Alliance Escort Carrier is an Alliance capital ship in Star Wars: Rebellion. The in-game encyclopedia says Alliance escort carriers do the same job as their Imperial counterparts. They carry and refuel wings of starfighters, which greatly increases the number of fighters a fleet can field. Their shielding is better than that of the Imperial models, but their firepower is fairly weak.[1]

In the game

The Alliance Escort Carrier costs 32 refined materials to build and 29 to maintain. It has a fighter capacity of 6 and a troop capacity of 0. Its shields have a strength of 200.[1] The infobox values come from the game data.[2] The 25th Anniversary Community Patch does not change them.[3]

The manual's ship table gives the same capacity: 6 fighters and 0 troops.[4]
