Order of Battle
Space Command
The Republic Space Command is currently organized into four main battle fleets and a patrol fleet for anti-piracy and colonial protection duties.
Dauntless class battleship
60 points total, 4 in service
50+5C3+5J
The Dauntless class is currently Nashtar's heaviest warship. Though the class is capable of serving as a fleet command ship, it is not used as such, since the Intrepid class serves the role much better. The Dauntless and her sisters are designed to pound enemy fleets with precision, relying on their formidable tactical sensor arrays to punch through enemy jamming and enable pinpoint targeting. The Dauntless class mounts three spinal railguns, heavy beam emitters on the broadside, and massive banks of missiles.
Intrepid class fleet carrier
60 points total, 4 in service
45+10C3+5J
The Intrepid class serves as a battle fleet's command center, as well as a mobile base for the fleet's fighter wings. The carriers themselves are lightly armed, but their wide array of bombers and fightercraft allow a broad range of offensive and defensive capabilities, including the ability to conduct precision strikes impossible with standoff naval artillery tactics. An Intrepid class carrier is never found without its cruiser escort, and is almost always in the company of at least one Dauntless as well.
Liberty class battlecruiser
50 points total, currently none in service
35+5C3+10R
A fast battlecruiser class designed as a fast escort, heavy pursuit vessel, and shipping raider, the Liberty class was initially scrapped at the drawing board stage as an unnecessary expenditure, filling a role that the Guardian class did well while unable to fill the heavy battle line role of the Dauntless class. The heavy raiding tactics of the Yrch changed the Nashtari government's collective mind, and some were commissioned to flag the 6th Fleet for colony defense, able to both outrun and overcome the Yrch raiders. The class mounts two of the spinal railguns also found in the Dauntless class, as well as heavy engines, permitting it both high acceleration for a ship of its size and the ability to offset the recoil of capital-grade spinal railguns without the mass of a fully fledged battleship.
Kensington class heavy cruiser
30 points total, 12 in service
25+5J
Kensington class cruisers serve as heavy escorts for other fleet elements. Sporting heavy active defense arrays and ECM equipment, the cruisers are able to reliably defend themselves and other ships around them from incoming enemy attack. Unlike most other Nashtari ships, the Kensington and her sisters do not have especially advanced sensor suites, and are dependent upon the ships they guard to provide intelligence and targeting data when there is heavy enemy jamming present.
Guardian class light cruiser
20 points total, 15 in service
15+5C3
The Guardian and her sisters are versatile multirole ships, but come into their own as raiding vessels. The heaviest ships likely to be found operating outside of a fleet, the Guardian class is focused on detection and destruction of enemy threats. If faced with superior firepower, the Guardian will retreat, since its own defensive systems are minimal. Standard procedure calls for at least two escorting destroyers to accompany Guardians to make up for this deficiency.
Polaris class escort destroyer
15 points total, 33 in service
5+5J+5C3
The Polaris class is an escort ship. Designed to screen for heavier warships as well as escort commercial traffic, the Polaris and her sisters are the workhorses of the fleet.
Bandit class frigate
15 points total, 25 in service
5+5R+5C3
The Bandit class is designed as a shipping raider, with a considerably up-engined design to fill the pursuit role. They may operate either independently or as part of a fleet, providing a powerful punch in a small package.
Shadow class stealth frigate
20 points total, 12 in service
5+10S+5C3 (11 stealth rating)
Made possible in large part by Ronoghan shipbuilding technology, the Shadow class employs powerful sensor absorption and transmission dampening measures and materials, appearing nearly invisible to all but the most powerful sensor arrays. The frigates also sport an advanced sensor package, and are most often used to gather intelligence about enemy fleet movements.
Praetor class assault ship
15 points total, currently none in service
10+3C3+2J
The Praetor class is a planetary assault vessel, serving as a mobile Marine base and auxiliary carrier. Its typical small craft wing includes more troop transports than starfighters, though this is of course modular in an emergency. A Praetor assault ship can carry an entire army division and equipment in addition to its considerable Marine complement, and is equipped to force a landing for the same. In addition to the planetary assault role, a Praetor is capable of conducting large-scale boarding operations or serving as a base for long-range fighter and bomber squadrons.
Space superiority fighter wings
2 points total, currently none in service
2
Primarily composed of Republic Dynamics SF-79E space superiority fighters, the Space Command's FTL-mobile fighter forces make up the bulk of light patrol and escort detachments. Unlike most carrier-based spacecraft, the wings falling under this heading are jump capable and able to operate independently of a fleet. They are able to engage enemy fighters and escort-weight vessels, but are unable to seriously harm capital ships without heavy support. A wing is composed of 72 starfighters.
Heavy bomber wings
4 points total, currently none in service
4
Primarily composed of Oro Space Systems SB-62C heavy space bombers, these bomber wings are jump capable, able to operate independently of a fleet, and in groups capable of attacking enemy cruiser weight vessels and supporting strikes against capital ships. A wing of bombers will accompany fighter escort detachments in areas deemed prone to hostile or pirate activity.
