Intent: To develop a very large starfighter carrier for the Empire
Development Thread: none
Hero Unit: No
Manufacturer: Mon Calamari Shipyards
Model: Retiarius-class Fleet Carrier
Affiliation: The Empire
Modularity: minor customization
Production: Minor
Material: durasteel
Description:
The Retiarius is equipped with some anti-starfighter weaponry on par with other capital ships, including the general purpose missile launchers which can fire 1 proton torpedo per launcher or 10 concussion missiles per launcher, but it lacks any heavy weapons such as turbolasers that can be used effectively against other warships. Instead, it relies on its massive compliment of starfighters and bombers to protect it against enemy ships. Another configuration of the carrier makes it suitable for planetary assaults. It is equipped with jammers capable of cutting off communication within a 400 kilometer radius at their maximum range. It also wields a gravity well projector.
