The Griffon’s TIC operates like any other on the Akira Class but the Griffon’s was given the responsibility of being the primary strategic centre when the battalion is in combat. The TIC not only monitors all inbound and outbound flight, it is also responsible to coordinate all runabout traffic for the troops on the ground, the TIC also analyzes and sends intelligence gathered by the ships sensors, scout squad and recon platoon and sends the information to the Battalion HQ.

MFS Griffon General Overview
When Col Pugh reorganized the 1 MOAB structure and tactics to include the runabout as an effective tool to quickly respond to threats in the Zone, Col Pugh needed a ship that could make an effective carrier platform to launch the runabouts from. Even though the Maquis had made carriers from modified Miranda, Nova and Nebula class starships none of these seemed capable to serve the needs of the Battalion as the Miranda carriers could only hold 7 runabouts and the Nova Carriers could not hold the full compliment of the battalion and the few Nebula carriers in the fleet were converted from its original configuration, and with no communication from LP Defender and the Disappearance of the MFS Juno Beach, there was no time to wait for such a massive conversion project.
Col Pugh than turned to the Akira Class, originally designed as a carrier platform for the Kaneda Class Space Superiority Fighters that were close to the size of a Danube class Runabouts very few and quick modifications were needed to be made the Griffon’s flight bay to house the 1 RAS and the MES. Other modifications to the Griffon included. Additional armoires were added for the battalions weapons, modified sleeping quarters (Barrack style) to house the additional 641 marines of the 1MOAB.
Tactical Information Centre (TIC)
The Griffon’s TIC operates like any other on the Akira Class but the Griffon’s was given the responsibility of being the primary strategic centre when the battalion is in combat. The TIC not only monitors all inbound and outbound flight, it is also responsible to coordinate all runabout traffic for the troops on the ground, the TIC also analyzes and sends intelligence gathered by the ships sensors, scout squad and recon platoon and sends the information to the Battalion HQ. The TIC also has access to the ships weapons system providing the troops on the ground with artillery support. Because of the importance of the TIC the battalion XO is in command of the TIC and the Griffon since the CO is on the ground with the troops.
