STRENGTHS
Gravity Well Projectors
Much like the Interdictor II class Cruiser - the Carrier Variant still holds two Gravity Well Projectors - these projectors are utilized to drag vessels out of hyperspace through the production of mass shadows. Likewise they can be used to prevent vessels from escaping into hyperspace and cut off their avenue of retreat.
Starfighter Squadrons
The Interdictor II class Carrier is a vessel more dedicated towards the deployment of starfighters - which is to this end this vessels greatest strength. It is capable of deploying multiple starfighter squadrons into the fray to assist in protecting itself as well as vessels it is working alongside of from enemy starfighters and smaller craft.
WEAKNESSES
Dorsal and Ventral Structure
Much like its sister design of the Interdictor II class Cruiser - the Carrier variant still maintains the Dorsal and Ventral super structures that split this vessel in half. If sufficient firepower were levied against these areas, it could have the potential to either cripple or outright destroy the vessel.
Limited Armament
The Interdictor II class Carrier is more focused on its capabilities of carrying starfighters than on its capability of its own armaments. Thus due to its limited amount of weaponry, the Carrier variant is heavily dependent upon its starfighter squadrons and escort vessels for added protection.
DESCRIPTION
The Interdictor II class Carrier is a design that somewhat deviates from the original cruiser design of the Interdictor class - being that much of its armaments and two of the gravity well projectors have been removed in favor of an expansion of its hangers to facility additional carrying capacity of starfighters and shuttles. This also means that in terms of cargo capacity and passengers - it is lacking in comparison to its sister design - the Interdictor II class Cruiser.
While it maintains some systems of the Interdictor II class Cruiser - such as two gravity well projectors - it has its own downsides to its design. The primary being the downside shared by the Interdictor line - the large dorsal and ventral structures that split the vessel into two sections; however, unlike the Interdictor II class Cruiser - the Interdictor II class Carrier is more capable of dealing with smaller vessels that may utilize this weakness due to its expanded starfighter compliment.
For the most part this vessel is intended to be seen working alongside the Cruiser variant of the Interdictor series in service of the Order of the Seven Flames.
