	Independence Class Battle Carrier
		Even though the CAF adopted the Wolfen Packmaster carrier as their standard carrier design, the ship had a huge amount of protest against it because it is a combination fleet carrier and assault landing carrier and many admirals feel that a carrier than does both jobs does neither very well.
		Admirals still prefer to keep the carrier out of the main combat and launch fighters from a long distance but due to combat situations, it is practical to be able to survive direct combat.
		The ship carries as heavy shields as could be mounted in the design and they are capable of taking the abuse from a battleship for a short period of time.
