Design and Development
As Atreus Aerospace Command (AASC) doctrine continued to develop and inevitable casualties and loses became obvious to the Admiralty, the AASC understood a requirement for a dedicated logistics platform to ensure if the ships of the AASC remained combat capable even in the event that they were crippled in battle.
With the contract requirements issued out to corporations in 2197, the Odyssey proposal quickly pulled ahead of Northwind and Starline's proposals for its 6 side-mounted refit berths, as well as its smaller repair workshop mounted ventrally amidships. Additionally to its repair capacity, the soon to be Mender-Class had expansive damage control lockers, part warehouses, and fuel bunkers providing even more logistical capability than the other proposals.
The Mender-Class also serves as a command center for logistical operations at the fleet level, with a flag-bridge to accommodate a flag officer to manage
