View source for Syfon-pattern assault carrier

==Overview==
===Design details===
''Syfon''-pattern vessels can be most easily distinguished from their ''Kerel''-pattern counterparts by their more segmented hull plating. Of particular note, the ''Syfon''-pattern features numerous skyscraper-like protrusions extending from the dorsal surfaces of the ship, where the ''Kerel'' has an extremely consistently smooth hull covering. The ''Syfon'' is a commonly-seen variation of the assault carrier design.{{Ref/Reuse|WF}}

''Syfon''-pattern assault carriers can also carry large [[habitat dome]]s on board, similar to those housed on {{Pattern|Mjern|agricultural support ship}}s. One such example was used by the [[Prophet of Regret]] aboard ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' as a place to carry out his official duties.{{Ref/Game|Id=h2a|H2A|H2A:Terminals|Terminal 14}}

===Power and propulsion===
''Syfon''-pattern carriers are powered by a large [[deuterium]]-[[tritium]] [[pinch fusion reactor]] housed in the central mass of the ship, inside a large and cavernous space.{{Ref/Reuse|H2Cairo}}

===Armaments===
The ''Syfon'' boasts an identical armament loadout to its ''Kerel'' counterpart. Its primary weapon is an [[Excavation beam|''Infernus''-pattern excavation beam]], with an additional two [[Plasma lance|''Urpeon''-pattern plasma lances]] for heavy anti-ship work. The class is additionally fitted with eight [[Plasma beam emitter|''Luxor''-pattern heavy plasma beam emitters]] and twenty-four [[Plasma torpedo|''Mictix''-pattern heavy plasma torpedo]] silos, alongside an array of 700 [[Pulse laser turret|''Ferriel''-pattern pulse laser]] turrets.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
