Line 42: Often deployed in place of assault or "Pocket WarShip" type DropShips, the ''Gorgon'' is fitted with 51.5 tons of [[Ferro-Aluminum Armor]] to allow it to survive the rigors of these combat engagements. Its armor is spread almost evenly over the hull with slightly more emphasis on protecting the nose and wing sections.

One of the ship's unique features is the cargo bay running the length of the hull, which can hold a thousand tons of cargo to sustain its fighter complement and itself. However, during course of its active use, many ships would have their cargo bays modified into an [[Internal Bomb Bay|internal bomb bay]], effectively allowing the ''Gorgon'' to act as massive bomber carrying aerospace craft that could deliver devastating bombing runs to both space and ground targets. + The class was designed to be a modern version of the ancient ''[[Titan (Dropship)|Titan]]''-class fighter carrier DropShip, with its ability to deploy three [[Squadron|aerospace fighter squadrons]].
