CONSORT- CLASS ESCORT CARRIER, SOLOMANI
CONFEDERATION NAVY
The Consort class escort carrier dates back to the First Solomani Rim War
and was originally designed to provide fighter cover for important civilian
convoys in times of conflict. A number were later sold to larger corporations and converted into bulk carriers. Other examples went to provincial navies, client states and independent states not allied to the Imperium or Aslan. The Consorts were designed to carry up to fifty fifteen displacement ton light fighters which although not a match for a heavy fighter in one on ones were more than adequate when used in groups, and in concert with other convoy escorts, against most convoy raiders. In higher threat regions the fighter complement could be doubled due to the spacious nature of the hangers, though crew accommodations would become more cramped.-Antony, CoTI.
