Bengal-class Target Identification.

The Bengal Class was a Terran Confederation strike carrier design. It was included in Joan's Fighting Spacecraft Vega Sector Supplement for 2654.092. In 2642, the Terran Confederation military command determined the need for a heavy space carrier and authorized the design of the Bengal-class. The construction contract was awarded to the Trojan Four Spaceyards. The first Bengal launched was the TCS Tiger's Claw, in 2644. Following the launch of the Tiger's Claw the Bengal design was modified, reducing the overall length to 690 meters and the mass by several tonnes. The TCS Kipling, launched in 2645, reflected these changes. The fictional TCS Hornet's Nest was a Bengal-class ship.
