Overview
   In 3068 the SLDF captured the Ice Hellion Carrack-class vessel Maker. 
Mostly intact due to a swift marine action and with the former Ice Hellion crew accepting
bonds with the new SLDF the decision was made to move the vessel to the Dieron shipyards
where modifications could be made.

Capabilities
   At Dieron the Carrack-class vessel was examined in detail.  One of the first things
the engineers noticed was the Structual Integrity or the lack of.  Unable to rebuild the ship from
scratch they were able to add bracings throughout the vessel that would increase the strength
of the hull.  At the same time this allowed them to add more armour making the vessel overall
more durable.  This also involved them removing the NAC/20 from the fore arc as they added
more bracings to the forwards sections.
   Next they decided to add twelve aerospace fighters to give the vessel more options
 in a combat situation while increasing the size of the heat sink capacity.  This was done for one
reason, the engineers plan to increase the size and capacity of the Carrack's firepower.
   In total the engineers added eight class-55 Naval Lasers, twelve class-35 Naval
Lasers all split into double mounts.  They keeping four of the class-10 Naval Autocannons, one
per forward and aft arcs.  In the broadsides arcs they added four class-20 Naval Autocannons in
double mounts increasing the broadside firepower hugely.
   Using weapons bought from Clan Sea Fox the engineers had a chance to add conventional
weapons they added twenty-four Extended Range Large Lasers and thirty-two Large Pulse Lasers
for anti-fighter work in double and quad mounts arranged around the hull.  Finally thirty-two of the
forty Anti-Missile systems were retained for defence split into quad mounts spaced equally around
the hull.
   To add strategic mobility the engineers upgraded the K-F Drive with Lithium Fusion Battaries
allowing the vessel to make double jumps unlike the Clan version.  Finally, unfortunately, the engineers
were forced to remove the HarJel Hull sealant used on Clan vessels although they could have technically
kept the system with the Sea Foxes providing maintenance the SLDF did not want to have reliance on
any of the Clans even a "friendly one" like the Foxes.

Deployment
   There is only one type of this class of vessel, the SLS Maker, and unless the SLDF gain
access to the Clan fleets it will likely remain alone.

(not sure what is wrong with the Code section, it looked fine in the preview)

it's on CBT forum same post as this one and looks fine so not entire sure what went wrong, here's link to other post

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.
