The '''G.F.S. Olympus''' is an [[Spacecraft Classifications#Olympus-Class|Olympus-Class Battleship]], a [[Galactic Federation|Federation]] capital ship designed to use an onboard [[Aurora Unit]], an organic supercomputer. The commanding officer of the ship is [[Fleet Admiral Castor Dane]]. Battleships of this class have smaller crews than most ships of a similar size due to the presence of the Aurora Unit. The space saved in crew support is used for more battle systems. The enormous vessel is powered by [[Fuel Gel]], making the scarce commodity of extreme value to the Federation military.
