The navy of the Republic is a three role force, engaging enemies in space, from the air, and from the seas in support of the army.
Skeeter:
The lightest ship in the fleet, it is effctively a scout and patrol ship, armed only with point defense lasers and a missile battery, its speed and small size are its best defenses.
Crusader:
A destroyer, its cannon and torpedoes make it an excellent mobile combatant, capable of moving with agility, destroying enemies, and having at least marginal survivability.
Lurker:
On the surface of a planet, this vessel is a submarine, in the void, it is a fire support torpedo boat, stealthy enough to get in close to enemy vessels and launch attacks well inside an enemies point defense envelope.
Conquerer:
A heavy cruiser, this powerful warship mounts larger cannon than the destroyer, and its heavy armor allows it to slug with many other nations equivalent classes.
Ranger:
An arsenal ship, this beast mounts hundreds of missile launchers, and can overload enemy missile defenses if employed in any numbers, allowing them to support operations, or engage enemies on their own.
Colossus:
The aircraft carrier of the fleet. Its name is actually a misnomer. It produces its own advanced fighters and bombers, eliminating the need for supporting aircraft hangars except as system defense forces. It carres nearly 300 planes, and each fighter bay nanolathes whatever unit is required at the time.
Millennium:
The mightiest warship in the fleet, its two independently targetable gannon, rotary anti-ship laser turret, and heavy armor make it nigh unstoppable in any numbers.
