An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

During the late 2660s, the Terran Confederation was in a dire need for heavy carriers that could match the prowess of the Kilrathi Snakeir and Bhantkara classes. During this period of time, the Kilrathi were in possession of over 20 fleet carriers, compared to a mere 10 for the Confederation. In response to this strategic disadvantage, the Terran Confederation commissioned the construction of a new class of fleet carriers that were designed to be both self-sufficient and comparable to the strength of the superior carriers fielded by the Kilrathi Empire.

  • During the late 2660s, the Terran Confederation was in a dire need for heavy carriers that could match the prowess of the Kilrathi Snakeir and Bhantkara classes. During this period of time, the Kilrathi were in possession of over 20 fleet carriers, compared to a mere 10 for the Confederation. In response to this strategic disadvantage, the Terran Confederation commissioned the construction of a new class of fleet carriers that were designed to be both self-sufficient and comparable to the strength of the superior carriers fielded by the Kilrathi Empire. After the disastrous Battle of Earth in 2668, the purpose of these carriers changed drastically. With the Confederation on the brink of defeat, these new carriers would be responsible for taking the fight directly to the enemy as one of the few capital ship classes capable of leading a Terran offensive against a vastly superior fleet. Furthermore, the lead ship of this class would be assigned to an even greater task: The destruction of Kilrah. Humanity realized that the only way to truly defeat the Empire was to destroy the Kilrathi homeworld, which was home to the Royal Family. Therefore, the first of these Lexington-class Heavy Carriers, named for the TCS Lexington that was nearly destroyed at Earth, would be specially designed to destroy Kilrah in hopes of ending the war once and for all.
