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.
