The '''Liberator''' is a light ship transporter manufactured by [[Anvil Aerospace]] specializing in "open-air" vehicle transport. With three landing pads and an expansive vehicle garage, the Liberator is capable of delivering three ships and two vehicles to the front line of any operation. 

Although it can operate as a contingent [[:category:escort carriers|light carrier]] thanks to its open platform with three landing pads, it is not equipped to sustain and support continuous carrier operations like a true carrier is, lacking repair, refueling and rearming facilities. However, it does feature housing facilities for both guests and crew.<ref name="QA_liberator">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/18365-Q-A-Anvil-Liberator|text=ANVIL LIBERATOR Q&A|accessdate=2021-10-20}}</ref>

The upper landing pads support ‘XS’ ships, which includes most single-seat combat ships ([[Sabre|Aegis Sabre]], [[Hornet|Anvil Hornet]] and [[Arrow]], etc.) and other single-player ships such as the [[Prospector|MISC Prospector]].  

The internal garage and front pad can store ground vehicles up to and including the [[Nova|Tumbril Nova]] and [[Ballista|Anvil Ballista]], and 'XXS' ships, which includes the [[MPUV|Argo MPUV]] and [[85x|Origin 85x]].<ref name="QA_liberator" />

A concept of the ship was introduced at [[CitizenCon 2951]] in 2021.<ref name="presentation">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/18353-Anvil-Liberator|text=Anvil Liberator - presentation page|accessdate=2021-10-09}}</ref>
