Command carriers serve as a mobile base of operations for the Peacekeepers; they are immense ships with a crew complement of about 50,000. Many peacekeepers live their entire lives on a command carrier, and they have all the creature comforts needed to sustain their large crews (including large indoor "gardens" that simulate a planet's surface and are used for combat training exercises).
Command carriers primarily rely on their large complements of prowlers and Marauders to project Peacekeeper power where needed. They are however powerful battleships in their own right, armed with four Frag Cannons and protected by powerful defence screens.

Under these conditions, Rygel's loyalties (which were never certain to begin with) waivered, and he fled to the PK CommandCarrier hoping to trade the rest of our lives for his own.
It seems the formidable Captain Bialar Crais had lost his grip on command of the PK Carrier, leaving Scorpius in charge and Crais fearing for his life under the Peacekeeper-Scarran hybrid's new regime.
