This might be a bit of a long explination due to having thought out a fair bit of this ship and its 'past'.

The Rebel Super Carrier, Jack of Trades, is the personal ship and home away from his other home (Rebel HQ). The Jack of Trades is a refitted Colony ship that has seen heavy refitting from during the times when humanity left earth and began to colonize other planets. Originally named "Spirit of the Harvest" its crew and cargo being farmers and various equipment to colonize any world and begin to turn it into a planet to supply their and every other world with produce.
Not long after colonizing a planet the Spirit of the Harvest was sent away to be trashed and sat in the dock yards of the GFA's Naval space yards waiting for a fate that'd end in the destruction or repurposing of the colony ship. At the time the rebel faction still in its infancy boarded and took command of the ship, stealing it for their own purpose's and slipping away into slip space before the GFA's forces could coral the massive ship and apprehend the hijackers. At this time the current rebel leaders father was in charge of the Rebel forces and he, Ezekiel (no connection to my sona i just like the name), only a deck hand to over see his father during that time to eventually take over when his father gave up his position.
During its time with the rebel forces the Spirit of the Harvest has been refitted with twin MAC cannons, multiple defense turrets along its exterior, and its rear of the main part of the ship fitted with a great number of hangars for space crafts. During this time the Spirit of the Harvest was renamed by Ezekiels father to 'Spirit of Fire" but soon after giving his position to his son ten years later Ezekiel renamed it Jack of Trades. Along with being fitted with twin MAC's the Bridge was completely torn out and replaced with a massive 3 tier deck which housed the captain, bridge crew, and enough room for them to move around between missions.
The Jack of Trades boasts enough room to carry the entiriety of the Rebel forces and the majority of their vehicles. The jack of Trades is capable of re-entering the atmosphere but keeps mid way(ish) to allow itself to act as a battery position and cut the distance it needs to retreat should it have to cut its loses. The Jack of Trades belly can open up to reveal a holding area for up to 3 Heli-carriers like the Nidhogg.
The GFA treats the Jack of Trades as a myth to reassure its forces that nothing in space, theirs of otherwise, is bigger, more menacing, or otherwise a bigger threat than their Aegis Super Carrier. However word has spread amonst the ranks that the Jack of Trades indeed does exist and is a force to be feared.

Ok, think that's all i have. Sorry for being a bit wordy, had a fair bit to explain about the Jack of Trades Super Carrier. Took about 3 hours to model due to certain attentionto certain parts as well as its file size being a bit much for any of the three PC's at my disposal to handle.
Modeled in Google Sketchup 7.
Enjoy~

Yikes... and it's an imposing mass too...

OP
I think my original estimation for Length was 50+ football fields from back of thrusters to tip of nose. Forgot what the measure of depth was.

And those hugeass cannons...
FireFoxZero
~firefoxzero
OP
Forgot the 'guestimated' caliber. but the MAC's (Magnetic Accelaration Cannon)pretty much as a one hit on anything they hit. Oddly, were they able to strike a copy of the ship their on the round would pretty much gut the copy.

Good to be able to pierce the hide of something as tough as you...

OP
One would suppose. The MAC's while the Jack is in mid-ish atmosphere are capable of doing superb demolition of bunkers and hardened structures. It also does wonders on asteroid's.

And yet it can't make a good cup of coffee...

OP
That is untrue, the rebels have stolen and equiped only the best brand coffee maker with enough supplies to go with it.

Hah, wouldn't have thought that'd be their priority...

OP
Like any rebel group there are extremists, then the really weird extremists.
