Based largely around a hollowed out and refortified skeleton of a Minotaur the Sphinx is the Hauler of the BDASC delivering fighter support to the battlefield. At 1,200m long it mirrors the Minotaur in length but differs greatly in firepower and tonnage due to being largely stripped down to support a greater carrying capacity. The BDA sports two Sphinx-class Carriers as of 2558 with a third under construction.

Sphinx carrier remain in the rear of engagements offering fighter support and strategic command over the battle. The lack of heavy armoring and relatively weak structural integrity means a single powerful enough attack could cripple the carrier and make its fighter complement non-deployable.
