| Description: |
The Illustrious Battle Carrier is one of the few Federation carrier units fielded during the period. A modification of a Constitution Refit Cruiser, the Illustrious replaces much of that ship’s sensor equipment with a second forward hangar bay. A continuous, pass-through hangar connects the two launch bays, allowing the ship to launch fighters and shuttles to both the fore and aft of the ship.
The Federation dislike of fighters limited their deployment in the fleet, but still several Illustrious Battle Carriers were built to meet immediate needs of Federation member worlds. Illustrious Battle Carriers never operated alone, instead being placed in larger fleets where they could be better protected.
