During the Long Night Ushran retained enough jump capability to maintain and operate a battle fleet. Their admiralty had several designs at their disposable. They clashed with Ziadd fleets and corsairs as a matter of course.

Avenger Class Escort Carrier

Armed with 50 triple missile turrets, 10 triple pulse laser turrets, 15 dual fusion gun turrets, and 7 triple sand-caster turrets; this design was one of four completed during the war. All three were originally merchant ships. Two were eventually lost in battle. They carried a single squadron of 15 Namor Class patrol torpedo craft. The computer systems proved too limited for a fleet combatant, the fiber optic back-ups grafted to the civilian designed computational core tended to shed target tracks when overloaded, making accurate gunnery difficult.

Namor Class Patrol Torpedo Craft

Originally intended as a small system defense boat, these expensive fast attack craft were eventually deployed aboard carriers and sent into offensive fleet action. The large fusion reactor and advanced computer were to blame for the cost. A total of 146 of these craft were built under license to help the war effort. The design was equipped with an emergency low berth, to be shared by the three man crew. The armor and weapons load proved too light to be effective against heavily armored enemy designs and its spread of three mark 8 torpedoes often missed despite a good fire control system.
