The Clone Navy Air Service (CNAS) is in need of a carrier-capable multi-engined transport which can be used for a multitude of potential roles including COD and AEW. The obvious choice is to navalise the air force's fairly new K39 Carnival light transport as funding for a brand new design would be unlikely.
One problem though is the K39 is a bit smaller than the CNAS would like however its thought they will learn to live with it. Funding is being arranged for a carrier capable prototype with test landing achieved by 2120.
