Carrier
From FABT
Carriers are a class of warship designed to carry and deploy large contingents of drones, fighters, interceptors and bombers onto a battlefield, allowing for greater distribution of force in a naval engagement and, as has been observed by the turians in the First Contact War, the ability to swarm and overwhelm the fighting capabilities of a dreadnought(s). Typically escorted by more heavily-armed warships and part of a much larger task group, carriers possess light defenses, but strong kinetic barriers; this can vary depending on the type of carrier. Carriers, introduced by the Systems Alliance, has become an invaluable part of warfare, with the salarians adapting them almost zealously into their own navy.
