While all of the larger Heavenships carry strike craft, the Hospitaller is designed solely for that purpose. The forward hangar section carries ten Cherubim and five Purgation squadrons, while the two side hangar bays can carry over a hundred strike craft if required. Though able to act as a flagship in its own right, the Hospitaller is designed as a support and recover ship, its side hangars allowing it to recover stranded strike craft should a capital ship fall in battle. It can also perform evacuation duties, as the hangar decks are pressurised and can carry large numbers of people.
In order to defend itself while it deploys its fighters, the Hospitaller is armed with a single mass driver mounted centrally above the forward hangar, two tri-linked heavy laser turrets and eight twin-linked lasers.
