Why self-deploying fighters still need a mobile base

A comparison with Star Wars separates fighter range from the carrier's operational jobs: rearming, repair, recovery, and moving the support base nearer the fight.

Notes

The opening treats Star Wars fighters as independent strike assets that can make a fast attack and withdraw. Hyperdrives let them reach a target without carrier transport, yet a protected mobile base still brings support closer to the fight. A Clone Wars-era Venator could rearm fighters, repair damage, and extract craft that could no longer return home independently. Self-deployment gets a fighter to the target, while nearby support lets it fly another sortie.
