Kagai-Class Assault Ship

The Ge-C2-1a Assault Ship is Geshrinari Shipyards ship designed to carry and deploy a Star Army of Yamatai Star Army Century; it became available in YE 34.

The Ge-C2 is an Assault ship designed by Geshrinari Shipyards and submitted for a contract with the Star Army of Yamatai. The Kagai is the same size as the Urufu-Class Light Cruiser which was designed for strike mission. The Kagai is capable of carrying a Star Army Century and all its support equipment.

The Ge-C2 is also equipped with a squadron of fighters to provide air support for the Star Army Century while deploying.

After the success of the Ge-C1, the company when it heard that the Star Army of Yamatai was looking for a ship capable of deploying larger numbers of troops, looked to their earlier design and investigated how they could modify it to meet the new specifications. The upper section was relatively unchanged except for modifications to the weapons to make it more appropriate for planetary assault, and the lower decks were extensively modified. The prototype class ship keel was laid in third quarter YE 34.

The Urufu completed its 5-year review early in YE 37 and was reauthorized until at least YE 43 and that authorization also extends to the Kagai.

The upper hull of the Kagai-Class hull is a tapered diamond shape. It is painted Star Army Blue and features the Star Army Hinomaru and registration on the top. It has a pair of wings along the forward hull to improve atmospheric performance. At the base of the wings the two torpedo tubes can be seen. Along the aft there are four Aether Plasma Drives painted gray which propel the ship for STL travel. The non-retractable weapons are visible. The underside features a large flattened cylinder which provides the added space for the larger load. On either side of it are two field deployment modules. These have multiple hatches which the Infantry can unload their equipment.

The Kaga-Class shares several decks with the Urufu-Class

This deck is identical as the Urufu-Class Deck 1.

This deck is identical as the Urufu-Class Deck 2.

This deck is identical as the Urufu-Class Deck 3.

This deck houses the Engineering, Life support room, Medical Center, AMTC, Ship's Store, Star Army Alterations and Embroidery, Fitness Center. Also located on this deck is auxiliary control a compact bridge that the command crew can transfer to if the primary bridge is damaged. It is possible to control the ship from the auxiliary control by a single operator. There are also six Star Army Escape Pod, Type 30s.

Also referred to as the Infantry Deck Alpha most of the facilities on this deck are living quarters for the Infantry Platoon it has the following: 12 Squad Cabin, 6 Crew Cabin, 4 Officers Cabin, 6 eight-person communal showers, 6 eight-person communal toilets, Armory upper level. There are also twenty Star Army Escape Pod, Type 30s along hull.

Also referred to as Infantry Deck Beta most of the facilities on this deck are for the support of the Infantry Platoon, it has the following rooms; 2 Standard Star Army Wardroom, Power Armor bay which holds 100 power armor, Armory lower level, Fitness Center. A four Laundry rooms are present for the Infantry. There are also eight Star Army Escape Pod, Type 30s. There are 6 Standard Star Army Crew Cabin (Enlisted) for use by the pilots.

This deck is taller than the other decks with four meters of space from floor to ceiling. It holds the cargo hold and vehicle bay. It also houses the redundant sensor array and the landing struts. The cargo/vehicle bay is 25 meters wide; 4 meters tall, and 40 meters deep. The maximum capacity of medium SSCC's is 150. This is due to leaving clearance for the crane and clearance for personnel to get around the crates safely. The rear section of this deck is the aerospace bay, for the small craft assigned to the craft.

The Ge-C2 features two Deployment pods. These are used to store all the Unit Equipment for the Star Army Century for quick deployment. Each pod is separated into six compartments.

• Length: 110 m
• Height: 10 m
• Width: 20 m

The usage of the bays is the same regardless of which side they are on.

• Bay 1 is used for storing provisions. The starboard pod is loaded with 9,000 Star Army Field Rations, Type 31, and 19,500 gallons of potable water. The port pod is filled with containers of regular food stuff, sufficient for 30 days.
• Bay 2 Used to store the POM Modules
• Bay 3 Used to store the POM Modules
• Bay 4 Used to store the POM Modules
• Bay 5 is used for storing the Yusou Type 33 Grav-APCs. There is also maintenance equipment for them as well.
• Bay 6 is one of the two largest compartments. They are used for storing and maintaining the Ke-T7 "Raccoon" Transport Shuttle. Each can hold up to four and have diagnostic equipment and tools for maintaining them.

Explosive bolts that attach the Pods can be used to detach them from the Kagai once they are placed on the ground. This allows them to serve as bunkers for the unit while establishing their base of operation. However this means a lengthy time on the ground to reattach them.

The Ge-C2 is constructed using Osmiridium for its frame, and a .5-meter-thick hull of Yamataium. Interior passageways and rooms are surrounded by Yarvex sheeting and protected from scalar fields by the internal gravity systems. The windows on the Ge-C2 are made of transparent Yamataium.
