Description
The Monolith class is the largest civilian JumpShip class ever built. Prohibitive manufacturing and maintenance costs have kept the number of operating ships down, but their sturdiness and an abundant supply of spare parts ensures that they remain in service. As of 3057, the armies of the Successor States between them operate less than 50 Monoliths, half of which serve with the DCMS.
Monolith class ships often serve as invasion flagships and coordinate operations due to their extensive command center which is equipped with advanced communication, analysis and simulation equipment.
Armament
None, although two of the six Small Craft bays on a Monolith are typically used for fighters.
Cargo
The standard Monolith has six Small Craft bays and can carry 7000 tons of cargo. It also mounts extra fuel tanks to fuel DropShips or AeroSpace Fighters on extendend campaigns, making it an ideal base of operations.
Variants
No variants of the Monolith exist. The Technical Readout 3057 mentions the 7000 ton cargo capacity but states a mere 37 tons in the ship's stats table, presumably in error. It also gives the number of heat sinks as 140 as opposed to 137 as per BattleSpace rulebook.
