Naval Ship Synopsis by Size-Role

These vary in tonnage and in their intended function or role.

Ship Classification by Size
#	Type	Tonnage	Examples	Remarks
1.	Smallcraft	0 - 99 tons	Fighter/Interceptor Launch/Gig Slowboat Cutter Shuttle	Smallcraft are typically Subcraft, designed to be carried by carrier craft. Small/Light ACS Craft Ship-Type Code "Q-"
2.	Spacecraft	100 tons or larger	SDB Rider Monitor	Spacecraft are in-system vessels, lacking interstellar drives. (Occasionally known as "Bigcraft" or "Spaceships" or "System Ships") Some Spacecraft are Subcraft, designed to be carried by carrier craft.
3.	Starships	100 tons or larger	Scoutship Merchant Vessel Corvette Luxury Liner Freighter Colonial Cruiser Battlecruiser	Starships are vessels with interstellar drives. (Occasionally known as "Largecraft")
4.	Adventure Class Ships (ACS)	10 tons - 2,400 tons	Merchant Corsair Vessel Escort Colonial Cruiser/Mercenary Cruiser	Adventure Class Ships are usually jump-capable. Naval parlance may use the term Auxiliary Class Ships. They serve many roles including customs, patrol, planetary defense, tramp freighters, etc. Small Adventure Class (Small ACS): 10 ton - 100 ton ("Smallcraft") "Standard" Adventure Class (Small ACS): 100 ton - 1000 ton Large Adventure Class (Large ACS): 1000 ton - 2400 ton ("Very Light" Battle Class Ships (BCS))
5.	Battle Class Ships (BCS) Capital Class Ships (CCS)	2,500 tons - 250 ktons	Sleeper Ship Bulk Trader Auxiliary Tender Fleet Escort Cruiser Fleet Fighter-Carrier Battlecruiser/Battleship (Capital Ships/Primaries)	Battle Class Ships are warships and comprise both smaller Capital Primary Warships as well as Subcapital Secondary Warships that include Cruisers & Fleet Escorts. They are usually jump-capable. Civilian corporate concerns may use the term Bulk Class Ships for vessels they field in this size category. Such ships require major investment and only service major roles including megacorporate interstellar trade, warships, Capital Ships, and major endeavors. Small Battle Class 1 ("Very Light" BCS ( = Large Auxiliary Class Ships (ACS)): 1,000-ton - 2,400-ton » "Subcapital Ships": Escort Cruisers: Provincial/Colonial Cruisers; Heavy System Defense Boats Small Battle Class 2 ("Light" BCS): 2,500-ton - 10-kton » "Subcapital Ships": Fleet Escorts; System Defense Cruisers "Standard'" Battle Class ("Standard" BCS): 10-kton - 100-kton » "Subcapital Ships": Cruisers (Fleet & Independent); System Dominance Vessels; System Monitors "Capital Class" (CCS) / Large Battle Class (Heavy BCS): 100-kton - 250-kton ( = "Light" Fleet Class Ships (FCS) -OR- "Very Light" World Class Ships (WCS)) » "Light & Standard Capital Ships / Battleships"; "Supermonitors"
*	Capital Class Ships (CCS)	100 ktons - 250 ktons		The Higher End of Battle Class Ships and the Lower End of Fleet Class Ships (100,000 - 250,000 tons) have had varying categorizations to various commentators. The category is generally seen to overlap both, depending upon one's chosen definition of Battle Class and Fleet Class.
6.	Capital Class Ships (CCS) Fleet Class Ships (FCS)	100 ktons - 1 Mton	Fleet Rider-Carrier Fleet Battle-Tender Dreadnought	Fleet Class Ships are Capital Primary Warships. They are usually jump-capable. Such ships require major investment and only service major roles including major megacorporate interstellar trade and capital projects, Heavy Capital Warships, and other similar major endeavors. Capital Class (CCS): 100-kton - 250-kton ( = "Very-Light" World Class Ships (WCS)) Fleet Class (FCS): 250-kton - 1 Mton ( = "Light" World Class Ships (WCS)) Fleet Class 1 (FCS) - Capital Class (CCS): 100-kton - 250-kton - "Battleships" Fleet Class 2 (FCS) - Heavy Capital Class (CCS): 250-kton - 500-kton - "Heavy Battleships" Fleet Class 3 (FCS) - Superheavy Capital Class (CCS): 500-kton - 750-kton - "Superbattleships / Dreadnoughts" Fleet Class 4 (FCS) - Ultraheavy Capital Class (CCS): 750-kton - 1-Mton - "Superdreadnoughts"
7.	World Class Ships (WCS)	> 1 Mton	Loeskalth planetoid generation ship.	World Class Ships are beyond expensive and represent suprapolity-level investment. They take many years to build. This class represents immense World-Ships, very large Super Dreadnoughts, Superweapons, etc. Operational staff are typically residents as much as crew. These ships are interacted with as worlds or events, rather than ships. Small World Class 1 ("Very Light" WCS): 100-kton - 250-kton ( = "Capital Class Ships" (CCS): "Heavy" Battle Class Ships (BCS)) Small World Class 2 ("Light" WCS): 250-kton - 1-Mton ( = "Fleet Class Ships" (FCS)) "Standard" World Class ("Standard" WCS): 1-Mton - 10-Mton Large World Class ("Heavy" WCS): 10-Mton - 25-Mton +
