HMS Amor de Cosmos
[Comments and criticisms are happily invited. This is the original variant of this MOC; an alteration has been made for comparison's sake.]
The HMS Amor de Cosmos is an Ignatieff-class vessel. Named for one of the Fathers of Confederation for British Columbia and launched on 19 November 2158 - the 300th anniversary of the establishment of the creation of the crown colony of British Columbia - the HMS Amor de Cosmos is designed as an interstellar assault mothership.
Staffed by a crew of thirty, and capable of supporting* all additional crew (152 in total) for the two Bordens, four Duplessises, and eight Lougheeds that comprise a full flotilla for this class of vessel, the HMS Amor de Cosmos can pacify small colonies and rogue stations or perform pinpoint infantry strikes on multiple planetside targets. It is itself capable of duelling with any other comparably-sized interstellar vessel or an assault by a variety of smaller craft, thanks to its ten banks of "Biculturalism" - laser cannons and plasma torpedoes.
The Ignatieff-class is currently the fastest and most maneuverable in its category (midsized interstellar assault, tactical).
*Support does not indicate that all can be provided with escape pods in the event of catastrophe; until the Borden-class escape shuttles are upgraded to the anticipated Mackenzie-class, all pilots, gunners, and troops would have to escape in their own vehicles. Support simply indicates available life support and spartan sleeping quarters.
