The Ganonda-class Space Carrier, previously codenamed Bolar Space Carrier, is a Bolar Federation class of space carrier.[3][2]
Technical specification and Armaments[]
The aft of the Ganonda-class Space Carrier. The flight deck is hollowed through the entire length of the ship.
It was built and commissioned under the 28th Project of the Bolar Federation Perpetual Administration Bureau. The project number indicates that it was planned later than the Krotoga-class standard battleship and the Amanga-class missile battleship.[3]
Like all other Bolar ships, the Ganonda-class uses a concealment system in which the main armament is interior to the hull and appears when in use. It is presumed that this is because the ships of the Bolar Federation often move through the dense space of the interstellar medium.[2]
The flight deck of the Ganonda-class is colored bright orange, enclosed by the superstructure of the ship, with its openings at stem and stern.[4][5] As of 2207, it is equipped with Reboot aircraft.[3]
History[]
A Ganonda-class at Garmann
The Ganonda-class was developed after the Krotoga and the Amanga-classes, and is often used by the Bolar Federation as a fleet flagship.[3]
In August 2205, during the negotiations on Galman between the federation and the Greater Garmillan Empire, rapresented by Abelt Desler, a Ganonda-class Carrier was stationed over the Galman Cathedral. The carrier was spared by the Desler fleet during their attack to seize Garmann,[6] and was later used to evacuate Governor-General Vilke Boroze and his staff.[1]
Years later, in 2207, a Ganonda-class, Labrokov, under the command of Captain Djerba Gudan served as the flagship of Frontier Patrol Fleet 584 under Political Officer Boroze.[7] In 2207, the fleet carried out regular incursions in the Earth Federation's territory near the 11th planet . During one incursion, in October, it was intercepted by the 11th Escort Corps of the Cosmo Navy and ordered to retreat. During the stand off, both units encountered the Dezariam space fortress Ground Reverse emerging from the rear of Boroze's fleet. Captain Gudan gave permission to open fire on the Grand Reverse, but it had no effect and Political Officer Vilke Boroze ordered the fleet to retreat temporarily.[8]
Believing to have encountered the Light of the Witch of Uralia, Boroze reported to the homeland. High Commissioner Belm von Bemlarze and First Secreatary Lyudmi Darya gave him command of a number of ships to invade the Earth Federation and find more about what had happened. However, the fleet was rapidly intercepted by the Dezariam battleship Grodez and her accompanying Hyades-class Destroyer escorts and were nearly wiped out.[4]
