The G.C.S. Phantom Shrieker

The Galactic Confederation Ship Phantom Shrieker is the first production Insanity Class Cruiser. At 43 meters* long (129 studs,) 32 meters wide and the back (96 studs,) and about 10 meters high it is the largest Space Grade Cruiser in the Confederation. While shorter that even a Star Grade Corvette the G.C.S. Phantom Shrieker has more fire power than most Star Frigates. It also supports a full squadron of (12) FL-430 "Fang" fighters, 3 NX-214 "Decapitator" bombers and 3 open top landing skiffs carring and elite strike squad. All auxillary and support craft are, like the Phantom Shrieker itself, capable of atmospheric travel and terrestrial landing. The landing skiffs can not conduct atmospheric entry and must be realeased after the ship itself has done this. They are however cabable of traveling through space at sublight speeds.

* It should be noted that for minifig scale I count 3 studs as equaling 1 meter.

The completed cruiser.	Aft view of the completed cruiser.	The bridge celing pannel removed. Notice the door in the corner. If mini-figs could walk they could go through that door and walk down a short corridor to the docking bay.
Aft view with the bay doors open and the top pannel removed to let light in.	The initial base complete with one brick layer of the internal walls. Bay doors are in the open position. You can clearly see the ground skiffs in their uncompleted docking ports. Attached to the back of the two side skiffs are the ZC-73 "Panther" walkers. You can also see the bridge viewscreen and the various bridge stations. From left to right: Ops, Tactical, Helm, and Force (fighters, bombers, and ground squad) coordination. In the middle is the Command Chair with the Admiral seated.	Front view of the same construction phase. You can easily make out two flight groups of FL-430 "Fang" fighters. The green pillars are only to hold the top piece of the bay doors in place and are not part of the finished model.
First deck walls completed. This is the orientation that the "Fang" fighters use in the completed model.	Under side picture at the construction phase shown at right. The ship is leaning slightly forward on the gray bin. This is fundamentally the same as the completed model except for the main guns and smaller weapon nodes on the sides mirroring the top of the completed model.	Second deck complete with one brick layer walls. You can see the NX-214 "Decapitator" bombers in their uncompleted ports. You can also see the top two flight groups of "Fang" fighters. This is the orientation they use in the completed model.
