In Mobile Suit Gundam Seed, the standard spacegoing warship of the Earth Alliance's OMNI Enforcer is the 250-meter class warship, a vessel of which OMNI has no shortage.
It is heavily armed with no fewer than three twin and one single main beam gun turret, as well as eight twin secondary beam gun turrets. The ship's crew is housed in an armored centrifuge in the midships section, which is evacuated and shut down during combat operations. The 250-meter class warship also carries a number of mobile armours, but predates linear catapults and so does not have a catapult to launch its mobile armours with. Because of this, the standard operating procedure for 250-meter class ships is to launch mobile armours at the first sign of trouble and then to advance with them into battle. Between Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny, the class is upgraded with the addition of two linear catapults, making them effective (though small) mobile suit carriers. Because it was impractical to expand these ships' cramped hangar bays, facilities were included to handle and launch mobile suits from a prone position (much like the launchers used by the Principality of Zeon.) Even so it remained a tight fit.
