Programs: The Uraga class is the new stealth carrier class after the recent generation of ARMD carriers. It has weaponry, armor, and maneuverability comparable to a cruiser. It has been assigned as the flagship of small fleets. Few have been stationed in each colonization fleet due to their high costs compared to the ARMD carriers, but the replacement of ARMD carriers is proceeding one by one. Several are in active service as defensive stations docked to unarmed core ships such as the Riviera and Hollywood.

Design: Stealth composition. Hanger gates, docking system in aft.
