemy illegally seized and began desecrating the now abandoned Planet Gamilas, while also mining unstable minerals that they sought to use to create deadly weapons for their invasion of the galaxy. This cowardly act greatly angered Dessler that he ordered his fleet to attack these nefarious newely encountered invaders. The Battle Carrier Revenge led the charge against the mining party, which started the 2nd Battle of Gamilas, which quickly resulted in complete and total destruction of the entire Planet Gamilas, with Dessler's Fleet managing to narrowly escape the blast which caused the Planet Iscandar to be flung out of it's own orbit towards parts unknown. Dessler ordered his fleet to follow Iscandar, while completely unaware that Commander Deader and his fleet started to follow them as well. During the 1st Battle to Defend Iscandar, the Revenge and the Gamilas Fleet came under attack by the Dark Nebula Empire Fleet led by Commander Deader. The Revenge and the Gamilas Fleet did their best to try and protect Queen Starsha and her lover Mamoru Kodai, but Dessler knew they wouldn't last longer against this new and deadly enemy. Luckily the Yamato arrived in time to save Dessler and his remaining forces, and had manage to defeat both Commander Deader and his flagship, the Pleiades.
During the Battle Against Goruba, the Revenge led the charge against the enemy flagship and fortress Goruba, but the massive fortress proved too powerful, even for Dessler's once mighty Dessler Cannon. When General Moelders turned Goruba's weapons at Iscandar, Dessler ordered his ship to ram the enemy mothership's main cannon barrel, an act which saves both Starsha and Kodai's older brother. Dessler then desperately ordered Susumu Kodai to fire the Yamato's wave motion gun at Dessler's ship, because he knew it was Goruba's only weakness. Luckily Queen Starsha intervenes and tells both parties to stop fighting and decides to let Generl Moelders have Iscandar. The Revenge then removes itself from Goruba, as the enemy vessel descends upon Iscandar. After getting her husband and their newborn daughter Sasha safely to the Yamato, Queen Starsha sacrifices herself by blowing up Iscandar which destroys Goruba and Kills Moelders. The Battle Carrier Revenge and the Earth battleship Yamato, were the only two ships to have survived the final battle against Goruba. The two ships commanders bid farewell and the Battle Carrier Revenge left for parts unknown, where Dessler vows to find a new home for his people.
