It has been 35 years since the start of the Human - Grakk'Mar war. It was long, bloody, and in some test trials of experimental weapons, very unethical and flashy. But, through years of bloodshed and war, we, the Human race, finally came to terms with the Grakk'Mar. A cease-fire led to a loosening on borders. That, in turn, led to trading, and eventually, an Alliance. This Alliance is in it's 7th year of existence now, and it has been decided by a joint panel of Government leaders (the Terran-Grakk'Mar Council, the current ruling body of both races) that a joint Military refreshment is needed to keep the Alliance safe from any unknown threats, domestic and foreign alike. And so, the following ship is the first one of these new vessels made available for Public viewing.

Monolith-Class Super Carrier
The Monolith-Class Super Carrier is a new breed of ship: The Capital Ship. Although the concept of massive, heavily armed vessels has been around for some time (hence the Harbinger and the Colorado-Class Dreadnought), the classification of "Capital Ship" is a relatively new one to both the UEP and Grakk'Mar. This monster of a ship is armed to the teeth: 14 ADDD's (Automatic Drone-Deployment Device), which deploy the latest and greatest in automated Drone Fighter technology, 2 forward mounted, triple barreled RPAC's (Rapid Plasma-Acceleration Cannon), a total of 6 SPDC's (Standard Plasma-Discharge Cannon), as well as a decent variety of Point Defense weapons (although their importance has been scaled down due to recent developments in fighter-sized PD platforms). This Super Carrier also sports 4 MFHRNBD's (Mobile Fleet Repair NanoBot Deployer). This all means that a single Monolith-Class Super Carrier can act as a powerful Flagship for a fleet, a one-ship powerhouse, a mobile starbase, or even as a strong fleet support vessel (if refitted with the right equipment). Despite the high cost of building even one of these monster ships, they have become quite popular with fleet commanders, especially the Grakk'Mar, who have never had the chance to captain such large vessels, putting many of them on development in orbital shipyards throughout UT-G'MA (United Terran-Grakk'Mar Alliance) space.
And that is it for the Monolith-Class! If you survived this wall of text, you shall receive a cookie. If you leave a comment, you get two. If you do all that AND vote in the poll, you get a baker's dozen of chocolate-chip cookies! Thanks for your time, and let me say: it feels good to be back.
EDIT 1: Sorry for the blurriness of the pic: it's what I get for letting PhotoBucket downsize and then upsize the same pic.
EDIT 2: The UT-G'MA Fleet is on it's way! I already have a decent selection of ships made, I just want to get a few more Warship Classes made before initial release.
