Designed to fill the gap between the small ''[[Leopard CV]]'' and massive ''[[Vengeance (DropShip class)|Vengeance]]'', the '''''Okinawa'''''-class [[DropShip]] is capable of carrying 18 [[aerospace fighter]]s.

Unlike most other fighter carriers, the ''Okinawa'' is a spheroid design, with its fighter bays arranged in a ring around the craft's midsection. The fighter bays all link to a central repair section in the middle, with pilots quarters directly above, while the engineering crews are directly below, reducing access times. The ''Okinawa'' features suitable weaponry and armor for its size, originally featuring uniform protection now reinforced at the nose at the cost of the sides based on operational experience.

While relying upon its fighters to provide most of its offensive ability, the ''Okinawa'' is reasonably well armed. The nose features paired [[ER Large Laser]]s, an [[ER PPC]] and, [[Large Pulse Laser]], twin [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s and [[Artemis IV FCS]] enhanced [[LRM-20]] and [[SRM-6]] racks, supported by  ER large laser, ER PPC, medium pulse laser and LRM-20 and SRM-6 racks on each upward side. The aft quarters feature a single ER and Pulse large laser and an [[LRM-10]], with a single large pulse laser, LRM-10 rack, and twin [[Streak SRM-2]] launchers mounted directly aft.

The ''Okinawa'''s fighter bays are capable of carrying 18 fighters, split between a larger 12 fighter capacity bay and a secondary 6 fighter bay. Located around the craft's midsection, these bays are deserving of note for serving to both launch and recover fighters, instead of the separate launch and landing bays like most other carriers. Beyond the fighter bays, the ''Okinawa'' also has a single 297-ton bay for stores.
