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 past sixty 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.
         Unfortunately, the modifications to the Comitatus have produced very cramped conditions for the vessel's crew and aerospace pilots. The Comitatus also lacks sufficient space for a full complement of technical support personnel, and so fighters carried aboard a Comitatus are more likely to be grounded by damage than those transported on other vessels. 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.
         Ironically, Clan Jade Falcon possesses the smallest number of Comitatuses and deploys none in the Inner Sphere. However, the Falcons' bitter enemies, the Steel Vipers, have deployed a number in the Clan occupation zone and have used their aerospace forces to blunt several Federated Commonwealth raids.
