− In terms of sheer tonnage, the '''''Monolith''''' is the largest class of civilian [[JumpShip]] ever built; at 750 meters from fore to aft it is also the longest. Other than its sheer size, another distinctive trait is a unique system of docking collars mounted on arms. These docking arms are arranged in three groups that form rings down the vessel's spine. These arms enable the ''Monolith'' to accommodate even the largest [[DropShip]]s. Furthermore, with a total of nine docking collars it can accommodate more DropShips than any other civilian JumpShip.<ref name=TRO3057R/><ref name=DS&JSp24>''DropShips and JumpShips: ComStar Intelligence Summary'', p. 24</ref> + In terms of sheer tonnage, the ''Monolith'' is the largest class of civilian [[JumpShip]] ever built; at 750 meters from fore to aft it is also the longest.

The ''Monolith'' is more heavily armored than other JumpShips, but it is still utterly defenseless if engaged in combat. ''Monolith'' command centers are normally equipped with the latest in communication, analysis, and simulation equipment. As a result, many ''Monoliths'' serve as flagships for fleets, coordinating invasion operations until command can be passed to an orbiting DropShip or other center closer to the target.<ref name=TRO3057R/> The ''Monolith'' is more heavily armored than other JumpShips, but it is still utterly defenseless if engaged in combat.
