Description
The Durandal Class Fast Attack Carrier is classified as a Capital Class vessel due to its tonnage, but its relatively compact size and uncharacteristically fast speed allow this ship class to perform as a Cruiser in terms of mobility. Furthermore, the Durandal features a formidable drone carry capacity and drone deployment capability. (NOTE: This ship was designed during Kinetic Void build v0.07b, which is why all of the drone bays are located facing either up or down in order to eliminate the "drone crashing into your own ship" problem. Subsequent updates of Kinetic Void may remedy this issue. Currently-installed drones are all of the smallest type, but you are of course free to change up the hangars and drone varieties according to your mission parameters.).


"They've made a lot of movies like 'Star Honor II' or 'Nebula of Death' that have the Durandal Carriers featured in them, but all of them are kind of laughable in certain ways. I mean, it's always hard to take movies seriously when you know how the real thing works. The Durandal carriers you see in the movies, those things are accurate-looking but functionally awfully different--a real Durandal is a far more sturdy, powerful, and capable vessel than any movie has yet depicted. My guess is that it is probably because many of the Durandal specs are classified."

-reknowned military holo-novel author Spencer Clancy Ulrich on his latest holo-novel, "Rubicon: The True Story of the Pursuit of the Rogue Durandal Captain and her Crew"
