Resolute-class light carrier (EXverse)

The Resolute-class light carrier was a subclass of the with emphasis on transport and light escort duties. Built for UNSC Navy, which needed a light carrier with the same upkeep costs of the Marathons, Resolutes had the same superstructure and armor of the main class but any missiles, lesser nuclear ordnances and more Ramparts; the empty space left by missiles were filled by additional hangars and passenger quarters, which could transport more personnel and equipment than the main class. As contemporary carriers, Resolutes could be deployed in two configuration based on the mission, one concerning carriage of ground troops and equipment and air support, the other naval escort.
With the Human-Covenant War Resolutes demonstrated all their inadequacy, as they were too lightly-armed for that size and they weren't enough numerically. As such the Navy used them rarely in offensive operations, preferring instead to keep them on the defensive. The only value belongin to the class was the MAC guns, which were the same on the Marathons and, so, they were powerful enough to confront light-to-medium Covenant vessels. By 2549, in any case, all 105 ships were destroyed in battle.
