Escort Carrier

Once it became clear that the Rebellion and their snubfighter tactics were a threat to Imperial convoys, the Escort Carrier was created.

It was slow and had few weapons. The main defence was the wing of TIE series starfighters it could carry. They would mostly be TIE/ln Fighters as opposed to newer models.

The vessel would travel with merchant fleet convoys and send out starfighter squadrons if they were attacked.
