The Ancient Carrier (ACa) Akrotiri is a massive user-made Ancient warship. Originally created for the Inferno Release 1 mod, it has since been used in at least two other unrelated mods to represent a warship of Ancient origin or another non-GTVA faction that is a match for the Shivans in terms of fleet strength.

In Blue Planet: Age of Aquarius, the Akrotiri is used and known as the Vishnan Sacred Keeper.

The ACa Akrotiri

Description:

INFR1 Tech Room Description

The massive Akrotiri was originally thought to be a juggernaut, but the number of fighters it has been seen to deploy made Allied Command reconsider their designation. A supercarrier with several heavy and super-heavy cannons, as well as a formidable array of pulse turrets and missiles, it requires the full attention of a squadron of Jotun bombers or a capital ship to assist

The Vishnan Sacred Keeper

Blue Planet Tech Room Description

These Vishnan capital ships are found to be leading Vishnan strike groups. Transmissions intercepted and studied from this vessel have led researchers to conclude that these ships act as a communications hub for lesser ships in the fleet. Destruction of these vessels leave their escort vessels powerless and impotent. They are some of the most powerful capital ships we have ever encountered, rivalled only by the Shivan Sathanas juggernaut.

It may be worth noting that this is probably the most-used large ship that resembles the Ancients, or otherwise another powerful space-faring species. In the first Blue Planet campaign, it is used as the Vishnan Sacred Keeper, and in The Procyon Insurgency, it was designated a juggernaut thought to be of Ancient origin. Despite its size, armaments and hull strength, this is ship can move as fast as the NTF Iceni (based on its original INFR1 statistics), which in turn is the fastest canon Terran warship ever constructed. The biggest threat of the Akrotiri is that super-huge forward-firing beam cannon mounted on its underside, which can obliterate most destroyers with a single shot. Both Blue Planet and The Procyon Insurgency have demonstrated the power of this weapon. A battle tactic, used by the Shivans in Blue Planet, and the Vasudans in The Procyon Insurgency, is to concentrate a huge amount of beam fire on this particular beam cannon, rendering it inoperable and making the Akrotiri more akin to an Ancient "Lucifer", with lots of hitpoints but terrible capital ship defences.
