Belgardian Sojurnate/secret
The actual number of functioning ships in the Belgardian fleet is very small. The fleet consisting of about six, 200 ton Lancers and a further three 200-ton merchant vessels of various types. However, many visitors to the Sojurnate report seeing a much larger Navy consisting of a number of former Imperial Ships in orbit around the controlled planets. These reports have proven to be erroneous as the Imperial Scout service has reported the ships in orbit are actually non-functional and are kept in orbit with small TL9 maneuver drives that can only keep the ships on station, but nothing further.
The functional ships are just barely that. However, the Sojournate does occasionally capture relatively new and functioning vessels. They then either put to these ships to use as is, or strip them for parts and place the hulks in "mothballs" orbiting Belgard as part of its so-called Homefleet.
