Following the [[Davion Civil War]], [[First Prince]] [[Alexander Davion]] initiated a [[WarShip]] building program after recognizing that the [[Federated Suns]] WarShip fleet was outclassed by those being fielded by his enemies; this program began in [[2546]] and resulted in the development of the Block II ''[[Davion II (WarShip class)|Davion]]''-class WarShip, the ''[[Robinson (WarShip class)|Robinson]]''-class Transport and, in [[2557]], the '''''New Syrtis'''''-class Carrier (called a "Fighter Cruiser" by some sources, as a reference to its respectable inboard firepower).<ref name="H:RWp220">''Historical: Reunification War'', pp. 220–221: "New Syrtis (Carrier)"</ref>

The ''New Syrtis'' was the first WarShip dedicated to operating large [[aerospace fighter]] formations, despite battles throughout the [[Age of War]] demonstrating that fighter superiority often decided battles.  The ''New Syrtis'' was intended to project House Davion's power by immediately assuming control of local space, whether that space was a distant jump point or a planet's orbit. The ''New Syrtis'' even managed to have relatively spacious crew quarters, despite carrying almost 2,000 crew, including two full crews for every fighter and small craft carried.<ref name="H:RWp220"/>
