The Old World admiralty could never agree on a role for this class.  Some envisioned a commerce raider striking terror far behind enemy lines, some saw a light missile cruiser for planetary bombardment along side troop transports.  The lovingly preserved ancient warships have seen numerous actions over their long careers.  The Katowice admire its long jump range although it is often forced to escort and protect slower vessels.

These [[Battle Cruiser]]s were among the first ships the Katowice built for themselves with their own {{TL|11}} shipyards.  Designed to compensate for its technological limitations they are heavily armored yet carry no shielding.  Vulnerable to meson attack and lacking jump range it can still intimidate the locals.  They have yet to be seriously challenged by more advanced designs.  It features 1,800tons of extra fuel to buffer fuel loss damage typical from surface strikes.  This measure was intended to preserve its ability to flee encounters.  In practice it acts as an impromptu tanker for swarms of close escorts and couriers it travels with in fleet taskforce operations.

Description (Specifications)

The Katowice Conquest is a Pocket Empire.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Katowice Conquest was established on 2014 Katowice (A8A7868-B) in 280 when a group of ambitious naval commanders from the Old Worlds navy broke away with a few squadrons of ships. Due to internal political struggles between governmental factions within the Old Worlds, it was determined to be too costly to try and reintegrate the rebels. Basically unopposed against a series of more primitive, unaligned worlds the former Old Worlds fleet and its advanced marine divisions captured and now control several planets in the Old Worlds Subsector of the Crucis Margin Sector.

Technology & Trade

Over the years the technology level for the Katowice Conquest dropped below that of their former home.

Military & Intelligence

A handful of relic TL–14 designs are all that remained. These are difficult to maintain with the TL–11 facilities available. The newer designs are simpler and less sophisticated, and as a result less capable. A standing force of 60,000 troops garrison the capital and a fleet of half a million tons stands watch from the pocket empire's single Naval Base. According to the historical archives the zone was established using an interesting mix of vessels. The major naval combatants are listed below dating from the establishment of the zone. By the current era the last relics had to be decommissioned so that the balance of the current naval forces are military scouts and merchants pressed into support and logistical roles.

  1. Biskra class Regimental Assault Cruiser
  2. Dominion class Troop Transport
  3. Fulcrum class Battlecruiser
  4. Ghost class Frigate
  5. Rambler class Strike Cruiser
  6. Ranger class Escort Carrier
  7. Sargon class Close Escort
