{{Quote|Core Dynamics Farragut-Class Battle Cruisers represent the cutting edge in military technology. A single FCB can carry several squadrons of Federal Fighters and multiple Federal Corvettes across hundreds of light years without any difficulty.

{{Quote|The Federation's capital ships are brutal, practical war machines inside and out. Airtight doors split the interior into many separate compartments. Grab-handles abound, as do access panels and all the paraphernalia of a military vessel. There would be no mistaking a Federal ship's interior with an Imperial one.|''The Art of Elite Dangerous''<ref name=":0">''The Art of Elite Dangerous'', August 17 2016</ref>}} | {{Quote|The Federation's capital ships are brutal, practical war machines inside and out.

The Farragut Battle Cruiser is over two kilometers long, heavily-armed with classified weaponry, and equipped with hangars capable of transporting multiple [[Federal Corvette]]s and [[F63 Condor]] squadrons. It is equipped with a capital-class [[Frame Shift Drive]] with an undisclosed jump range. The [[Federal Navy]] uses the Farragut as an integral part of its Intervention Fleets, which are used to investigate and intervene in larger-scale conflicts.<ref name="EE">''[[Elite Encounters RPG]]''</ref> | The Farragut Battle Cruiser is over two kilometers long, heavily-armed with classified weaponry, and equipped with hangars capable of transporting multiple [[Federal Corvette]]s and [[F63 Condor]] squadrons.

Since the outbreak of the [[Second Thargoid War]] in 3303, multiple Farragut Battle Cruisers have been destroyed by [[Thargoid Interceptor]]s due to the former's vulnerability to [[Thargoid]] shutdown fields. Since the anti-xeno countermeasures developed for smaller ships have proven prohibitively difficult to scale-up for capital ships, the international research and defence organisation [[Aegis]] has declared that capital ships are ineffective at protecting outposts, planets, and shipping lanes from Thargoid attacks at present. Instead, anti-Thargoid efforts have been spearheaded by militias of personal-scale craft.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/59f30dd4826c1776ca623242 GalNet: Galactic News: Capital Ships Vulnerable to Thargoid Attack]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/59fb5178adf339781710741f Community Goal: Operation Andronicus]</ref> | Since the outbreak of the [[Second Thargoid War]] in 3303, multiple Farragut Battle Cruisers have been destroyed by [[Thargoid Interceptor]]s due to the former's vulnerability to [[Thargoid]] shutdown fields.
