The Indomitable class Battleship is a heavy warship.

Description (Specifications)

The Indomitable class Battleship is a historical design of vessel. It was the first entirely TL-12 warship fielded by the Terran Confederation against the Vilani First Imperium and the first mass-produced class of capital ship to mount spinal Meson Weapons. It remained in service for more than a century and is credited with swinging the balance of power irrevocably in favor of the Terrans during the later Interstellar Wars.

History & Background (Dossier)

More than any other ship class, the Indomitable and its sister ships were responsible for breaking the back of the Vilani Imperial Navy. The keel of the first Indomitable was laid in 2239, in the heady days immediately following the Eighth Interstellar War. She was the first capital ship to be constructed purely from TL-12 technology. As such, she had capabilities that had never been seen before, in any Terran or Imperial warship. The Indomitable class of battleships soon became the cornerstone of Grand Admiral Albadawi’s strategy for the defeat of the Imperium. The design was eminently successful. Indomitable and her sister ships took part in every major naval offensive mounted by the Terran Navy, from the early battles of the Ninth Interstellar War to the final surrender of the Imperium.

Indomitable herself served as Grand Admiral Albadawi’s flagship during the Ninth Interstellar War. Unstoppable laid down history’s first meson-cannon barrage during the Battle of Muan Kwoyen, destroying numerous Imperial ships. Although Imperial news dispatches claimed six times that one of these ships had been destroyed, not one was actually lost to enemy fire. They did survive many close calls and near misses – such as the incident in which Terrible was rammed by a Vilani destroyer during intense fighting over Sylea. Still, their sheer size, toughness, and firepower made them queens of the battlefield for over a century. The Indomitable carried a double strength squadron of 20 laser-armed fighters. These small craft were primarily used for close-in defense, freeing up the battleship’s weapon mounts for ship-killing systems. On occasion, they were hurled forward for deep penetration raids or other audacious maneuvers.

Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities

Ships in the Indomitable class were usually named after martial virtues, in the style of ships of the line in the ancient Terran Age of Sail.

The primary weakness of the Indomitable class was logistic rather than tactical. The ship’s hull was so tightly packed that there was almost no room for cargo, including spare parts and consumables. As a result, the battleships were unable to mount raids away from the main body of the Terran fleet. Crews sometimes packed needed goods into spare staterooms and bunk rooms, but this led to severe crowding on board.

The Agrippa class Destroyer Escort is a light warship.

Description (Specifications)

This vessel was constructed for the Terran Confederation Navy and commonly referred to as the Agrippa class Corvette. Typical missions for the Agrippa class included convoy escort and perimeter patrol. Its jump capacity and high acceleration qualified it as a true escort, often deployed to run alongside destroyer Squadrons.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Agrippa-class corvette was first designed after the Third Interstellar War (after -2362), in response to growing saber-rattling activity along the Imperial rim. Capable of extremely high acceleration, it was able to get to a trouble spot in minimal time. Its heavy emphasis on beam weapons permitted it to deal out harsh damage at close range, or to act as a missile shield for convoys.

The vessel first saw action during the Fourth Interstellar War (-2349 to -2346), remaining in service throughout the later Interstellar Wars period and into the Rule of Man. Few examples of the class survived the Long Night.

Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities

Ships of the Agrippa class were named after famous “wet-navy” officers of the pre-spaceflight era on Terra. The class ship itself was named after Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, possibly the greatest naval commander of the late Roman Republic, an ancient Terran polity.

Starships are designed with the Classic Traveller format, using High Guard.

The Kargash class Light Cruiser forms the backbone of the Imperial fleet’s raiding squadrons.

Description (Specifications)

As is typical with Vilani warships, these vessels are designed primarily to serve as missile platforms. The small craft loadout varies (and is not included in the performance listed below), but the most typical configuration includes three standard 30-dton ship’s boats.

[1]

History & Background (Dossier)

Imperial light cruisers are typically found in groups of 10, with numerous destroyers and destroyer escorts running alongside. Alone, a single Kargash can deliver devastating blows to an enemy’s vessel. When light cruisers are used in concert with all of their escorts, they are a sight to be feared.

[Adip Class Missile Fighter]]

The Imperial Navy used fighter craft, but Vilani fighter doctrine was not very aggressive. A fighter squadron’s function was to emerge from its mother ship, remain at a distance from the enemy, add to the weight of the fleet’s missile volleys, and then return for reloading. As a result, Vilani fighter pilots tended to be more lightly trained and to have less esprit de corps than their Terran counterparts – a fatal flaw once the Terrans built their own fighter wings and their own (much more aggressive) fighter doctrine.

The Adip class Missile Fighter was produced in vast numbers and carried on a wide variety of warships.

Description (Specifications)

This design was a clear representative of Vilani ship building philosophies. A sleek, streamlined saucer that was simple and efficient, quick and agile. It carried two crew and a pair of missile launchers for the swarming missile volleys, from a safe distance, that was a favored tactic. Everything was going great with that, by the way, until they met the Solomani...

The Shamshir class Destroyer Escort is a light warship.

Description (Specifications)

The Shamshir is a typical Vilani destroyer escort. It relies on its size and speed to protect its charges, running alongside while looking for hostiles that might be trying to make flanking attacks. Its lack of capital-ship weaponry is not a drawback in this role, as it is able to shoot at many targets at once. Terran forces have often managed to lure a Shamshir into an unequal engagement, drawing one away from the main fleet. Without any support from the main guns of other ships, this vessel is easily destroyed.
