The carrier of the Taiidan was the Saarkin-Cho-class Carrier. It was able to hold 50 fighters and 25 corvettes at once, as well as construct frigates and smaller vessels. It was lightly armed, slow, and features a long build time and high cost, making it a valuable but ill-defended target to enemy forces. The carrier primarily serves to provide additional production and repair facilities closer to the front lines, allowing new units to be produced and damaged units to be repaired with minimum turnaround time.
