Strengths:

• Can land on planets
• High number of squadrons

Weaknesses:

• Slow, ponderous for its size
• Rapid-fire turbolasers are only effective within half standard turbolaser range
• Repulsorlift generator failures must be repaired in orbit

Description: It was found that the old Duquesne chassis was inadequate in its role as a heavy frigate but, given the original chassis was a freighter, in today's regulatory environment, it could be salvageable in a different role, with mobility being sacrificed and also defenses and weapons, so that it could house six squadrons over the old chassis' one. Care has been made to ensure that no firing arc would be ignored, but it came at the cost of removing most long-range firepower from the equation. Of course, as a carrier, the Clicker is usually deployed with escorts, especially when used to support planetary campaigns. By enabling it to land on planetary surfaces, the repulsorlift generators enable the landing gears to be usable. Unfortunately damage to the repulsorlift generator must be repaired in orbit thanks to the nature of the repulsorlift generator.
