Carrack-class Cruiser

The Carrack is an old design but is proven effective and as such, still serves in the Imperial Navy. It is modular in structure and very resistant to damage. Unfortunately this compartmentalization system takes up too much interior space to fit the Carrack with hangars. At only 350 metres in length, the Carrack is comparable with a Dreadnaught in firepower, which is the only reason this dimunitive ship is considered a light cruiser. It is also one of the fastest ship types in the Imperial Navy. It can carry 4 starfighters if the dropship is omitted, all on external racks. Generally, these few fighters are used for recon and patrol missions rather than defence. Rebel Carracks usually carry only two Z-95 Headhunters. Tractor beams are not part of the original configuration, but all late-era Carracks have been refitted with such.
