Worldripper Class
|
The Skorr Worldripper Class battlecarrier is the most powerful ship used by Skorr Hierarchy military forces. There are six of them in operation, and the ships are used as mobile theater battle centers, usually in command of massive fleet engagements, or for planetary invasion or defense operations. Each Worldripper Class starship carries twenty-four full combat wings of Swiftwing Class fighters.
This massive battle platform is a combination starbase and starship, containing systems and capabilities of both designs. It carries over a million ground forces and over six-thousand fighter pilots. The remaining personnel act as officers, crew and support personnel for fleet operations.
These vessels are resilient and battle-proven. They have seen action in conflicts in the Romulan Star Empire, Orion Syndicate, Cardassian Union and against the Borg Collective. Because of the sheer firepower and military design of this vessel, they are used to intimidate, coerce and operate in distant theater operations and in combat zones. Most of the time, these vessels act as mobile repair facilities for other Skorr combat craft, Operational Fleet command and mobile carrier. During active combat duties, they are often escorted by up to fifty other Skorr warships. Command of a Worldripper Class ship is seen as a great honor, and to date none have ever been lost in battle. Their reputation is such that their appearance is usually seen as a worrisome event.
Though massive and fairly slow, these huge battle platforms have been known to turn the tide of entire wars, through their efforts. Their massive size, rivals that of some small cities, and the ship is capable of extreme self-sufficiency, while even acting as a support element for an entire fleet of warships.
This makes the vessel capable of fulfilling a variety of combat and support rolls as the mission dictates.
In 2414, the Skysplitter a vessel of this class was encountered at Beta Aquillia IV under the command of Ambassador Dralar. They were there in response to the abduction of the Skorr Ambassador stationed there, during the coup by the Veil of the Sky.
The Worldripper Class starship was first seen in the USS Rosenante Mission : The Veil of the Sky
