I assume there's also transport shuttles in addition to the starfighters. It would be a nuisance to dock regularly with the Teuberg.

So these Spartan-class ships are basically carrier for this... mobile armor? Which are used for ground operations?

[Most space battles in Lafiel's universe rely on big ships with big guns and shields. Even with a crack pilot, a fighter would be so much vaporized atoms with proper firing patterns, and even a wing of fighters couldn't penetrate a shield.]
