''Stanter class Escort Carrier'' class system defense vessels serve with [[Uffan Strategic Space Forces]], the armed forces of the [[Uffan (world)]].  They are unarmored, unstreamlined dispersed structure hulls.  They rely on their five squadrons of system defense fighters to carry the fight to their enemies.  They float drifting throughout the system on long parabolic orbital tracks.  They have a very low power signature, the tiny fusion power plant and maneuver drive package only requires a pair of dedicated engineers.  The lack of combat agility is seen as a limitation of the design.  When they light up targets, usually from ambush the four massive missile barrages, combined with the virtual immunity to return fire, make them surprisingly effective for a relatively primitive design.

The Stanter class Escort Carrier is a warship.

  • It is a military ship and a system defense escort fighter carrier.

Description (Specifications)

Stanter class Escort Carrier class system defense vessels serve with Uffan Strategic Space Forces, the armed forces of the Uffan (world). They are unarmored, unstreamlined dispersed structure hulls. They rely on their five squadrons of system defense fighters to carry the fight to their enemies. They use their 6 G accleration to move out of danger as soon as possible.

Basic Ship Characteristics

Following the Imperial Navy and IISS Universal Ship Profile and data, additional information is presented in the format shown here. The small craft factor indicates the number of squadrons (of ten craft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (thousands of tons) where necessary. [1]
