Ship's complement:

Note: The given numbers are approximations; the exact number varied somewhat due to operational realities and different ships.

Dimensions:   

Propulsion systems:

Note: because of the location of the thrusters, the Gloval-class is generally incapable of using its reaction engines when an object is in the scaffolding. However, it is possible to tow another vessel if that vessel's engines can be brought at least partially on-line, or if the vessel's mass is significantly less than the Gloval's. However, folding to a safe location with the crippled vessel is the preferred action.

Endurance and mobility limits:

Weapon systems:

Air group and mecha complement:

(circa 2063)

(Space Naval Air Group)

(Space Marine Unit)

Note: The given numbers are approximations; the exact number and type of mecha varied somewhat due to operational realities and different ships. Additionally there are always a number of mecha in storage awaiting delivery to various locations across the fleet.  These mecha can be made combat ready in a short period of time, though there is a lack of trained combat pilots onboard the factory as most pilots are shuttle pilots or ferry pilots.

Electronics Systems and Special Equipment:
