LAC carriers (nearly always abbreviated to CLAC) were vessels distinguished not by their tonnage but by their function, which was to act as motherships to wings of light attack craft. The size of CLACs varied and was primarily a function of the 'LAC Doctrine' of the star nation constructing the ship. For example, the Star Kingdom of Manticore favored dreadnought-sized carriers because it visualized LACs as an offensive platform and a fast 'carrier' could serve as an effective adjunct to a raiding force. The Republic of Haven primarily utilized LACs as screening elements for its wall of battle, this meant it could afford to build slower superdreadnought-sized carriers allowing it to field more LACs for a given number of hulls.
