Designed and built during the early months of the Oscdean arrival to Terra, the Udorous carrier serves as a multi-role flagship for the Vindictus Ove, and the personal command vessel of the Oscdean Grand Panturion.

Overview and Development

Led by the Unisah Corporation, OSCO Corporation, and later Hutarni Construct, the Udorous project fell under the name of "Project V", and was built by the Oscdean cell colony on Orcana. Designed by a team composed by Ponvaru Ined Monsl and Hureea Lac Denarsu, the Udorous was designed to fulfill a heavy exploration vessel for establishing colonies on habitable worlds, as the Oscdeans planned to move its largely established Orcana population to a more suitable planet.

However, in 3018, the project was temporarily halted with the discovery of Sol and the temperant planet Terra. As the Tauruan Orcana colonies began their migration to Terra on smaller vessels, the Udorous project was halted by the Vindictus Ove in order to focus and dedicate more resources to their operations on Terra.

It was not till the Writ of Faraum Gefari and the disappearance of Obveron Uniath that prompted the Oscdeans to resume the project. By then, the Oscdeans has advanced significantly and many major overhauls were made to the Udorous to adapt to modern standards, extending its development.

Many features of the Udorous include key features from Oscdean battleships and cruisers, along with experimental technology incorporated within the ship after the discovery of Uterna.

As of 3020, the Grand Panturion Nylis Tuus Moradeshi commands the Udorous.

Combat

Leading entire fleets, the Udorous main objective is to protect and enhance Vindictus Ove ships, acting as a beacon to emit command modules that significantly enhances naval batteries, capacitor cells, and shielding, as well as providing hundreds of aircraft in its large hangar bays.

Along both sides of its hull sits two Arcesmodieas Neutron Lances, deadly particle accelerator cannons capable of annihilating entire enemy warships with ease, although used sparingly as the usage of these cannons overload the ships main capacitor units.

However, the Udorous's primary feat is to able to emit "bubbles", a devastating tactic that can be used offensively or defensively. It is nicknamed as the "Candle Cradle", a tri-sector core capable of emitting the Defensive Blue Candle Cradle and the Offensive White Candle Cradle through a controlled core dump. While both Cradle's are created and deployed in a similar manner, their functions and purpose are completely different.
