Description: The last word in Belt Alliance carriers, the Protector was designed after seeing the usefulness of multi-bay internal hangars used by the Dilgar during their invasion. Tired of having so many fighters picked off from their external docking rings, this slightly larger carrier could hold bigger numbers of fighters behind armored hangar doors. When the time was right the same docking posts used on the external rings could be extended and launch flights of fighters in relative safety. It was this extendable post that later became the main launching method of the Earth Alliance Thunderbolt fighter.
The Protector was far more focused a carrier than the Mediator, who also served as an assault delivery system. This carrier was built specifically with dozens of League race fighters in mind, as the Belt Alliance had good trade agreements with many of them. The internal hangar posts were easily modified to accept such purchased fighters as Narn Goriths or Brakiri Falkosis; but were primarily used to ferry Delta-Vs or the BA’s own Starfoxes.
