Atmospheric
Attack Carrier (AAC)
Siege Perilous
Class
Platform Overview:
The Siege Perilous class Atmospheric Attack Carrier
serves as the Group Operational Commander for a PRG during
battlegroup operations. The
AAC primary combat role is to destroy hostile tactical aircraft
and defensive stations on the ground. It ensures that the
skies are clear for dropships and other endo/exo-atmospheric
craft during beach-head establishment, provides close air
support (CAS) for Lancers on the ground, and destroys hostile
ground forces in the interdiction zone. In addition, the
AAC provides air traffic control for the PRG and directs
all High Guard movement onto the objective. Although it
is nearly as large as an XMC, the space on board an AAC
is devoted almost entirely to hangar space and crew quarters.
As a result, the AAC has limited value as a non-combat support
ship aside from directing ship-to-surface relief operations
from other platforms.
