The Titan carries sixteen tons of AC/20 ammunition and twelve tons of LRM missiles. Consisting of eight Pontiac 20 Autocannon/20's and twenty-two BlazeFire Large Lasers backed up by six Delta-X LRM-20 launchers and ten Hellion-b Medium Lasers, the bulk of the weapons are forward facing, most grouped in the Titans nose, though at least one AC/20 and LRM-20 cover the aft quarters of the craft. Armament įor a "mere" fighter carrier, the Titan carries an impressively large weapons array, exceeding even the arsenal of the Achilles-class assault ship. He also provides fighter pilots with tactical information during battle from his command post on the ship's bridge. The CAG's responsibilities include positioning the ship for the launch and retrieval of fighters, though he has no say in running the ship outside these operations. ĭesigned with fighter pilots in mind, the Titan is focused almost entirely on supporting its fighter complement, either with its relatively roomy and luxurious crew quarters, large flight decks or extensive tactical station for the ship's CAG (Commander Air Group). Despite the risks of a single craft carrying such a large volume of fighters, the Titan's heavy armor and extremely strong weapons array greatly minimized them, at least until the indiscriminate warfare of the Succession Wars none survived outside the Clan Toumans. Frequently assigned escort duty for WarShips, Titans have been known to act independently as system patrol craft.
Transporting the AeroSpace Fighter complement of an entire battalion, a single Titan is often enough to overwhelm the fighter defenses of a Jump Point or planet.
The Titan-class DropShip was one of the largest fighter carriers employed by the Star League Defense Force.
