A number of Basic Ship [[Size-Role Classification]]s are based upon the relative size of a ship in [[ton]]nage terms:
 +
* [[Adventure Class Ship]] ([[ACS]])
 +
* [[Battle Class Ship]] ([[BCS]])
 +
:* ''[[Capital Class Ship]] ([[CCS]]): <small>([[BCS|Large BCS]] / [[FCS|Small FCS]])</small>'' <ref>''T5.10 Book 2, p.31 defines the BCS range as 2,500 tons - 100 ktons and the FCS range as > 100 ktons, whereas the MgT2 Starship Operators Manual, p.6 defines the BCS range as 2,500 tons - 250 ktons and the FCS range as 250 ktons - 1 Mton.  The Capital Class (CCS) range is introduced here to define the overlap (100 ktons - 250 ktons).  - [[WHULorigan]]''</ref>
 +
* [[Fleet Class Ship]] ([[FCS]])
 +
* [[World Class Ship]] ([[WCS]])
 +
 
 +
But this is problematic, because by the end of every three [[tech level]]s (...or [[tech epoch]]), the maximum of minimum size of [[naval architecture]], these parameters change. The [[Imperial Navy]] and the [[Imperial Interstellar Scout Service]] have employed a system based upon rough standards based on [[tech epoch]]s over its many centuries of experience.

  • Small/Light ACS Craft
  • Ship-Type Code "Q-"
2. Spacecraft 100 tons
or larger 		Spacecraft are in-system vessels, lacking interstellar drives. (Occasionally known as "Bigcraft" or "Spaceships" or "System Ships")
3. Starships 100 tons
or larger 		Starships are vessels with interstellar drives. (Occasionally known as "Largecraft")
4. Adventure Class Ships (ACS) 10 tons
-
2,400 tons 		Adventure Class Ships are usually jump-capable.

5. Battle Class Ships (BCS)
Capital Class Ships (CCS) 		2,500 tons
-
250 ktons 		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.
» "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
» "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. [1]
6. Capital Class Ships (CCS)
Fleet Class Ships (FCS) 		100 ktons
-
1 Mton 		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.
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 +

Ship Tonnage & Organizational Schema[edit]

A number of Basic Ship Size-Role Classifications are based upon the relative size of a ship in tonnage terms:

But this is problematic, because by the end of every three tech levels (...or tech epoch), the maximum of minimum size of naval architecture, these parameters change. The Imperial Navy and the Imperial Interstellar Scout Service have employed a system based upon rough standards based on tech epochs over its many centuries of experience.

TL:13-15 Tonnage Standards[edit]

Tonnage Standards by Tech Epoch: TL:13-15
Size-Class Tech Epoch Tonnage Remarks
ACS TL:13-15 100 to 2,499 tons These vessels can be operated by small crews, supported by minor organizations, and serviced at almost any major shipyard or starport.
  • They vessels tend to conduct the lion's share of private and commercial activity for any given sophontic society at this tech epoch.
BCS TL:13-15 2,500 to 100,000 / (» 249,999) tons These vessels require significant shipyards to construct and represent large-scale investment of funds, personnel, and resources.
  • They conduct all of paramilitary and military missions of a major polity.
CCS TL:13-15 100,000 to 249,999 tons 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. [3]
FCS TL:13-15 (100,000 «) / 250,000 to 999,999 tons Around 500k tonnage is considered the largest practical size in terms of cost-time benefit.
  • Only a limited number of these vessels may be built so only major combatants, very serious industrial & scientific applications, or major government projects will build ships in this size range.
WCS TL:13-15 1,000,000 tons or larger Such vessels are beyond expensive and represent suprapolity-level investment in many, many RU's that take years to manufacture and sometimes decades.
  • These ships are almost impossibly large for their time and take several generations of leaders and a focused society to construct. They are only built for immensely important missions.

TL:10-12 Tonnage Standards[edit]

Tonnage Standards by Tech Epoch: TL:10-12
Size-Class Tech Epoch Tonnage Remarks
ACS TL:10-12 100 to 1,999 tons These vessels can be operated by small crews, supported by minor organizations, and serviced at almost any major shipyard or starport.
  • They vessels tend to conduct the lion's share of private and commercial activity for any given sophontic society at this tech epoch.
BCS TL:10-12 2,000 to 75,000 / (» 199,999) tons These vessels require significant shipyards to construct and represent large-scale investment of funds, personnel, and resources.
  • They conduct all of paramilitary and military missions of a major polity.
CCS TL:10-12 75,000 to 199,999 tons The Higher End of Battle Class Ships and the Lower End of Fleet Class Ships (75,000 - 200,000 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. [4]
FCS TL:10-12 (75,000 «) / 200,000 tons to 749,999 tons Around 250k tonnage is considered the largest practical size in terms of cost-time benefit.
  • Only a limited number of these vessels may be built so only major combatants, very serious industrial & scientific applications, or major government projects will build ships in this size range.
WCS TL:10-12 750,000 tons or larger Such vessels are beyond expensive and represent suprapolity-level investment in many, many RU's that take years to manufacture and sometimes decades.
  • These ships are almost impossibly large for their time and take several generations of leaders and a focused society to construct. They are only built for immensely important missions.

TL:7-9 Tonnage Standards[edit]

Tonnage Standards by Tech Epoch: TL:7-9
Size-Class Tech Epoch Tonnage Remarks

BCS TL:7-9 1,000 to 49,999 / (» 149,999) tons These vessels require significant shipyards to construct and represent large-scale investment of funds, personnel, and resources.
  • They conduct all of paramilitary and military missions of a major polity.
CCS TL:7-9 50,000 to 149,999 tons The Higher End of Battle Class Ships and the Lower End of Fleet Class Ships (75,000 - 200,000 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. [5]
FCS TL:7-9 (50,000 «) / 150,000 to 499,999 tons Around 100k tonnage is considered the largest practical size in terms of cost-time benefit.
  • Only a limited number of these vessels may be built so only major combatants, very serious industrial & scientific applications, or major government projects will build ships in this size range.
WCS TL:7-9 500,000 tons or larger Such vessels are beyond expensive and represent suprapolity-level investment in many, many RU's that take years to manufacture and sometimes decades.
  • These ships are almost impossibly large for their time and take several generations of leaders and a focused society to construct. They are only built for immensely important missions.
