Capsule: The Jandin-built escort carriers were much more standardized than their Fanjin-built counterparts. The initial Archer class (which comprised the FNASS Archer, FNASS Avenger, FNASS Biter, FNASS Charger, and FNASS Dasher) was converted from 5 virtually identical mercantile hulls, while the later Attacker class (comprised of the Attacker, Battler, Chaser, Fencer, Pursuer, Stalker, Striker, and Trailer) and the virtually identical Ruler class (comprised of the Patroller, Puncher, Ravager, Reaper, Searcher, Slinger, Smiter, Speaker, Tracker, Trouncer, Trumpeter, Ameer, Arbiter, Atheling, Begum, Emperor, Empress, Khedive, Nabob, Premier, Queen, Rajah, Ranee, Ruler, Shah, and Thane) were mass-produced. These escort carriers had a limited capability for flexibility, and tended to be fitted out for roles either in convoy escort or in assault support. They often work in large groups, with the largest group so far being a group of 9 to support troop landings on a large HPL-controlled asteroid in the Dolduar. Many of these escort carriers have seen no action however, being relegated to starfighter ferrying duties
