Developed before the supercarrier project began, the Norqacci Fleet
Carrier was designed in the mid-2220's as a "glory" ship
showcasing the strength of the Cascor navy and symbolizing the
spirit of Cascar herself.
The Norqacci was designed as a fleet flag vessel from which
Cascor admiralty could direct a battle while providing hangar
capacity in excess of the typical Cascor capital ship. Norqacci's
stay towards the rear of the fleet, assisting in a command and
tactical support role only. To this effect the ship was stripped of
most of its offensive weaponry, instead replacing the ship's volume
with expanded hangar decks and related equipment.
The Norqacci fleet carriers served valiantly during the Dilgar War,
though the lives of the few Norqaccis were cut drastically short--all
of the ships of this class were destroyed within the first few months
of war, the Dilgar actively seeking them out and destroying them.
The underlying theories behind the Norqacci proved to be solid,
however, and later demonstrations of Dilgar fighter might (in
particular the Garasoch and Mishakur-B carriers) lead the Cascor
to further develop the idea of the supercarrier after the war.
