Difference between revisions of "Cornerian Assault Carrier"

The Conerian Assault Carrier is the main planetary assault ship/carrier in the Conerian Navy. These old starcruisers use to be the workhorse ship in up until the Lylat Wars where it was replaced by the [[Pleiades-class Cruiser]]. The assault carrier has two large forward hangers that take up over three quarters of the hull. With these massive hangers it allows the ship to carry a impressive complement of fighters,dropships,guships,landmasters, and other vehicles. Their standard complement is usually 6 fighter squadrons,12 dropships/gunships,6 landmasters. These configerations can be easily changed for almost any misson profile. However with this large cargo capacity it lacks in armor. With out its shields even the smallest of fighters could devistate the ship. In addition to a weak hull these ships have a minimal arament, with only 2 forward anti-ship laser batteries and 6 anti-starfighter laser. 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 taskforce for a first response force. After the aparoid invasion[[Fox McCloud]] purchased a decomission carrier, due to lack of funds.
