Ton-Falk-class escort carrier

Last crawled date: 1 year, 9 months ago

The Ton-Falk-class escort carrier was a transport ship designed to carry Imperial starfighters, manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards. It was the primary carrier class used by the Galactic Empire, which was designed as a solution to the hyperdrive deficiency of its primary starfighters, during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Escort carriers were far more economical to deploy than Imperial Star Destroyers; carrying up to 72 starfighters at a time. Though a capital ship, it was poorly armed and armored relative for its size, so it stayed to the rear of battle for its own safety while allowing its TIE fighters to engage the enemy; the Enslaver-class picket carrier, on the contrary, is heavily armed and armored, and usually serves as a fontline vessel, while deploying almost as many fighters.
