Although an Aither can decimate a militarily weak society, it is completely ineffective against anyone with more than some limited corvettes.  Although the 14 fighters the Aither class can carry can do decent damage, the Aither itself cannot hold out against anything more than a single [[Darinaya]] class vessel. The Aither's lack of disruptors allows it to be easily defeated since it has few torpedo tubes and is more difficult to supply compared to its output. The Aither can do planetary bombing runs, but it cannot stand against planetary defenses on its own. Its fighters can take out some vessels, but since not many fighters can be carried on the Aither, they are often easily taken out by either corvettes or [[Ju'day]] class fighter groups.

The colonists' basic military capital ship, the Aither-class light carrier has moderate defenses for a ship its size. During the early colonist era, the Aither proved to be a symbol of might and power. However, its impressive shield grid and armor are set back by its mediocre weapons array. Although an Aither can easily triumph over the most basic militaries, it is generally ineffective against anyone with more than a few light frigates. The Aither makes up for this shortcoming with its ability to carry 14 fighters as escort. However, its lack of disruptors, weak phaser output and the susceptibility of its fighter escorts to corvettes leave it prey to more sophisticated fleets. While it is capable of planetary bombardment, it does not last very long against dedicated orbital defenses. Regardless of these weaknesses, the Aither remains a popular choice of capital ship for new colonial governments..
