Category:Taurus Ark-class

Technical Data
The Taurus Ark-class were Human-built warp capable vessels which operated during the 2090s. The class was only used to any true extent during the Taurus Program to colonize the distant 34Tauri(2020)-system. Following the completion of programs colonial launch phase in 2098, the design ceased production in favor of the Macross Island-class colony ship.

Speed
Before the launch of the  Macross Island-class the Taurus Ark was the most advanced colony ship in the field for United Earth, capable of Warp 1.5 for extended periods of time, more than any in the civilian fleets.

Crew
The Taurus Arks could hold up to 600,000 colonists, though this number could be increased to 1.5-million at its max life support and extreme supply rationing. This was to account for any additional childen that were born in flight.

Armaments
These vessels were not armed.
