=====CVE - Escort Carrier===== | |||
Smaller, cruiser-sized shuttle carriers used to bring a much large number of shuttles -- including combat shuttles that are not part of most starship's standard shuttle complement -- into an area of operations. Because they are relatively cost-effective to operate than their larger fleet carrier cousins, they do see somewhat more, if still limited, use. They are more generally used by Starfleet for local support and emergency rescue missions when the ability to land large numbers of shuttlecraft can be an asset. However, when a large area of space needs to be patrolled and less sophisticated marauders or pirates contained the large number of fighters or Runabouts that a CV can carry often prove invaluable. | |||
