Kiev Light Fleet Carrier

BARD PAPER: SARA5075

Kiev Light Fleet Carrier

The Kiev class light fleet carrier were originally laid down as the Independence class towards the end of the First Solomani Rim war. The names were changed following the loss of Terra to the Third Imperium at the end of this conflict. Also as a consuquence the Third Imperium recovered a number of almost complete Kievs from yards on Terra and these entered service with the Imperium.

The Kievs have a relatively low endurance and the fighter complement as originally planned was considered inadequate, being ten light recon fighters and thirty heavy fighters, typically this was doubled at the cost of some overcrowding in crewspaces.
