Description
Despite the Confederation's near-limitless population, strikecaft never played a large role in military doctrine, Instead focusing on meaty, speedy warships with point defense. But one job warships fail at is interception - by the time strikecraft get in a ship's defensive envelope, they have already likely dropped their ordinance, leaving the defenses focused on taking down the incoming warheads rather than the outgoing bombers. Thus carriers, and their compliment, remain relevant purely through the catch-22 of interceptors - have them and not need them, not have them and leave yourself vulnerable. Better to bring along a full airwing. Never know what your enemy might - or might not - have.
///
The Helmholdtz-class escort carrier is a perfect example of this doctrine - small, fast, and light, with little room for more than a handful of fighter wings. Additionally, it can bring light strike capabilities and force projection over Naviin colony worlds - when they aren't in service over the Minova Objects, of course.
