Squadron Support Cruisers, often simply called Light Carriers or Carrier Cruisers, carry squadrons of Strike Craft into battle and are great for supplementing the firepower of Carriers. Being somewhat fragile and possessing no other armaments besides the strike craft they carry, these cruisers are vulnerable to attack by other ships unless properly escorted. They are weakest against the fast and powerful Light Frigates.
