Description[edit]

The Odyssey-class of JumpShips is a large and well-armed transporter that also features a Lithium-Fusion Battery. The design has been seen with several Clans but is notably absent from the fleets of Clan Wolf and Clan Jade Falcon.

At 345,000 tons, it is closest to the Monolith and Leviathan in DropShip capacity, but the Odyssey is a stocky 740 meters, more reminiscent in appearance of the Scout class. The long engineering module can be opened to space at sealed bulkheads every 20 meters, an excellent defense against boarding, along with the two Points of Elementals specially trained in zero-g combat usually assigned to the class. While their battle armor is too large for operation anywhere but the command section, no Odyssey is known to have been captured by hostile forces.[1]

Armament[edit]

In line with the Clan attitude, the Odyssey has weapons and armor despite being a JumpShip used primarily by the lower castes. It carries a collection of lasers and two Gauss rifles to fend off attackers, and is equipped with eight tons of anti-missile ammunition and four tons of gauss ammunition.

Cargo[edit]

The Odyssey can accommodate 418.5 tons of cargo, one Small Craft, each with one access door, and berthings for the two Marine Elemental Points. The Elementals have access to two doors to access the ship's hull and aid in its defense.[1]

Variants[edit]

No variants exist.

Named Vessels[edit]

Notes[edit]

  • In German products, the unit's proper name was translated to Odyssee.
