Traditional TIEs, lacking hyperdrive, sometimes need to be transported quickly from system to system, and when there is no Frigate or Star Destroyer available, the Escort Carrier becomes the primary means of transporting TIE squadrons. The Escort Carrier is a box-like, 500-meter transport ship used to transport an entire wing of TIE fighters (72 fighters in all) and a limited number of support craft. They have minimal armaments, but are equipped with a hyperdrive system for easy entrance to, and exit from, a battle site. Escort Carriers were designed and built at the Kuat Drive Yards. Each carrier has a crew complement of 3,505, and has been rated at a maximum speed of 12 MGLT. They are also equipped with a limited repair facility, as well as the following shipboard components: 10 Taim & Bak H8 dual laser cannons, 1 Krupx VL-6 Warhead Launching System, Front/Rear Projecting Shields (180 SBD), and a Titanium Alloy Hull (90 RU).

In addition to an entire TIE Fighter wing, the Escort Carrier has room for transport craft. Its primary purpose being transport, not offense, the Escort Carrier serves in battles from a distance.
