The MS Bastion was a Maximusian Fortress-class naval "super-carrier" aircraft carrier which served as the flagship of the Maximusian Navy from 1954 until the ship was disabled during the Battle of the Galinios Sea. During the early days of the Great War, as Bastion was the nation's only full-sized aircraft carrier, it was dispatched to the northern Galinios Sea to maintain air superiority over the incoming Daryan fleet. On October 5, 1961, Bastion was critically struck by a Daryan torpedo bomber, taking on substantial water. Although the ship did not sink, it was irreparably damaged, limping back to the port of Iustitia City, where it was scuttled. The carrier remains at the bottom of Iustitia City harbor to this day.
