Experimental Escort

"The USS Avalon is one of the newest Starfleet designs and the first vessel of its class left the San Francisco Yards almost on the same day when Voyager went through the Borg Transwarp Hub back to the Alpha Quadrant. As the quickly produced Federation fighters showed good performance during the Dominion War, Starfleet decided to keep a constant number of Attack Fighters in service even in times of peace. With great support for the project from Admiral Risner, the Avalon Class was designed as a mobile command center for fighter operations. The vessel can also acts as a logistics center for evacuation or routine missions, it is however not equipped with sufficient labs for scientific tasks."

Last year I was really into Armada 2 modding and eventually found this awesome community. During my time playing it I got a first glimpse at really modding the game in the Map Editor, something I had no previous knowledge of, and went berserk

About the picture: As stated before, the Avalon class is more of a Command ship than a warship. Above, the USS Avalon is being escorted through the Rigellian Nebula on route to its next mission
