'''Stormbringer Class Fleet Tenders''' built with covert [[Solomani]] naval assistance and technical advisors in exchange for some political favors, these are the center piece of the people's defense forces. It is armed with forty weapon bays, ten of each of the following: missile, particle accelerators, plasma guns, and repulsors. It is designed to be able to transport two complete system defense squadrons into trouble areas. Several systems are not advanced enough to support continuous naval activities and ships are moved into position only when needed. They carry two platoons of marines and are part of the [[The Democratic People's Defense Forces]]. It carries (20) or two squadrons of [[Fearless Class Fighter]]s, (4) Scouts, (4) [[Knuckle Head Class System Defense Monitor]]s, (4) [[Flare Class Gunboat]]s.
