Capsule: The Auxiliary Carrier is based on the well-known Action VI bulk freighter design, and it looks exactly like one from the outside. However, it is heavily modified to take military hardware such as armor, weapons and a full sensor outfit, but its primary weapon is its facilities to carry one starfighter squadron.

The modus operandi for the Auxiliary Carrier is to function as a convoy escort vessel, and its resembleance to a real bulk freighter makes it look more vulnerable than it is. Since its introduction by the Empire, Alliance attacks against convoys which they thought were only lightly protected, have sustained increased losses.
