Description: With the advancement of the Echani territories have come the necessity for the advancement of the Echani fleet. One of the seriously lacking places in the fleet is in the area of troop and fighter transport. In response to this, an effort was made for the design and creation of a transport vessel to supplement the main fighting force while providing a handsome number of support fighters in the event of a battle. The result was the Avalon-class Combat Carrier.
For a vessel her size she is light on weaponry because a large amount of space has been dedicated to the hangar facilities. Additionally, she maintains a lighter hull to make her more maneuverable. To compensate for this, redundant shields were added in the event that one set goes down. Since the vessel is light in weaponry and armor, she has to protect herself and the craft she carries through shield defenses.
All-in-all, she's a good combat carrier to bulk up the fleet and provide necessary transport functions.
