The Gettysburg-class battlecruisers were large and imposing vessels. Their primary role was to act as flagships and command and control vessels. The Gettysburg-class cruisers shared a similar design to the Exeter-class Destroyers, although the Gettysburg cruisers were larger in size and more armed than the Exeter destroyers.

These ships were larger in length than the Bengal-class strike carriers and in addition to the ship's own weaponry, the Gettysburg carries a fighter squadron.

Famous ships of the class include the TCS Austin. The TCS Austin served as Admiral Tolwyn's flagship during the defense of Firekka and the First Enigma Campaigns. In the Wing Commander II: Vengeance of the Kilrathi time period, the Austin returned surviving pilots from the TCS Tiger's Claw home after the tragic loss of that carrier.
