FSS Atlas

FSS Atlas is a United Earth Federation space carrier and is the second, and last ship of the Triton-class of space-going carriers. Unlike the Triton, she had larger hangar than her sistership due to some mid-construction modifications. This resulted in Atlas being able to carry more spacecraft than her sistership.

History
Part of the CVX-A-1 program, she was the second ship to come out of the program. Due to concerns that the Triton-class may not have an adequate air-wing size, it was decided that Atlas be slightly modified from the Triton that increased her hangar space. She was launched 3 days after Triton and commissioned 4 days later.

Carrier Task Force 14
Soon after being completed and a quick one week shakedown cruise, she joined her sistership in the newly formed Carrier Task Force 14. Alongside her sistership she participated in Operation Parry, the first major federation offensive of the war.
