The class is described as carrier-like because it can project marines and other personnel well beyond the range of its primary weapons. It nevertheless retains the direct armament expected of a battleship. That mixed design suits a universe in which fleets must fight to survive the dangerous transit between operational areas. Heavy construction, void shields, and the will of the crew make the ship's mass part of its survival system rather than spectacle alone.
