Carrier

A carrier is a general starship classification, with warships of different sub-classifications within the fleets of CSA factions. Such a vessel is formally defined as "a large warship carrying fighters equipped with flight decks for takeoffs and landings". There are multiple classes of carrier within this general designation.
==Role==
Typically the size of cruisers or larger, the general combat role of a carrier in combat is analogous to a seaborne aircraft carrier; to deploy starfighters. Aside their fighter complements, carriers also possess weapons themselves, to protect themselves in combat when their fighters are unable to defend them. In planetary occupation missions, carriers are mobile deployers of ground forces to subjugate an enemy planet, launching dropships and top-cover fighters.
There can be multiple classes of carriers, such as Light Carriers, Carriers, Assault Carriers, Supercarriers. Carriers can be quite lengthy, some being over 50 or more kilometers in length.
