Carrier

Carriers are designed to carry large numbers of small combat craft (under 100 tons), which in turn attack the enemy’s combatants or world surfaces.

Imperial Carrier Classes

• Fleet Carrier:
  • VF-11: The massive VF-11 was produced to provide support for the vast numbers of fighters that fleet tactics required. The size and design of the VF-11 call for an independent refueling tanker, the TV-11.
  • VF-12: The technological development of the VF-11 into the VF-12 also called for a similar tanker, but rather than design a new vessel, the TV-11 was used without change.

• Strike Carrier
  • VS-13/-15: The VS-13/-15 series is a new line of carriers designed independent of the VF-11/-12 series.

• Light Carrier
  • VL-15: The higher-tech trend is to smaller carriers. The VL-15 light carrier

• Pocket Carrier
  • VP-15: Even smaller than the light carriers is the VP-15 pocket carrier continuing the higher-tech trend to smaller, more inexpensive vessels.

Other Carriers

• Heavy Carrier
• Fleet tender (tenders are intended to carry 100+ ton combat ships).
