The '''[[Inferno Short Hand#Carrier|ACa]] ''Akrotiri''''' is a massive user-made [[Ancients|Ancient]] warship. Originally created for the [[Inferno Release 1]] mod, it has since been used in several unrelated mods to represent a warship of Ancient origin or another non-[[GTVA]] faction.

All information related to the ACa Akrotiri is non-canon.
Back to User-made Ships

The ACa Akrotiri is a massive user-made Ancient warship. It was originally named ASD Thera and created by Bobboau as part of his Ancient ships project. The model was first included in Inferno Release 1 with its current name, and it has since been used in several unrelated mods to represent a warship of Ancient origin or another non-GTVA faction.

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.

This is probably the most-used large ship that resembles the Ancients, or otherwise another powerful space-faring species. In Blue Planet, it is used as the Vishnan Sacred Keeper, and in The Procyon Insurgency's campaign, it is designated a juggernaut thought to be of Ancient origin. Despite its size, armaments and hull strength, this vessel 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 cannon, rendering it inoperable and making the Akrotiri more akin to an Ancient "Lucifer", with lots of hitpoints but terrible capital ship defences. The disabling of this cannon has apparently become a running gag across all campaigns and mods that include the Akrotiri in their ship table files.


The model features a number of trenches that turn into short tunnels, which in the original model had reactor subsystems placed at the end of each. The idea was for there to be a mission with a number of Death Star-like trench runs to disable the ship.
