The Wyvern is based on documents detailing the design of the ancient Raata empire's seafaring flagship, the Oryioni-Haru. According to historical sources the ship was traditionally taken on parade runs between the continent of Tikiona and the Muriyuke archipelago, seat of the Emperor, and represented the pride and joy of what would one day become the Caldari State. Today's starfaring version gives no ground to its legendary predecessor; with its varied applications in the vast arena of deep space, the Wyvern is likely to stand as a symbol of Caldari greatness for untold years to come.

Summary
The Wyvern is the shield equivalent of the Amarr Aeon class supercarrier. In the current capital meta, shield is not used as much as armor for a multitude of reasons, however a true shield versus armor full on capital brawl has yet to manifest in recent days to sort out the answer of "shield or armor" for supercapital fights and settle the score.

Notes
The wyvern is a sub-type of dragon, or a dragon-like creature, originating in art and legends from the Mediterranean rim. It is common in European heraldry, where it is typically depicted with an arrow-shaped tip on its tail.
Increased the Supercarrier Armor Plate and Shield Extender role bonus to 400% (from 200%).
Version 18.11 - Build: 1842315 - 2020-11-10.1 - "Dynamic Frontiers" / "Vat Out of Hel" Update (Patch Notes)
As part of the Phoenix Quadrant, a big update to Supercarriers is coming to EVE Online on 10 November, introducing the new Tactical Capsuleer Recloner, stunning new visuals, and added ship balance for these behemoths of New Eden! - CCP Convict, Vat Out of Hel news article
Fighter damage bonus increased from 5%/level to 7.5%/level (+2.5%/level)
Increased Ship Maintenance Bay capacity from 2,500,000 m³ to 5,000,000 m³ (+2,500,000 m³, +100%)
There is a vision for a Capital ecosystem with clear escalation steps based on distinct roles for each class. Part of that vision relies on moving Super Carriers and Titans away from all-purpose damage to a specific focus on Capital and structure killing. You will have seen one big step in this direction recently with the removal of High Angle Weapons from Titans. Now, substantial changes are being made to Super Carriers as well, but there is also an acknowledgement that Super Carriers need more to set them apart from Titans and Dreadnaughts as Capital killers before their Subcapital damage application can be fully removed. For now, their fighter tube loadout will be rearranged to promote more class diversity in your local Super umbrella and decrease long range Heavy Fighter damage application. -Surgical Strike Dev Blog
