This category is for Battle Class Ships (BCS), which are Naval Vessels larger than 2,500 tons displacement. Different sources disagree as to the upper cutoff range of the Battle Class, some cutting it at just below the range of Capital Vessels, others extending it into the lower range of smaller capital vessels. [1]

  • Private and Commercial sector terminology generally refers to vessels of this size category as the "Bulk Class" (BCS).


Ship Classification by Size
# Type Tonnage Remarks
1. 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.
  • 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. [2]
2. Capital Class Ships (CCS)
Fleet Class Ships (FCS) 		100 ktons
-
1 Mton 		Fleet Class Ships are Capital Primary Warships.
  • 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.
  1. ↑ 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 has been defined as a term to define the overlap (100 ktons - 250 ktons). - WHULorigan
