The Defender class Assault Carrier is essentailly a fighter platform with an small arsenal limited to dealing with starfighters. Capable of carrying two Republic starfighter wings, however they are usually a mixed bag of different kinds of fighters while few are dedicated of carrying the deadly K-Wing bomber that's not to say it can't. On the Fifth Fleet the Assault carriers had three E-Wing squadrons and Defender starfighters. In addition to carrying starfighters, the hanger bays on the Assault Carrier are capable of carrying Assault Shuttles and other personnel transports.
