The Starfleet Class Escort Carrier is a dedicated fleet support vessel designed to deploy and sustain large numbers of gunships in prolonged operations. Capable of servicing up to 50 gunships with full maintenance, re-arming, and crew support facilities, it acts as a mobile forward base for strike and interceptor wings. Its own armament provides robust self-defense and fleet screening capability, allowing it to protect its vulnerable complement while contributing meaningful point-defense and medium-range firepower to the battle line. Starfleets excel in carrier task forces, rapid-strike groups, and extended campaigns where sustained gunship operations are critical to victory.
