The Sev'rance-class Light Carrier is an exceptionally reliable vessel commissioned by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Devised by the design teams of Druckenwell Shipyards, the vessel was built with the role of safely ferrying starfighters into battle. To this end, the overall durability of the vessel was paramount; for a flimsy hull and frame composition would result in unnecessary losses in the midst of battle. As such, construction of the Sev'rance-class Light Carrier began with a selection of metals known for their durability. Utilized in other capital ships designed by Druckenwell Shipyards, the vessel enjoys a reinforced hull and frame composed of three key metals: Durasteel, Turadium, and Quadranium. Together, these allow the vessel to take an impressive sum of punishment in the event of a shield droppage; thereby making room for possible evasive, retreat, or counter-offensive maneuvers. Durability aside, another concern associated with the role of the Sev'rance-class was the variety of potential threats the ship would face whilst on the field of battle.
To this end, the vessel's armament was specifically selected in order to have the most versatility given its support design. The focal point of this selection are its three, deck cannon emplacements; which can fire ion and mass driver ordnance simultaneously. Against starfighters and smaller assault vessels, these are invaluable; whilst the Sev'rance-class' defensive armaments are poised to grant it additional protection from starfighters and other ordnance. On the subject of complement, the design team of Druckenwell Shipyards saw fit to dedicate the totality of the vessel's hangar space to starfighters; forgoing inclusion of dropships and gunships as a whole. Through this, the Sev'rance-class can hold a larger quantity of starfighters than if it were ferrying dropships or gunships alongside them. In addition to this, the starfighter selection for the vessel are entirely droid starfighters; which are intentionally smaller, lightly armed, and devoid of hyperdrive or shield units. Through this, any vessel within the Confederate fleet can accommodate fifty percent more than what would normally be held in a typical hangar space. However, despite the increased capacity, the starfighter complement is not equipped with the defensive measures and half the armament of a standard starfighter, thereby leading to a pronounced susceptibility to defensive emplacements on capital ships and offenses by enemy starfighters.
As a whole, the Sev'rance-class Light Carrier, named for a famous, Chiss officer of the original incarnation of the Confederacy, is a durable and dependable vessel for ferrying starfighters to any naval engagement.
