Actually, the Olympus 'Corvette' is an appreciable fraction of the size
of an Omega, at least in a scene in 'A Call to Arms' - one of the few
places you see one.

On a related subject - has anyone ever pinned down the 'missile firing
ship' that we see part of (the missile firing part) in ACTA? - it is
definitely not a defence grid satellite.

Just don't get me going on the AoG invented Mimbari designs - especially
the carrier - its a fat flying slug! I'm not impressed by the majority
of the other Mimbari designs either.
The AoG invented Brakiri designs are quite nice however (IMHO).

And I think if the EA _had_ a Posidon supercarrier at any point in the
timeline of the show we would have seen it! likewise for most of the
other AoG SDNs.
