While that is true to a certain extent, it is also true that spacecraft cannot garrison the surface of an alien world, nor can they match the strategic might of planet-based weapons. Strike variant starships like _Argent_ and _Fury_ incorporated these realities into their designs, and combined orbital gunnery support with marine amphibious operations. The result is as formidable as it is deadly, because the forces that descend from space are comprised of the brave men and women belonging to the Skywatch Marine Corps. There is no fighting force on, over or under any planet known to man more feared. They don't charge out of landing craft. They don't repel out of helicopters. They dive out of orbit.

Ok i don’t think I understand the dimensions of Argent. I heard she was only 2700 ft long but can hold 32 ford class aircraft carriers. Those carriers are 1092 ft long!! Argent has to be longer that 2700’ 24:04

Hey Red Raider! Great to have you aboard! Keep in mind Argent is roughly 72 stories tall from the floors of her flight decks to the top of the Skywatch tower. She's also about 1700 feet at the beam. The main section and the flight decks are also "separate" volumes for purposes of both life support and carrying capacity. As the captain is fond of saying Argent is not going to win any fitness contests against destroyers or frigates, but once she decides to stay in a particular spot, she's tough to displace.

Boring...takes way too long to describe something. Gives way too much useless information!

It used to be called local color. Westerns are typical examples. It's the same as the CGI th as t most scifi is dependent on. Text or audio book need certain conventions to pull your imagination into the story. Without context, you could be listening to narratives of any battle series.
