Alliance carrier history first started in the summer of 750 UC (441 IC / 3550 CE) with the completion of the then new Washington class carrier. It had a fighter capacity of only 12 fighters. Then Chief Commander of the Star Fleet, Admiral Jamuna, formed carrier strike forces with six carriers to a force, and attacked an Imperial fleet staging point with great success, establishing the fighter force as an important arm of the military. Since that time, carrier capacities and fighter performance characteristics have increased.
The Ameretat is named as an example of the Lazarus class carrier, which suggests the Lazarus is the main Alliance carrier class given how there are no other observed visibly different Alliance carriers. (Data Book: Mechanic & Seiyū Encyclopaedia, p. 141)
