-Arcadia Aerospace Yards-

Flashback two years:

Norrington is overlooking progress on the new Andre Courteau class super carrier. He had come up with the design after reading a report on the new aerospace interceptors under development, noting how they would take up far more room than conventional fighters. As a result, regular carriers wouldn't be able to handle them, and be limited to a handful of aircraft each. The Andre Courteau would be different, she would house 160 fighters, and be as large as the Viscount class. He smiled to himself as he gazed down upon the massive vessels, the Arcadian Empire would be running in fear once all his pet projects were ready, a day he looked forward to greatly...

Present Day:

The first of Norrington's new aerospace carrier, NARNS Andre Courteau, rises from the shipyard. Her three huge hangar apertures are open, and 160 IHA-1A interceptors fly past before making landings inside. Once all are on board, the massive armored doors slam shut, and she warps to join the rest of the fleet. An hour later, a second ship rises from the dock, and repeats this process.
