Moff Rulduk has realized that the Imperium has been suffering tremendously due to their ships inability to scramble fighters quickly enough to match Yaeger threats. Typicaly, Yaeger Hunters and other light craft make fast strikes against Imperial craft, often taking out the docking bays before they were able to release any fighters, and then wreak havoc amongst the heavier craft.

The Cordon carrier is designed to keep the Yaeger from gaining that advantage. It is designed to mount the fighters on the outside of the hull, and it can release them in the space of seconds. They carry enough pilots to keep the TIEs constantly manned, and thusly have no need to have to hurry to launch the fighters. However, due to Imperial mentality, all the pilots change shifts at once, and the Yaeger have been known to launch attacks in the few minute long window of the changing of crews, making sure to keep the ships from broadcasting any information that might point to the reason for their weakness.

Guruk system yards has only produced ten of these craft, and three of them have been destroyed by Yaeger attacks. Due to the shipyard's limited capacity, no more Cordons are scheduled for construction, though other carrier models are being considered by the yard's executive board.
