The Lurenti class Battle Carrier is a rider-carrying warship.
- It is a military ship and a Battle Carrier.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
Usually not allowed to deploy without battleship escort, this unstreamlined dispersed structure design is built to deploy seven 20,000 ton Nolikian class Battle Riders and fifty Heavy Fighters. The fighters are intended to screen the ship when riders are being deployed and recovered, when the carrier is most vulnerable to enemy fire.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The heart of the battle squadron is the carrier. This 300,000-ton ship carries the Battle Riders of the squadron as well as the Fighter Division. The 154th was equipped with a Lurenti class Battle Carrier (...capable of carrying seven Nolikian class Battle Riders) soon after the end of the Fourth Frontier War. Heavily armed and armored, the carrier serves a battle control station as well as a centralized jump drive for the squadron. In addition to standard bridge facilities for ship operations the carrier is fitted with an extensive electronics and communications suite which enables the squadron commodore (as opposed to the captain of the carrier) to control and direct the components of the squadron in battle and while maneuvering.
