Assault Carriers were designed to bring craft into a battle area. It aids in ground assaults by disabling and/or jamming ground targets. In large battles, they are usually covered by one or two Star Destroyers. They were built using the idea that a newer ship was needed to "free up" Cruisers and Star Destroyers. Though able to trade fire with the large battleships, Assault Carriers' main objective is to clear the way for deployment of it's many starfighters. Assault Carriers won't appear until at least 10 years after the Battle of Endor. This ship may seem to powerful for some people, but remeber that this is better rechnology then the ISD and MC80. I made this ship while looking at the stats for a ISD II and a MC90. The crew on this ship isn't a lot, because the New Republic has found ways to make the ships more efficient. I thought about giving the Assault Carrier backup shields, but decided not to.
