Gemini Class History The Gemini is based on the Omega class. It was an attempt to build a cheaper carrier than the Poseidon and Utrecht classes. The project was not too successful in keeping costs down, but the ship did turn out to be a nice fleet carrier. It lasted in limited production till the mid 2260's. The Alpha model was armed with two HPC's, four MPC's, and 12 SPB's. The two Beta models were converted to troop ships halfway through construction, and were armed with a mix of railguns and plasma weapons. The Alpha model could also carry four squadrons of fighters, while the Beta carried 24 assault shuttles and two breaching pods. |
