It must have escorts.

Well in that case the Frax CA and CW would be happy to pound the DWS and civilian base into the ground as the carrier is unescorted and non-participating – unless it has no escorts in Y178 which is a year before the one you list. Or unless I don’t understand the escort rules. Either is possible.

Did it have escorts in Y178? Did it exist as some sort of prototype?

It is actually an MKVH.  It must be since St-Ss are heavy fighters, and these can only be operated by the Hydrans on "true" carriers (those requiring escorts).  The SSD is the same as for the MKV which is in Module R10.

>From the Hydran Master Starship Book:

(R9.95A) MOHAWK-VH CARRIER FOR HEAVY FIGHTERS

(MKV-H): A few Mohawk-Vs were assigned to carry heavy

fighters.

The Mohawk-VH carrier for heavy fighters is an

operational variant of Mohawk-V medium carrier (R9.95).

Carrier: This ship is a true carrier (R9.R4); see (J4.75),

(J4.93), (J11.13), and (J15.22). The fighters comprise a

squadron of heavy fighters and a half squadron of Stinger-2

hybrid fighters.

Two bays each holding three fighters, three heavy

fighters, and two admin shuttles. Each bay includes four

launch tubes (J1.54). Transfers between the bays by (J1.59)

are possible.

Year Escorts Fighters

Y179+ NAC, DWA 6xSt-2,

6xSt-T or 6xSt-U

The fighters listed are those for the Mohawk-HV itself and

do not include any fighters that might be carried by its

escorts.

Escort ready racks: The ready racks of the escorts if the

escorts did not have fighters of their own were configured for

Stinger-2s (R9.F2). Escorts cannot have ready racks for

heavy fighters; see (S8.318).

Aegis Escort Lancers (R9.16A) and new aegis cruisers

(R9.34A) were virtually interchangeable and either might be

used when available.

Refits: None.

SSD is identical to the Mohawk-V; use the MKV counter

in Module R10.

Known names: Royal Command.

Peace,

Peter S. DiMitri

I'm up for playing out 310 Colony Raid if someone can tell me what a MKH is.
In G3 it says it's in a "Future Product" and it's not in SFBOL. The website
indicates an off-hand reference to it in CL29 but the table of contents
doesn't list a SSD. It seems to be a thing in Fed and Empire. I'd expect it
to be some variant and I'd prefer it to carry three heavy fighters but I'd
like to actually know.

Colony Raid 312 - CWs vs Hydran DWs I'm up for that.

Prospecting Raid 360 - CW vs. Jindo DW, sounds good.

Pursuit 339 - DW vs Seltorian CA. Our ships are pretty good but not 22 power
vs 40 power and 3 p1s vs 8p1s good. We'll be disengaging.
