During the borg war no federation entity suffered greater total loses and causalities than the star fighter corp. Stationed mostly on starships in limited flight squadrons they were often the first elements in a direct borg conflict eliminated by the enemy. Multiple squadrons stationed planet side or on starbases had the highest survival rates. After the war and with the success of the Angry Apes publicity star fleet realized that stationing more than a single flight of fighter craft on a starship was an experiment worth trying. Looking over the available ships in the fleet only a scant few of the akira class were capable of carrying more than a single squadron of fighters without sacrificing needed shuttle carrying capacity. |
