Info: New Worlds is extremely old carrier and was the first UFP carrier, it was still used for many years. New Worlds was mostly used in the small conflicts against pirates and raiders, but it was also in the wars that were against the Folans and Vemrers. New Worlds was designed about 90 years ago and was good ship at that time. Still it was used as long as to the Gorg war, but already during then New Worlds had lost its position as the main carrier and only few of these were still in use, all others had been decommissioned. One New Worlds survived from the Gorg war, but it was destroyed by the Dominion then later.

Gigerdos Class Medium Carrier
Engines: Three heavy impulse engines.
FTL drive: Jump drive MkI heavy version.
Size length: 5 km
Size width: 1,1 km
Armor: Average cap ship armor.
Weapons: Four heavy Incinerator Beams, eight medium Incinerator Beams, 39 light Incinerator Beams, two missile launchers and one torpedo launcher.
Shields: Energy shields 64 500
Special Equipment: Advanced sensors and advanced communications.
Fighters: 300 fighters.
Max. crew: 7 400
Norm. Crew: 1 000
Min. crew: 2
Cargo Space: 600 m³
Capable of landing to planet: No.
Capable of atmospheric flight: Yes.
Reactors: Two large Antimatter reactors and three medium fusion reactors.
Info: Gigerdos was made few years before the Gorg war and the name Gigerdos came from the alliance between the humans and gigerdians that had been in place for hundreds of years and so UFP named one ship in memory of this alliance, which was called as the Gigerdos alliance when it was formed. This ship's another name was also Utopia, but that name was later totally abandoned. Gigerdos proved to be a lot better carrier than the New Worlds and so it was used a lot in the Gorg war and after that in the Dominion war. In both wars it proved to be an efficient carrier. Even in the Lightness war Gigerdos proved to be quite effective, even that it wasn't as effective as it had been against the Dominion or the Gorg. Gigerdoses continued to serve even after the Lightness war and were also seen in both GA-IPA conflict and in the Emissary conflict. Pretty much the main carrier in the Starfleet.

Grenade Class Heavy Carrier
Engines: Six heavy impulse engines.
FTL drive: Jump drive MkII heavy version.
Size length: 12 km
Size width: 3 km
Armor: Excellent cap ship armor.
Weapons: Seven heavy Incinerator Beams, 16 medium Incinerator Beams, 76 light Incinerator Beams, four missile launchers and two torpedo launchers.
Shields: Energy shields 140 000
Special Equipment: Advanced sensors and advanced communications.

Max. crew: 19 000
Norm. Crew: 3 250
Min. crew: 6
Cargo Space: 2 km³
Capable of landing to planet: No.
Capable of atmospheric flight: Yes.
Reactors: Two large Antimatter reactors and two large fusion reactors.
Info: Grenade is the most powerful carrier that Starfleet has. It was designed just little before the Lightness war and during the war it proved to be more effective than the Gigerdos. Grenade is bigger and more powerful than the Gigerdos, however their speed and maneuverability is quite the same, but generally Grenade is better than the Gigerdos. Still Grenade and Gigerdos are both used pretty much the same amount. In the Lightness war, Grenade proved to be useful because of its large supplement of fighters. Many Grenades served in the war and survived from the war and are still in service. Grenades were also seen in both the GA-IPA conflict and in the Emissary conflicts.
