| Description: |
Using the same basic hull as the Assault Cruiser, this is its sister ship in many ways. The removal of the assault pods has allowed for the extension of the hull and the hangar bay, and this enables the ship to carry 36 Padishah or Shirkhan fighters into action. The Heavy Lasguns have been replaced with Type-S Missile Racks, as these are more flexible in combat. The Missile Racks are often loaded with flash missiles to help protect the Fleet Carrier from enemy fighter attacks. In addition, two Vulcan Railguns have been added to the aft of the ship for defense.

| Design Notes: |
| An uncommon variant design in the Imperium, its role has been questioned extensively by the Spacing Guild as normally fighter support would be provided defensively through planetary facilities or during an offense they would be based on the Guild transport vessel. |
