Examples

“armored personnel carrier”

“In fleet combat, carriers stay⟳ clear of battle, launching fighters bearing disruptor torpedoes. Fighters are the primary striking power of the ship; if a carrier enters mass accelerator range of the enemy, things have⟳ gone very wrong. It is possible to recover⟳ and rearm fighters during combat, though most carriers seal the flight deck and try⟳ to stay⟳ out of the way. The flight deck is essentially a corridor through the armor and into the heart of the vessel. A single well-placed torpedo is enough to gut a carrier. Alliance carriers are named after great leaders, artists, and intellectuals from human history.”
