Considered state-of-the-art when it was introduced, the ''Orion''-class assault carrier incorporated the miniaturized and reconfigurable automated factories and chemical processors that were commonly found in [[Colony ship|colony support vessels]], allowing the carriers to produce fuel, spare parts, and rarely even complete combat vehicles without outside assistance. As such, each ''Orion''-class assault carrier holds a number of cargo lighters and resource gatherers to support its troops and support ships in harsh expeditionary environments.{{Ref/Reuse|canon fodder armory}} Of considerable tonnage by carrier standards, the ''Orion'' outmasses both the {{Class|Poseidon|light carrier}} and {{Class|Epoch|heavy carrier}}.{{Ref/ | Considered state-of-the-art when it was introduced, the ''Orion''-class assault carrier incorporated the miniaturized and reconfigurable automated factories and chemical processors that were commonly found in [[Colony ship|colony support vessels]], allowing the carriers to produce fuel, spare parts, and rarely even complete combat vehicles without outside assistance.

The ''Orion''-class assault carrier is armed with two heavy [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]s, which serve as the carrier's primary weapon. In addition, the assault carrier is outfitted with numerous [[missile]] batteries and [[point-defense gun]]s as secondary and tertiary weaponry, respectively.{{Ref/Reuse|fb}} | The ''Orion''-class assault carrier is armed with two heavy [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]s, which serve as the carrier's primary weapon.
