STRENGTHS

• Carrier: The Nebulon Fire-class Light Carrier is first and foremost a fleet carrier, capable of transporting up to 52 starfighters and support ships within its armored hull
• Transport: The Nebulon Fire-class Light Carrier can also transport a fully armed company of up to 114 soldiers to and from the battlefield
• Firepower: The latest iteration of the Nebulon Fire-class Light Carrier is far more heavily armed than its predecessors ever were, sporting Assault Laser Cannons, Rotary Laser Cannons and Assault Concussion Missile Launchers
• Armored: For a ship of its size, the Nebulon Fire-class Light Carrier is surprisingly heavily armored, capable of taking a large amount of damage without being destroyed

WEAKNESSES

• Short range: Most of the weapons installed aboard the Nebulon Fire-class Light Carrier possess a short effective range, forcing the ship to get up close and personal with its targets
• Firing arc: The Nebulon Fire-class Light Carrier's longest ranged weapons, its "Can-Opener" Rotary Laser Cannons and Assault Concussion Missile Launchers, are affixed to a forward firing arc, preventing them from engaging anything behind or to the side of the ship
• Back line combatant: Though it is relatively heavily armed and armored, the Nebulon Fire-class Light Carrier is not designed to be a front line combatant, working best from the rear of fleet formations
• Microfractures: The Nebulon Fire-class Light Carrier is vulnerable to microfractures, requiring constant repair and maintenance

DESCRIPTION

Though it once represented the pinnacle of Mahporeenian naval design, the Nebulon Fire-class Light Carrier proved to be hopelessly outdated by 902 A.B.Y, and all Mahporeenian attempts to upgrade the vessel had resulted in failure, resulting in the Imperial Remnant seeking to replace the design with Laimar-class Stealth Carriers. Yet, thanks to the timely intervention of Bido Roz’lyn, the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant decided to make one final attempt to save the production line of the starship, believing that such a ship still had use throughout the galaxy.

The main upgrades applied to the Nebulon Fire-class Light Carrier revolved around giving the ship new armament. A total of eight Assault Laser Cannons were installed atop the vessel, and its laser cannons and turbolaser cannons were replaced with Spitfire Rapid Fire Laser Cannons and "Can-Opener" Rotary Laser Cannons, respectively. A pair of Assault Concussion Missile Launchers, usually seen installed aboard Battlecruiser sized vessels, was added to the ship to round out its armament, giving the Nebulon Fire-class Light Carrier the ability to engage starfighters, support craft and even capital ships far larger than itself while retaining its ability to carry 52 starfighters and support craft of its own.

Of course, even with its upgrades and improvements, the Nebulon Fire-class Light Carrier remains very much a "back line" combatant, albeit one that can punch above its weight class and surprise enemy fleets with powerful weaponry of its own, to say nothing about being less expensive to produce and manufacture than Laimar-class Stealth Carriers. Of course, the Laimar-class Stealth Carrier is still an impressive platform in its own right, and the Imperial Remnant has continued their efforts to acquire as many of the vessels as possible despite the upgrades provided to the Nebulon Fire-class Light Carrier.
