Corvette: Length: 163 meters Long Width: 77 meters Height/Depth: 60 meters Armament: 2 x Heavy Laser Cannons 1 x Light Missile Silos Shielding: None Armor: 100mm Titanium Armor Hangar:None Crew: 70(5 skeleton) Corvettes are fast and agile ships, they are generally used for system patrols, and armed reconnaisance, however when in combat they do not excel at, they tend to be destroyed easily as they do not have any amount of shielding and two fighter squadrons can easily take them out. They do however are very useful in assaults as they generally will absorb as much flak as possible, when this tactic is in use, they will have skeleton crews. Destroyers Length: 293 meters Width: 99 meters Height: 50 meters Armament: 2 x Heavy Plasma Cannons 12 x Light Plasma Cannons Shielding: None Hangar: None Armor: 200mm Titanium Armor Crew: 200(8 Skeleton) The Destroyer is designed to take a beating and dish one out, but there is one major design flaw, it was designed without a shield generator, but the orginal designs show that there was an area allocated for a generator, but wasn't installed. However it proved to be a dangerous vessel as it was meant to be an escort ship but proved itself an aggressive ship. Its size means nothing when it comes up in numbers. It only takes 30 of these to kill a heavy cruiser given size and power. Frigate Length: 457 meters Width: 120 meters Height: 45 meters Armament: 8 x Heavy Missile Silos 14 x Missile Arrays 12 x Light Lasers Hangar: 4 Shielding: None Crew: 120(5 Skeleton) The Frigate was designed to be a long range attack vessel to strike at any given moment from a safe distance. It can target a ship from over 88,000 meters away, but it comes at a cost, it isn't geared to protect itself and requires either fighter protection, or an escort. These ships are predatory against the Heavy Cruiser and Cruiser classes, due to the range they can strike means certain doom, but where it lacks in protection makes up in having a hangar for 4 squadrons. Ion Frigate Length: 465 meters Width:120 meters Height:45 meters Armaments: 1 x Ion Cannons 20 x Ion Flak Cannons Hangar:4 Drive: Stellar Shielding: Yes 120gW Particle Shield Armor: 200mm Titanium Armor The Ion Frigate is designed specifically to target capital ships and to drain their shielding. However it was found that Ion weaponry damages not only the shielding but also the armor. Dealing equal amount of damage to the shields and armor was a proven to be a major threat to capital ships. When this ship was designed it was built off of the Frigate Chassis and superstructure frame. It was found to definitaly prove an huge benefit to any amount of fleets. Due to their rarity the Syn haven't been able to attack many of these ships as they are kept in reserves. (Under Active Construction)

Scout Ship Length: 140 meters Width: 180 meters Height: 20 meters Armament: 1 x Laser Cannon Shielding: None Armor: 45 mm Titanium Armor Crew: 20 (1 Skeleton) The Scout Ship was designed to be able to get into systems undetected, it became a popular vessel for smugglers as it was cheap to build, and its speed is unmatched. The Scout ship however was so weak a single fighter squadron could wipe them out, knowing this smugglers turned to ablative armor that they would steal. With a ship as fast as this it meant that tracking them was near impossible unless patrols were being done. Note: this ship is to be used as NPC only. Cruiser Length: 702 meters Width: 245 meters Height: 75 meters Armament: 20 x Heavy Plasma Cannons 30 x Light Plasma Flak cannons 2 x Missile Silos Shielding: 250 gW Shielding Armor: 200 mm Titanium Armor Hangar: 4 squadrons The Cruiser is one of the most common ships. These vessels are fast and agile for there size. Designed to be able to take a beating in combat, and has seen combat in almost all situations. The cruiser has become synonymous with power. The amount of sheer firepower this vessel puts out is only matched by its much larger cousin the Heavy Cruisers. Carrier Length: 1100 meters Width: 450 meters Height: 90 meters Armament: 1 x Heavy Laser Cannon 12 x Missile Arrays Shielding: 200 gW Shielding Generator Armor: Unknown amount Crew: 800(20 Skeleton) Hangar: 60 squadrons The Carrier is a support vessel by definition, this ship can carry 60 squadrons of fighters into a combat situation, but cannot defend itself very long due to the amount of firepower it has on it cannot survive. It requires a full hangar to protect itself however these ships do have one thing that most don't, it has the capability of moving into a system and not be detected on planetary Scanners so long as it doesn't have a full hangar. Heavy Cruiser Length:1440 meters Width: 300 meters Height: 100 meters(at tallest point) Shielding: 300 gW Shielding Generator Hangar: 8 squadrons Armament: 3 x Heavy Plasma Cannons 8 x Plasma cannons 2 x Missile Arrays 14 x Light Plasma Cannons 12 x Plasma Deck Guns Warp: Yes Crew: 1800 (200 Skeleton) The Heavy cruiser has more armor and shielding proportionally then any other vessel in the human fleets. These ships are almost common the smaller cousin the Cruiser. What sets the Heavy Cruiser and the cruiser apart except for sheer size? It has the most weaponry proportionally than a Leviathan, which is over 11,000 meters, how is it possible? It was designed as heavily armed escort vessel as well as a capital ship hunter, known to hunt down Battleships some Heavy Cruisers have gotten fame from killing much larger vessels than themselves. When in combat the Heavy Cruiser captains tend to be a tank and take a beating if they are protecting capitals. When a fleet is composed mainly of Heavy Cruiser fleets, there is enough firepower to annilihate just about anything in its path. These fleets are as efficient as they are deadly. The most famous Heavy Cruiser fleet is known as Task Force Nova, which was destroyed when a star exploded catching the fleet in the system it had over 250 Heavy cruisers in it. The Task Force Nova has only a single ship left in it and it is currently manned by an unknown captain.

Battleship Length:2,286 meters Width: 400 meters Height: 120 meters Armament: 2 x Heavy Ion Cannons 12 x Pulsar Flak Cannons 14 x Missile Arrays 15 x Ion Cannons Shielding: 200 gW Shielding Emmitters Crew: 2200(100 Skeleton) Hangar: 40 Squadrons The Battleship feared for its sheer size and the amount of firepower it brings to the table. There is only one battleship that has amassed enough fear to ensure even the Heavy Cruisers don't hit it and that was the USCS Balmor this ship became fear itself when it survived an attack from 40 Heavy cruisers, it was badly damaged and nearly crippled but thanks to its 2.5 meters of Ablative titanium armor this ship survived to see another battle. When this ship disappeared so did its Legacy. The Battleship was designed to come in and put out enough firepower and Ion flak to cause fleets to route, but with beam cannnons this ship is a little hard to fear now. However It does bring to the table Ion weaponry which damages ships and shielding equally at a 50:50 ratio. Its sheer size makes it longer to build at over 13 months per Battleship. Fleet Carrier Length: 2,626 meters Width: 600 meters Height: 200 meters Hangar: 400 squdrons Armament: 24 x Missile Arrays Armor: 90mm Titanium Carbide Plate Armor Shielding: 350 gW Shield Emitters Crew: 1200 (1 Skeleton) If there is a ship that is needed its this ship. As this ship has seen combat in almost all theaters of war. It can act as a makeshift hospital ship as well as a prison ship with the right configuration. When this ship is all white, it means its a hospital ship and is deemed illegal to hit. There are currently the White Fleet a fleet of 200 Hospital Carriers that can treat nearly 9000 people alone in its hangar. This ship puts out more missiles to protect itself enough to make it a threat to a heavy cruiser from a long distance but where it lacks hard hitting plasma weaponry it makes up for distance. Common tactics are to drop these and unload the fighters and bombers it carries and evac from the combat zone as they cannot protect themselves in a close range battle, their missiles can only lock on at around 12000 meters a design flaw. Dreadnought Length:3,217 meters Width:360 meters Height: 600 meters Armament: 20 x Disruptor Cannons 15 x Disruptor Deck Cannons 2 x Missile Arrays Hangar: 200 squadrons Speed(Max Acceleration: 20 m/s) Armor: 350mm Ablative Titanium Carbide Armor SHielding: 500 gW Shielding Emitters Crew: 5000(Skeleton: 200) Warp Drive: Equipped Warp Speed: NaN The Dreadnoughts sheer size shows in its speed. This ship spells trouble when seen anytime Dreadnoughts are in action it means only one thing they are here to break an occupation. They come with a huge fighter screen for their size with 200 squadrons onboard and enough firepower to punch holes into blockades of any size these behemoths also come with something the enemy wasn't expecting large amounts of armor. These ships were designed soon after the Syn invasion, and due to that there has never been a dreadnought consumed by the Syn. However the USC has allowed individual planets to have their own fleet of dreadnoughts for protection as thier name suggest, these monstrositys are dreaded in combat as it takes 30 heavy cruisers to punch through their shielding and an additional 15 heavy cruisers to punch through thier armor plating. They are best at planetary and system protection but they are not agile enough to be in large scale assaults unless you need something that can survive a blockade running. Note: Ship is restricted for story elements and arches until further notice to prevent god moding and setting up of the RPG.

Titan Length:6,491 meters Width: 500 meters Height:NaN Shielding: 500 gW Shield Emitters Armor: 400mm Titanium Plate Armor Armament: 12 x Heavy Disruptor Cannons 120 x Disruptor Deck Cannons 15 x Missile Arrays Hangar: 1000 squadrons Crew: 12,000(Skeleton: 1000) Any ship that is the size of a Titan is bound to earn a name for itself. Only a few have been built as it takes 3 years to build them. These ships have been named Titan for a reason. Rumor has it that the Titans fought the Gods and won. Their name comes at a price, these ships are so slow that maneuevering them requires a skilled navigator and a expert crew. These ships have soo much firepower they could be blockade breakers if only their speed was faster. They are some of the slowest ships in the galaxy. Heavy cruisers can fly laps around these vessels by the time they even move 100 meters. They are used as a last resort, losing one is a huge demoralize factor and a loss of trillions of dollars. Note: Ship is restricted for story elements and arches until further notice to prevent god moding and setting up of the RPG. Leviathan Length: 11,000 meters Width: 3400 meters Height: 1100 meters Shield: 10 x 500 gW Shield Emitters Armament: 250 x Heavy Photon Cannons 1 x Super Heavy Photon Cannons 2000 x Photon Flak Cannons 200 x Missile Arrays If there is a ship to fear this is your ship. Nothing spells fear and doom like a Leviathan, its sheer size is a monstrosity. When its main cannon is the size of a Cruiser its self, its an sheer sign of a losing battle. The Syn haven't been able to corrupt these ships, but they have turned Dreadnoughts into Hives, the leviathan takes nearly 6 years to build only 3 are in existance and 3 more that will be finished in a matter of weeks. These vessels have so much firepower that having a Leviathan in combat boost moral soo much that even Cruisers start to fight as if they are Heavy Cruisers. Note: Ship is restricted for story elements and arches until further notice to prevent god moding and setting up of the RPG.

Colony Vessel: Length: 617 meters The Colony Ship contains enough resources to start a new colony. However it only has anti aircraft laser cannons to protect it. These vessels are seen throught the galaxy as the USC tries to popluate uncharted planets and the such, however due to the problem of no protection, they must be fast. It carries 4,000 colonist onboard in cryostasis for the duration of the trip. The ship is entirely automated if it is a journey that will take longer than 2 months.
