Earth Alliance Odyssey Class Frigate EAS Iliad pictured Odyssey Class History Earth Alliance capital ships are well-known throughout the galaxy. The EA puts out some of the ugliest, most powerful vessels of the younger races, but the EA hasn't been known for its lighter warships. As a matter of fact, EF's main combat vessels are sometimes escroted by other capital ships (ex. seeing Hyperions escorting Omegas and Novas). The only Earth Alliance light escort type ship that could be named by someone from another race would be the Olympus Class Corvette. This ship, however, was old at the time of the Dilgar War. And most of these were destroyed in the Earth-Minbari War. A newer escort was needed. The Odyssey class was born. The Odyssey class was envisioned as a small, "disposable" starship, meaning it was easy to mass produce and inexpensive, as far as EA warships go. The Alpha model was armed with two MLCs, and one HPC as its primary armarment, the ship was more than cabable of defending itself and its designated command ship. Defensive weponary consisted of two Mk I interceptors and four SPBs. No fighters were carried. On aft firing MPC was also fitted. The Beta model was armed with two MPCs in place of the MLCs, and LPC's replacing the SPB's. Odyssey Class (Alpha Model) SCS Odyssey Class (Beta Model) SCS
