Gatac Tyilui
Gatac's Tyilui turns Xi'an gravity craft into carrier doctrine: four snub fighters housed in a 360-degree rear hangar, 96 SCU reserved for rearm, repair, and refuel support, and enough defensive bite to keep a small strike wing moving.
Gatac's first dedicated alien snub fighter carrier.
Damn it's big
This one doesnt change :)
Did we mention it's big?

Meet the Tyilui
An alien carrier for snub warfare
Many Humans consider Xi'an design alien in every sense of the word. The Tyilui makes that difference operational: snub fighters cannot travel by quantum drive on their own, so Gatac gives them a carrier shaped by gravity mastery, ceremonial precision, and the confidence of an older starfaring tradition.
Carrier doctrine
Four snubs, one mobile hive
The Tyilui is not a Railen cargo variant. It is a new Gatac chassis built around an air-shielded rear hangar, four snub fighter bays, and cargo reserved for the repair, refuel, and rearm materials that keep those craft useful after the first pass.
- First dedicated alien snub fighter carrier from Gatac Manufacture.
- Four snub bays sit in a 360-degree rear hangar shaped by Xi'an gravity and magnetic craft.
- 96 SCU of support cargo can carry RMC, hydrogen, missiles, ammunition, and other service supplies.
- Official equipment includes 4xS4 pilot weapons, 2xS4 manned turrets, 2xS3 remote turrets, a remote tractor-beam turret, and 4xS2 plus 16xS1 missiles.
Operational profile
How the Tyilui fights
Carry
Quantum-limited snub fighters board the Tyilui so they can reach battles that would otherwise sit beyond their range.
Launch
A large rear door opens onto an air-shielded hangar where four snubs can deploy from the ship's gravity-shaped core.
Sustain
The 96 SCU support hold gives crews space for repair material, fuel, missiles, and ammunition used by rearm, repair, and refuel work.
Recover
Snubs return through the rear hangar, the carrier gathers its small craft, and the fleet can jump away before harassment becomes overcommitment.
Features
Carrier support by alien gravity
The Tyilui is for crews who want to be close to the fight without pretending to be the heaviest gun on the field. It supports snub fighters, distracts hostile attention, and turns a small swarm into a deployable fleet asset.
CARRIER
Four snubs forward
The Tyilui moves quantum-limited snub fighters to the fight, launches them from a rear bay, and recovers them before pressure becomes overcommitment.
GRAVITY
360-degree hangar
Xi'an anti-gravity craft turns the rear section into a walkable carrier chamber where walls and floors become part of the same launch environment.
SUPPORT
96 SCU service hold
Cargo space is reserved for the materials that matter to carrier work: RMC, hydrogen, missiles, ammunition, and other supplies for rearm, repair, and refuel play.
DEFENSE
Rear turret coverage
The Tyilui keeps the Railen's base defensive approach and adds top and bottom rear-facing remote turrets to protect the launch and recovery arc.
INTERIOR
Ready rooms and calm halls
Cave-like ready rooms, a grand rec space, turret reception rooms, and escape pods give snub pilots a composed route from combat intensity back into the ship.
GATAC
Alien support doctrine
The Tyilui is not trying to outgun a fleet. It supports the small craft that annoy, distract, and open the battlefield for the rest of the group.

Confirmed defensive and service fit
Tyilui has 4xS4 pilot weapons, 2xS4 manned turrets, 2xS3 remote turrets, a remote tractor-beam turret, and missile racks carrying 4xS2 plus 16xS1 missiles. Paired with 96 SCU of support cargo, the carrier has enough reach to protect launch and recovery without pretending to be a front-line gunship.

A 360-degree rear hangar
Four snub fighters berth in the Tyilui's rear section, surrounded by Xi'an anti-gravity craft that lets crew move around the whole space. The large aft opening and air shield make launch and recovery feel less like a dock and more like a controlled gravity chamber.

New chassis
Railen echoes, carrier purpose
The Tyilui may share visual language with the Railen, but its silhouette serves a different role. The rear of the ship opens into a large hangar door and air-shielded bay, shifting Gatac's familiar vertical elegance toward small-craft operations.
Rear hangar
Launch through the air shield
The large aft hangar door and air shield define the Tyilui silhouette, turning the rear of the ship into a dedicated carrier opening.
Pilot route
Ready rooms to shared hub
Snub pilots move from the hangar through cave-like ready rooms and into the central elevator space, cooling the combat edge before returning to the crew hub.Alien carrier form

Manufacturer history
Inside Gatac Manufacture
Gatac Manufacture carries House Gatak history into Human markets. The Tyilui belongs to that lineage: alien gravity craft made practical for Citizens who want to support snub pilots without forcing Xi'an technique into a Human frame.
Gatac ships are not novelty objects. They come from a culture that treated industrial logistics, access, and long-distance operation as serious imperial work.
With the Tyilui, Gatac gives Human and Xi'an crews a dedicated alien carrier for small craft that cannot cross the stars by quantum drive alone.
Ready rooms, a grand shared rec space, turret reception rooms, escape pods, and support cargo make the Tyilui feel like a carrier that cares for both pilots and pressure.

Origin story
House Gatak, carried forward
Among the major houses of the Xi'an Empire, House Gatak earned an industrial mandate through service, sacrifice, and logistical mastery during the Great Divide. Gatac Manufacture is the modern commercial face of that inheritance.
The Tyilui brings that protected tradition into Human markets without disguising its origin. It is vertical, deliberate, and ceremonial in the way Xi'an industrial ships can be: small craft carried with discipline, symmetry, and visible respect for the pilots who return to it.
Centuries of industrial craft
House Gatak's exclusive industrial role was not a fashion choice. It was earned by keeping fleets supplied when history became violent. The Tyilui translates that old responsibility into a support carrier fit for modern interspecies crews and fast-moving snub wings.
Practical, noble, adaptable
Snub fighters have courage, speed, and teeth, but no quantum drive. The Tyilui answers with Gatac certainty: carry them to the fight, launch them through the rear air shield, service them with onboard supplies, and collect them before the engagement turns against the swarm.
Two species, one route
Ready rooms, a calm shared hub, grand rec space, turret reception rooms, side-facing windows, benches, and escape pods make the Tyilui more than a hangar with engines. It is a working habitat for pilots and crew who may not share anatomy, but do share pressure.
Why it matters for Tyilui
The Tyilui is carrier logistics made strange.
The Tyilui matters because it makes alien technique useful without sanding it into Human sameness. Every gravity wall, ready room, rear turret, and air-shielded bay says the same thing in a different dialect: small craft become more dangerous when an older carrier mind is moving behind them.
Modern footprint
A carrier with cultural memory
Modern Gatac arrives with a narrow promise and deep confidence: support vessels shaped by the Xi'an Empire's longest transport traditions, now opened to UEE operators who want a carrier that feels stranger, calmer, and more deliberate than a Human launch bay.
The Tyilui's profile is not ornament for ornament's sake. Its 360-degree hangar, imposing arches, organic materials, and ceremonial quiet should feel recognizably alien because its solutions come from another starfaring grammar.
