The Empire Class Fleet Carrier is a massive, purpose-built force projection platform designed to deploy and sustain large-scale gunship and strike craft operations across theater-wide campaigns. Capable of supporting up to 100 gunships with comprehensive maintenance, re-arming, magazine storage, and crew facilities, it serves as a true mobile airbase. Its formidable self-defense armament—among the heaviest of any carrier class—provides robust protection against missile salvos, drone swarms, and raiding forces, allowing it to operate closer to the front line than traditional carriers. Empire-class vessels are the cornerstone of expeditionary fleets, enabling overwhelming strike craft superiority deep in contested or hostile space while contributing significant screening firepower to the battle group.
