STRENGTHS

• Hangar: While most ships of its size don't even have the space for hangars, the FarStar-Type CR-37 manages to hold several full squadrons of fighters with space for diplomatic or other shuttles via docking tubes by dedicating most of its midsection to a single, massive, dual entry hangar.

WEAKNESSES

• Classic Engine Blind Spot: The large engines indicative of the CR-Series not only block lines of sight for gunners but also are left unprotected by weapons.
• Limited to Anti-Starfighter Weapons: Equipped with anti-starfighter weapons and two concussion missile launcher tubes, there is no way the ship could fight head-on with other capital ships without support or incredible pilots.

DESCRIPTION
The Aethon is a CR-37 FarStar-Type Corellian Carrier that was acquired by the New Jedi Order for the quick transport of starfighter squadrons, serving as a quick method of deployment and temporary command in naval combat. Developed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, the Aethon's primary function is the transport of starfighters, providing a great deal of flexibility, but is limited in it's offensive capabilities, requiring other vessels to provide a defensive escort. Despite this, it's smaller size and high carry capacity makes it an effective vessel for surprise attacks and smaller operations.

Alrighty then I'll be taking care of all your judging needs today!

So I ran the numbers and put it through our super secret system and it came back as like -3 points underpowered. I can approve it like that if you want but in my opinion? Up maneuverability by one and defense by two seems to be logical as a carrier should have robust defense so it doesn't have to rely solely on its fighters.

Hit me back up when you have made your decision/changes and we'll go from there.
