Analysis of the Construction of Supergiant Submarines in the Union of Yuktobanian Republics in the Year 2000 was a report published by the Osean Intelligence Agency's Advanced Weapons Analysis division on March 27, 2000. It concerned the construction of the successor to the Scinfaxi-class submarines (at that time referred to unofficially as a "Super Scinfaxi-class" submarine) by Yuktobania.

In the 1980s, the Osean Federation and the Union of Yuktobanian Republics were embroiled in an arms race revolving around their nuclear strategy initiatives during their cold war. As a means to realize their initiative, the Union of Yuktobanian Republics made great C in their development of stealth submarines intended for use as SLBM platforms. Of these designs, the Scinfaxi-class submersible aircraft carrier was one of the largest.

There are currently two Scinfaxi-class nuclear-powered submarines in service. The lead boat Scinfaxi was commissioned in 1995, and the second boat Hrimfaxi was commissioned in 1997. However, plans to construct a third submarine were confirmed in 1998, codenamed "Project Alicorn." The third boat was larger than the previous two, and classified as a "Super Scinfaxi-class" vessel suspected to be an ambitious design that combines the characteristics of the other two.

Movements observed at the closed city BSC-1 near Okchabursk provide evidence for this conjecture. Okchabursk became the home port of the two submarines after their commission, but the repairs and maintenance are done inside the 400 meter-class underground docks. However, since around 1999, sand carriers have been seen frequenting the underground docks, with an estimated 1,000 cubic meters of soil having been excavated per day. It is suspected that by the year 2000, a new underground dock had been constructed ranging from 600 to 700 meters. This new underground dock is likely being used to construct the Super Scinfaxi-class.

Due to its subterranean location, exact details are unknown, but it is clear from the steel and weaponry being delivered that the boat can operate as an aircraft carrier to field manned aircraft much like the lead boat Scinfaxi, and carries railguns as its main guns while also having some sort of strategic weapons projection capability. It is also suspected to be able to field UAVs as with the second boat Hrimfaxi, and to feature supercavitating underwater projectiles being tested in the Union of Yuktobanian Republics, a magnetohydrodynamic drive, and the ability to carry out amphibious assaults with special force teams or ground force teams by utilizing its enormous capacity.
