The TCS Hades, formerly the TCS Valley Forge, is escorted by some of ConFleet's latest cruiser and destroyer models. This adds a good load of firepower to the rather old Concordia-class carrier. All ships together, the Hades itself being an experimental prototype quick strike cruiser with awesome firepower at its disposal, form one of TCN's mightiest carrier battle groups (given the new Plunkett and Murphy-class models and the fact that normally a carrier is only accompanied by one cruiser and two destroyers instead of two cruisers and three destroyers).

There is, however, not much to tell about the escorting capships as they have been commissioned just a few month ago. The following ships comprise Carrier Battle Group Auriga ( CVBG-A ):
