Overview:
Designed in the late 30th century by Clan Snow Raven, the Comitatus Class JumpShip began its life as a simple transport. The original Comitatuses were equipped with hardpoints for four DropShips. But over the years, Clan engineers reduced the Comitatus' DropShip capacity to one and increased its small-craft complement to 25. The result was one of the most effective fighter carriers that exists.
Ironically, a serious flaw in the original Comitatus' hydraulics system prompted Clan engineers to remove the vessel's two aft hardpoints. The space made available by this modification initially was used for cargo storage. Then in 3035, a young Jade Falcon pilot named Vishnu Folkner suggested that fighter bays be installed in the already well-armed craft to create a vessel ideal for defending jump points. Although many senior officers were skeptical, Folkner's suggestion attracted support from Khan Elias Critchell, and the first modified Comitatus entered service with Clan Jade Falcon in early 3036. The vessel soon proved its worth, most notably when a Star of OmniFighters from the modified Comitatus Class Bright Katama intercepted and destroyed a Dark Caste Union at a pirate point near Tokasha in 3038. The other Clans also recognized the potential of a mobile fighter base, and within ten years the majority of Clan Comitatuses had been converted to this configuration, regardless of the state of their hydraulics. In the last ten years, all known Comitatuses have been modified to use the new KF drive. This has freed up extra room for the crew, technicians, and spare parts, fixing many of the problems with the original design.
In addition to two Stars of OmniFighters, the Comitatus also carries a full Star of battlearmor equipped Elementals and five assault shuttles in a separate small-craft bay.
The Steel Vipers and Jade Falcons deploy a handful of these ships, most left over from before the Jihad. The Trinity Alliance also owns many of them, purchased from the Raven Alliance which builds them to this day.
