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 The Procyon Insurgency, the Akrotiri is classified as a juggernaut instead of a carrier, and in Blue Planet: Age of Aquarius, the Akrotiri is re-skinned and used as the Vishnan Sacred Keeper.

The ACa Akrotiri, as seen in Inferno Release 1.
The AJ Akrotiri, as seen in The Procyon Insurgency.
The ACa Akrotiri, as seen in the Ancient-Shivan War.

Description:

Inferno Release 1 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 Procyon Insurgency Tech Room Description

This massive juggernaut was encountered at the end of the PCA insurgency in early 2369, just as Admiral Dasmar shut down the newly discovered Knossos portal in Procyon. Allied forces took down the warship despite sustaining heavy losses. The exact specifications of this vessel have been classified Level Phi.

Veteran Comments

Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.


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.
