The Clone Space Navy's fleet of Tiamon assault carriers fulfils an important role in the Clone Defence Forces. It can launch aircraft from high atmosphere and usually is at the forefront of an amphibious operation. However, the fleet of nine is reaching the end of it's life though after inspection the oldest have had their withdrawal date pushed from 2120 to 2123.
The Tiamon will be replaced by the Tiamon TMK, production of which will begin next year. The TMK is a development of the Triumph 66B carriers the Clones built for NS a few years ago. Compared to the original the TMK will have upgraded engines and tactical systems.
