Looming Threat

An Imperial Consortium Hordemaster-class fleet carrier and its escorts patrol near a giant blue star.
Never let it be said that the Imperial Consortium failed to learn anything from its first war with humanity. It gained a great appreciation of the use of carriers and their compliments of fighters and have designed the Hordemaster to counter the human carrier threat. The Hordemaster carries 128 fighters and bombers and several pinnaces as well. It's armor is extremely thick, and designed to force enemies into a frontal attack if they want any hope of doing significant damage. This funnels them right into the sights of its multiple forward weapons, which include particle beam cannons, heavy lasers and anti-matter missiles.
