Alesia Light Carrier
Displacement: 4400 tonnes (Mass factor 44) 
Hull Type: Average (Hull Integrity 13)
Crew: 8 officer, 34 ratings (Crew Factor 3) 
Armament: 1xClass 1 Batteries
Sensors: Standard sensors, 1xFire Control
Defenses: 1xPDS, Armor rating 2
Drive Systems: Main Drive rating 6, FTL Drive
Other: 1xHanger with 6 fighters. 
Procurement cost: 1450 Million Noumisma
Ships in Class (2183): 19
Usual loadout is 1xstandard fighter group 

These are used in groups of 2-3, escorted by approx
4-8 other escorts.  My usual pattern for destroyer
squadrons has 1-3 Heavy Destroyers (In NRE parlance,
Destroyer Leaders) as flagship and heavy force.  These
are to surprise an opponent who's not expecting a
destroyer force to spew fighters.  Used mostly for
guarding fleet train and attacking enemy fleet train.
