Ural-class

The Ural-Class carrier is a mobile suit space carrier used by the Earth Federation army, and by extension the A-LAWS who had control over the regular military.

Combat Characteristics
The primary purpose of the Ural-class is to carry a large number of mobile suits in space. For that purpose most of its superstructure is comprised of numerous massive hangers. These hangers can be adapted to accommodate numerous types of mobile suits or larger mobile armors like the GNMA-0001V Regnant.

Though it is a carrier the Ural-class is still equipped with a large number of weapons, namely the GN cannons and missile launchers that standard equipment aboard ESF Army and A-LAWS ships. Though the number of weapons its mounts is greater that of the A-Laws Battlecruiser the Ural-class is not a front-line battleship because its large size makes it an easy target.

GN Beam Cannons
The Ural-class carrier mounts at twelve of the GN beam cannons that are standard armaments aboard ESF Army ships.

GN Missiles
Another standard armament of ESF ships are GN missiles tubes, of which an unknown number are mounted on the Ural-class carrier.

History
At least one Ural-class ended up under the control of the Coup faction of the ESF Army, captained by Kati Mannequin, and joined with Celestial Being and Katharon forces in the final battle against the A-LAWS\Federation fleet. It would continue on an aide Celestial Being against the Gaga Forces at the battle against the Innovators (Innovade Group) at CBS Celestial Being.
