The Firebird is the Russian equivalent of the Phoenix, literally translated as "Heat Bird" ( 'жар-пти́ца' ).

Brilliantly done Sir.

That is a lot of auxillary ships how large is the Phoenix you just listed a starbase worth of shuttles

 That is only 30 vessels.

 The Avenger class Fleet Star Cruiser ( http://www.stowiki.org/Fleet_Star_Cruiser#Avenger_class ) is 856 meters long x 402 meters wide x 275 meters high, comprising 25 decks. Has 2 shuttle bays.

Far from it Sorripto; a starbase has hundreds of shuttles. Starbase Lotus for example has routinely 500 shuttles available to it.

Looking at it's size/number of decks ratio and personnel complement, it is at least as large as a Galaxy class which sported:

• At least ten personnel shuttles or five runabouts with living quarters module
• At least ten cargo shuttles or three runabouts with no modules
• Twelve shuttlepods, unless otherwise replaced by personnel shuttles
• Two Sphinx Workpods
• Three Work Bees
