Fighting Ships of the Shattered Imperium is a Game Designers Workshop product.
- It is a ship source book designed for MegaTraveller.
Description (Specifications)
The Imperial Navy never planned for the worst of all possible contingencies: a far-flung Rebellion that would shatter the empire into squabbling factions, each with its own portion of the Navy’s fighting strength. Now, Imperial ship fights Imperial ship as the Rebellion drives the entire Imperium into chaos.
Fighting Ships is a compendium of immense battleships and cruisers that served with the Imperial fleet and now serve with the fleets of the many factions of the Rebellion. Included in this book are standard statistical descriptions of 58 ships, with illustrations for 16 of the most interesting.
- Battleships and dreadnoughts from tech level 11 to 15. Examples include battle tender/rider systems for tech levels 14 and 15.
- Cruisers, including the standard cruisers from tech level 11 to 15, plus strike cruisers, missile cruisers, and the Jump-6 rift cruiser.
- Carriers, from the standard fleet carriers to the newest light carrier and pocket carrier.
- Escorts, from the ED-series escort destroyers to the escort fleet and escort missile ships that maneuver with the fleet.
- Auxiliaries, from the standard fleet tankers to the dromedary combination tanker and resupply ship, plus the rift tanker for operations in the Rifts.

Meta-history & Background (Dossier)
Fighting Ships of the Shattered Imperium is a compendium of 58 starships, initially designed for the Imperial Navy, now in use by the many factions of the Rebellion.
- It was apparently a product rushed to printing because it is full of typos and missing illustrations.
- The art is beautiful, bit no accompanying flavor text is associated with individual ship entries or the illustrations that about a quarter of them have.
- Many of the ships appear to have Type S scout vessels docked to their noses, but there is no explanation of why these images occur.
- Several images are previewed at the beginning of a chapter and then don't appear elsewhere.
- The Missile Tankers aren't explained at all, and appear to be regular tankers that replaced their normal loads with massed missile bays. No explanation.
- There is no explanation of the difference between an escort and a destroyer.
- One fighter appears and no others. Strange.
- The Dromedary mixed replenishment ship / tanker ship is barely explained.
- The tech charts are fascinating, but only get a paragraph or two each that barely explain what they mean.
- All in all, it's a very neat, but frustratingly ill conceived Traveller gaming book.
