It's Shivan
So what? Shivans magicly don't need space for their fighters and pilots?
You have any idea just how much space fighters take? Their ammo? Spare parts? the Pilots? The flight crew? Not to mention thah more crew = bigger messshall, bigger food/cargo storrage etc..
As a case in point:
----------------- Nimitz (332m)-carrier--------- Iowa (276m)-battleship
CREW:----------3184+2800 ---------------------1518
Max. speed------30knots------------------------35knots
Armament:-------3x8 Sparrow missile---------9x406mm cannons
--------------------4x Phlanax -------------------12x1227mm cannons
-----------------------------------------------------8x4 Tomahawk missile
-----------------------------------------------------4x4 Harpoon missile
-----------------------------------------------------4x Phlanax
