Numbered Imperial fleet stationed in Kamlar Subsector.

Non-canon

This subsector fleet is composed of two oversized squadrons. The idea was to retain a fleet with the same power as a normal subsector fleet which would typically have more squadrons assigned. It has turned out that maintaining these over sized squadrons is extremely taxing on the small local population and their economy. Many locals feel the trillions of credits could have been better spent. The ships were not manufactured locally and are actually quite old captured Aslan designs pressed into imperial service long ago. They are not widely popular with crews who complain that they are unfamiliar and therefore difficult to work on.

Takahira Deneb 1831 (B9C5223-8) has the 1982nd cruiser squadron assigned.

(1) Dewclaw Class Fleet Scout

PT-1743451-000000-00003-0 MCr. 103.8 100 tons

Bearing 1 Crew 3

Batteries 1 TL D

Cargo: 1 ton Frozen Watch Fuel: 44 tons EP: 4 Agility: 1 Marines: 1

Backups: 1 x Model/1 Computer

Architects Fee: MCr 1.038 Cost in Quantity: MCr 83.04

With redundant frozen crew and a relatively large computer to ensure missile hits in an ECM rich environment and a crude back up, this small scout can take some critical hits without being put out of action. The trio of nuclear tipped missiles are its only protection. The lone heroic marine is a staple in Aslan legend, to sally forth and capture an enemy merchant single handedly is a common fantasy. Imperial commanders usually leave this berth empty to give the crew more room.

(1) Black Rock Class Missile Frigate

FG-A8424G2-340000-60009-0 MCr. 970.65 1,500 tons

Bearing 1 1 1 Crew 27

Batteries 1 1 1 TL D

Cargo: 0 tons Fuel: 660 tons EP: 60 Agility: 2 Marines: 5 Drop Capsules: 5

Backups: 1 x Model/7fib Computer 1 x Bridge

Architects Fee: MCr 9.707 Cost in Quantity: MCr 776.52

An inexpensive asteroid hull with a back up squadron flag command bridge and computer.

(55) Thin Red Line Class Light Cruisers

CL-M4424G3-040000-500P9-0 MCr. 22,600.12 31,300 tons

Bearing 1 1 1 M Crew 296

Batteries 1 1 1P TL D

Cargo: 2 tons Fuel: 13,772 tons EP: 1,252 Agility: 0 Shipboard Security Detail: 31

Fuel Treatment: Fuel Scoops and On Board Fuel Purification

Architects Fee: MCr 226.001 Cost in Quantity: MCr 18,080.096

A very offensively minded design with no abilities for self preservation, only in overwhelming numbers could this design be expected to stop a modern enemy.


Kamlar Deneb 1832 (B387462-C) has the 1983rd cruiser squadron assigned.

(25) Eurisko Class Heavy Cruisers

CA-P9434H3-L46608-999S9-1 MCr. 48,794.948 60,900 tons

Bearing 7 1 1 111Y Crew 549

Batteries 9 1 1 111Z TL E

Cargo: 2.4 tons Frozen Watch Fuel: 2,436 tons EP: 2,436 Agility: 0 Marines: 48 Drop Capsules: 5 (plus 43 Ready)

Craft: 6 x 87T Extra Heavy Fighters

Fuel Treatment: On Board Fuel Purification, Two Jump 4 Drop Tanks

Backups: 1 x Model/8fib Computer 1 x Bridge 1 x Factor 6 Nuclear Damper 1 x Factor 6 Meson Screen

Substitutions: Y = 38 Z = 48

Architects Fee: MCr 487.949 Cost in Quantity: MCr 39,035.959

These are actually large and very heavily armored asteroid monitors retro-fitted with jump drives. There is no internal jump fuel and the drop tanks present many logistical concerns.

(1) Lenat Class Light Cruiser

CL-L7435H3-040000-95S09-0 MCr. 14,341.885 20,900 tons

Bearing 1 131 F Crew 223

Batteries 1 131 G TL E

Cargo: 0 tons Frozen Watch Fuel: 9,790.5 tons EP: 1,045 Agility: 0 Marines: 48 Drop Capsules: 5 (plus 43 Ready)

Fuel Treatment: On Board Fuel Purification

Backups: 1 x Model/8 Computer

Architects Fee: MCr 143.419 Cost in Quantity: MCr 11,473.508

Another paper tiger with heavy hitting firepower and no real thought of defensive counter measures. Wilderness refuelling is nearly impossible for this squadron.
