Hello:
This is my Stargate AU's interpretation of the Achilles class, a fan-made Tau'ri ship originally created by Alnair:

The invaluable help by the Asgard to keep Earth's societies from collapsing into chaos after Anubis' massive attack, the Tau'ri started expanding their presence with the first extrasolar research teams from all over the world into safe worlds, but ship-building capabilities were kept small and slow due mostly to inexperience. In time, the Tau'ri were able to start expanding their fleet of spaceships and after the Ori Crusade ended, it was time to evaluate and re-evaluate how things have been done.

First, it was obvious the need to diversify the fleet because the BC-304 is a great design but it is an all-eggs-in-one-basket style of ship. So with expansion of starships one of the most needed roles is one of coordination of fleet actions, the starship designed for this role was the Achilles class:

The Achilles is larger than the BC-304 and follows a similar design style with a narrow front; then a mid hull that contains the main systems, the two large hangar bay pods and it also contains the ship's most prominent feature: the very large command towers which are filled with communication equipments and even an extra landing pad for visiting craft; The aft section contains an enlarged engine section.

As a command ship, the Achilles is not meant to face enemy capital ships directly, and while it was designed to optimize it's shields capabilities it is still very well-armed, with 04 larger Asgard Plasma Beam Cannons, 24 defensive railguns (like those on BC-304 Daedalus), 08 medium railguns (Like those on the DD-201 Ares) and 04 larger double railguns (like those on the BB-401 Excalibur). Making this ship more than capable of protecting it's flag officers and to be an asset on any field.

I hope you'll all like it. Please click Download so you can see full details.
