Viking-Class Assault Ship
These gigantic vehicles are designed for power projection and planetary siege operations. Each can transport an entire mechanized army across interstellar distances and land it directly onto a planetary battlefield. A single ship is all that is needed to conquer a colonial planet, while a Viking squadron can mount a credible invasion of a civilized, high-population world. Although not a battleship, this assault carrier is heavily armored and equipped with a missile array that rivals a destroyer squadron. This enables it to defeat space defense platforms and provide orbital artillery support.
Its most distinctive feature is its three cavernous loading bays (two for hangars, one for cargo), one under the vessel and one on either side of its rim. Missile ports and gun batteries are also spaced along the ship’s equator. When it lands, it rests on six gigantic landing legs. It uses a 3,000,000-ton (SM +15) 700 meter unstreamlined hull.
This enormous assault ship allows the empire to transport entire armies over interstellar distances
It is very similar to the Continent-Class Carrier, having same basic hull and more than 90% parts in common. The main difference is that Viking class has more bunk rooms and related things and less hangars than the continent-class.
