Strike-class medium cruisers normally carry a squadron of TIE
fighters (12 craft) for space superiority and escort as well as two AT-STs
and one AT-AT in addition to its troop complement. These cruisers
are actually modular in design and variants can be specialized as light
carriers (two squadrons of TIE fighters, bombers, or interceptors), ground
assault ships (5 AT-ATs, a walker platoon), or troop transports (up to
an Army battalion). Strike-class medium cruisers first came
into service several years before the Battle of Yavin using much more modern
technology than the Dreadnaught-class heavy cruisers and Carrack-class
light cruisers; thus, the Strike actually has a stronger hull, better,
shields, and heavier armament than a Dreadnaught despite technically
being a smaller vessel.
