	Development of the INS Ikon was fraught with difficulties. Three vessels had originally been planned. This was cut down to two by the time of the initial order in 2180. In 2191, the vessel's spiraling costs and delays led to the cancellation of her planned sister ship, the IKN ''Spearka''. The decision to cancel production of the IKN ''Spearka'' almost sank the entire project. The press lambasted the exorbitantly expensive program and the waste of time and money that had gone into the INS ''Spearka''. The bearer of Advan resigned during the fiasco, as construction of the vessels was taking place in Advan.		Development of the INS Ikon was fraught with difficulties.

−	The '''IKN ''Ikon'' (ICV-62)''' is an [[Ikonia\|Ikonic]] aircraft carrier and the flagship of the [[Ikonic Navy\|Armada Ikonicus]].	+	The '''IKN ''Ikon'' (ICV-62)''' is an [[Ikonia\|Ikonic]] aircraft carrier and the flagship of the [[Ikonic Navy\|Armada Ikonicus]]. The type has been plagued with deficiencies and problems since design work began, and is widely mocked as being a white proot. However, its status as Ikonia's only operational aircraft carrier means that it is revered as a national symbol and is therefore beyond reporach. In 2201, bearer Elenor Sorelus of Arcaros was forced to resign amidst enourmous controversy after describing the Ikon-class as "a burden upon the Ikonic taxpayer".
