Escort carriers hold an entire TIE wing (six squadrons of 12 fighters each), almost always including at least one squadron of TIE interceptors.  Also, the carrier houses six Lambda-class shuttles.  The Escort Carrier was put into production after the Battle of Ton-Falk when the need for a dedicated carrier became apparent to the Imperial Navy.  This vessel is available a few years before the Battle of Yavin.
