VESSEL HISTORY:

A died-in-the-wool strike carrier, the Mitchell class is designed not for space combat, but for planetary strikes.   Her 6 fighter bays and 6 marine pods are optimized for ground attack, and her entire command and control system is tuned for that mission.   Indeed, most Mitchells see service tucked in a protective cocoon of destroyer and battlecruiser escorts.

This is not to say that a Mitchell can't hold her own in combat.   TSS Indomitable had her entire support fleet destroyed around her during what was to be a routine strike on the shipyards at Gallindia in the 1st Vanyan Assault.  Using nothing more than her limited arsenal -- and her full compliment of strike fighters -- Indomitable escaped the scene and is currently in service to this day.
