   Comments: The Wind class strike carrier is a particular artifact of the escalating tensions in the Spinward Marches. Designed and created for the transport of heavy fighters to the battle front, strike carriers are also well-armed, reasonably armored, and capable of standing in battle against most enemies.

This ship appears in Supplement 9: Fighting Ships of the Imperium.
