}}The '''Cornerian Assault Carrier''' is the main planetary assault ship/carrier in the Cornerian Navy. These old starcruisers used to be the workhorse ship in up until the Lylat Wars, where it was replaced by the [[Pleiades-class Cruiser]].  

The Assault Carrier had two large forward hangars that take up over three quarters of the hull. Having these massive hangars, allows the ship to carry an impressive complement of fighters, dropships, guships, [[Landmaster]] tanks, and other vehicles. Their standard complement is usually six fighter squadrons, twelve dropships/gunships, and six Landmaster tanks. These configurations can be easily changed for almost any mission profile. However, with this great cargo capacity, it lacks in defence. Without it shields, even the smallest of fighters could devastate these ships.  

In addition to a weak hull these ships have a minimal armament, with only two forward anti-ship laser batteries and six anti-starfighter lasers. They rely on fighter and frigate escort for protection. Although these carriers are not the primary cruiser anymore they are still in heavy use, mostly for planetary invasion. Most naval battlegroups have at least one carrier. The [[Cornerian Defense Force]] still has a full carrier task force for a first response force.  

After the [[Aparoid Invasion]], [[Fox McCloud]] purchased a decommissioned carrier, due to lack of funds. This would be the [[Great Fox|Great Fox II]]
