Hermes-class
|
|
|
Designation: Assault Shuttle
Max Y/P/R: 40/40/30 deg/s
Armor (F/B/L/R): 100/100/100/100
Max speed: 350 kps
Missile decoys: 2
|
Length: 31.51 m
Mass: 35 tons
Shields (F/B): 140/140
|
Notes: These lightly-armored shuttles carry a contingent of marines for deep space assault operations.
|
Clydesdale-class
|
|
|
Designation: Transport
Max Y/P/R: 20/20/20 deg/s
Armor (F/B/L/R): 240/240/220/220
Max speed: 150 kps
Missile decoys: none
|
Length: 73.30 m
Mass: 4,000 tons
Shields (F/B): 300/300
|
Notes: Replacing the Drayman and Diligent classes, the Clydesdales came on-line in 2658. Clydesdales are used as minesweepers, tankers and freighters. Occasionally, they are also used for prison transfers and small Marine operations.
|
Venture-class
|
|
|
Designation: Corvette
Max Y/P/R: 30/30/30 deg/s
Armor (F/B/L/R): 550/550/500/500
Max speed: 250 kps
Missile decoys: 5
|
Length: 80.22 m
Mass: 1,000 tons
Shields (F/B): 750/750
|
Notes: One of the most versatile ships in the Confed fleet, the Venture is used in fast transport, patrol, battlegroup support and capship assault roles. After 20 years of service, it is, however, beginning to show its age.
|
Gilgamesh-class
|
|
|
Designation: Destroyer
Manufacturer: Sirius Prime Engineering
Max speed: 250 kps
|
Length: 312.11 m
Mass: 10,000 tons
| Active ships: Too many to list
Notes: These destroyers have balanced offensive and defensive capabilities, and therefore are used in a number of different roles. In several sectors, they make up the bulk of Confed's operational forces since the signing of the truce.
|
Exeter-class
|
|
|
Designation: Destroyer
Manufacturer: Origin Systems
Max speed: 150 kps
|
Length: 360.02 m
Mass: 8,000 tons
| Active ships: Too many to list
Notes: When the Exeters first appeared in the 2640s, the new emphasis on torpedo strikes placed capships without fighters at risk. Some Exeters were modified to include hangars, but these modifications proved costly - a flaw that was corrected later on in the easily reconfigurable Gilgamesh-class.
|
Waterloo-class
|
|
|
Designation: Cruiser
Manufacturer: Trojan IV Spaceyards
Max speed: 200 kps
|
Length: 503.92 m
Mass: 19,500 tons
| Active ships: TCS Reims
Notes: The Waterloo is the Confederation's most efficient cruiser. It is relatively fast, and usually carries almost exclusively strike fighters to complement its heavy attack capabilities.
|
Wake-class
|
|
|
Designation: Escort Carrier
Manufacturer: Sirius Prime Engineering
Max speed: 240 kps
|
Length: 405.75 m
Mass: 17,050 tons
| Active ships: TCS Firekka, TCS Guadalcanal, TCS Tarawa, among others
Notes: The Escort Carriers of this class had their hulls adapted from heavy transports, and have restricted room for fighter storage. However, they are faster than any other ship of their size, and can easily sneak in and out of enemy territory.
|
Concordia-class
|
|
|
Designation: Fleet Carrier
Manufacturer: Various, on license from Sirius Prime Engineering
Max speed: 150 kps
|
Length: 800.05 m
Mass: 65,000 tons
| Active ships: TCS Lexington, TCS Saratoga, TCS Moskva, TCS Verdun
Notes: The standard Confed Fleet Carrier since the war started, the Concordias are the most numerous capital ships in the Fleet (and also the most cost effective). They carry a full wing of fighters, but have only a light defensive armament.
|
Bengal-class
|
|
|
Designation: Strike Carrier
Manufacturer: Trojan IV Spaceyards
Max speed: 130 kps
|
Length: 700.20 m
Mass: 80,000 tons
| Active ships: None
Notes: More heavily armed than a standard Fleet Carrier, the Strike Carriers of this class are among the oldest and most damage-enduring designs in the fleet. The TCS Wolfhound and the TCS Kipling, both of which are currently offline, are the only remaining carriers of this class.
|
Jutland-class
|
|
|
Designation: Attack Carrier
Manufacturer: Trojan IV Spaceyards, on license from S.P.E.
Max speed: 150 kps
|
Length: 775.10 m
Mass: 60,000 tons
| Active ships: TCS Leyte Gulf
Notes: The Jutland-class CVA is one of Confed’s newer carrier designs. Designed to replace the Bengal-class and supplement the mainstay Concordia-class carriers, the Jutlands are fast and heavily-armed. Only eight of these carriers have been constructed so far, six of which have already been lost in action.
|

Max speed: 10 kps
|
Radius: 1200 m
Mass: 230,000 tons
|
Notes: Capable of supporting thousands of people and a full compliment of defense fighters, the huge Star Bases are one of the most important space station designs in the Confederation.
