−	The descriptively named '''Escort Carrier''' was a transport ship designed to carry Imperial starfighters. The ship looked like a 500-meter box with a small rear protrusion to cover the ship's sublight engines. The Escort Carrier closely resembled Kuat's Super Transport series of container ships, and was probably derived from their design.	+	-- REWRITE --

−	A standard Imperial chute system provided for rapid deployment of TIEs and an onboard hangar allowed for minor repairs. The Escort carrier was the smallest vessel that could carry a full wing of starfighters (6 squadrons of up to 72 craft). Armament included 10 Taim & Bak H8 dual laser cannons and 1 Krupx VL-6 warhead launch system. Though a capital ship, it was poorly armed and protected relative for its size, so it stayed to the rear of battle for its own safety while allowing its TIE fighters to engage the enemy.	+

−	Being purpose-built, escort carriers were much more economical to deploy than an Imperial Star Destroyer. Higher priority convoys often had an escort carrier, along with a [[Nebulon-B Frigate]] and [[Corellian Corvette]]s. It was also common for escort carriers to perform mini-hyperdrive jumps within a system, dropping off a squadron of starfighters with each exit. This tactic made it difficult for Rebel Alliance or pirate pilots to predict where the next attack would come from.	+
