Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Force Unleashed Campaign Guide
With the TIE Fighter overtaking other starfighters as the Empire's weapon of choice, the need to transport entire squadrons of fighters quickly across the galaxy became apparent very quickly. After some rather embarrassing defeats due to a lack of TIE Fighter support, the Imperial Navy quickly commissioned Kuat Drive Yards to craft a ship capable of serving as a fighter launch platform.
The result is the Ton-Falk-Class Escort Carrier, a ship that can launch and store TIE Fighters at a much faster rate than other Capital Ships can. Though lightly armed, the Escort Carrier can disgorge starfighters at an incredible pace, making it easy to flood the battlefield with fighter support in a matter of seconds.

Tactical Fire[]
An Escort Carrier is an excellent starfighter support vessel, designed to ensure that its complement of starfighters reaches the battle as quickly as possible, including carving out safe movement lanes with its lasers. As a Standard Action, a Ton-Falk-Class Escort Carrier can forgo all attacks to provide Tactical Fire to all adjacent squares. All allied Starfighters that begin their turns within this area increase their speed by 1 square until the beginning of their next turn.
