A noteworthy Coloniser was the Supernova - colloquially known as the “HMS S**tstorm”.
During the battle of Vega-4 this derelict colonyship was lashed with as many Heavy Vent Cannons as the hull could
support and crewed by a skeleton crew of heroes who knew they were not coming back. The Supernova then drifted into
the mass of the enemy fleet and unleashed superheated plasma until there was almost nothing left of either fleet.

Recorded ships of the class: Amazon, Vega, Leonardo (Independents), Nightblade (Kalium)
The Amazon class grand battleship is an unusual warship in that it was never commissioned by the pre-war
EAA navy. Rather, the class was the brainchild of Trident Industrial’s increasingly unhinged CEO, Ingram Chi.
Although it utilises Trident’s typical superstructure, its internals are re-worked to accommodate an enormous,
ship-length mass driver simply called ‘The Annihilator’. Over 200 years later, this remains the longest and
highest calibre accelerator weapon ever built into a human starship. Given the uprated power core matrix
needed to hurl bulk-lander-sized hunks of jacketed lead downrange, the class also mounts a pair of formidable, if
unstable, heavy vent cannon turrets.
Trident kept TIS Amazon as flagship of its private fleet, since the navy never accepted its bloated cost or ruinous
service rates. Still, it is rumoured that Ingram Chi ordered the construction of six other Amazons, so confident
was he of orders, which explains the recent sightings of two examples among the Vega Scrapfleet and one in
Kalium’s navy.

The Argonaut class was once the answer to an EAA procurement order for an endurance-oriented flagship
for exploration fleets. At the time, all other grand battleships had vast power requirements, necessitating
overloaded cores and frequent refits during operations.
In answer, all the Argonaut’s weapons consume minimal power at rest and not much more when fired. Indeed,
this approach was so successful that space was freed up for additional munitions. The class’ main weakness is
finite ammunition, making it best suited to lengthy patrols with occasional bouts of combat. This trait made the
class one of the great survivors of the Scourge invasion - it is the most common grand battleship still extant, not
that any of these leviathans can be called common.
In battle, broadsides of chemically-fired cannons are complimented by a frightening array of close action
missiles. However, the class’ main threat is its triple torpedo tubes, allowing a simultaneous spread of three of
these ship-killing munitions, with a second ready in internal loading compartments.

Recorded ships of the class: Aurora Major, Enchantress, The Far Keep (Independents), Kabal’s Arbiter, Justice
(Kalium)
The Myrmidon was a late-production offshoot of the popular Argonaut class. Just prior to the Scourge invasion,
the Argonaut had been produced by three major corporations for over four decades, each using a proprietary,
evolving superstructure. As a result, no two Myrmidons are exactly alike, and some diverge wildly.
The Myrmidon was considered more of an all-rounder, keeping the same power matrix as typical grand
battleships but channelling most of that combat energy into two heavy vent cannon turrets. Almost total firing
capability can be extracted while under significant thrust, possible due to the low power consumption of the
ship’s other weapons. Remaining power could be channelled into an archaic but potent scanning array to paint
enemy targets for the hungry guns of friendly vessels.
This range of capabilities made the class popular among cavalier admirals who were willing to overlook the
danger posed by vent canon technology to their own crews. It is telling that Kalium is the only body known to
still build Myrmidons.

Command’s shadowy Section Green, without civilian government knowledge. If true the

military was preparing contingencies for city-wide insurrections; if not the government
was. Some whisper that a military coup was tabled and this was an anti-uprising deterrent,
though the Scourge put paid to anyone’s plans. Though comparatively rare then, most
Senators survived the invasion since friendly fire on a biblical scale would have resulted if
such terrors were used in “defence”. Kalium is rumoured to build these new - disquieting, if
unsurprising.

The Senator carries three armoured VX nerve agent torpedoes packed with dispersal
cluster bomblets. If detonated over a city, any contact with the agent results in spasms,
vomiting, paralysis and asphyxiation, leaving infrastructure untouched. As a terror
weapon, the Senator carries no significant long range anti-ship firepower, but does
include powerful missile turrets for close defence. Combat doctrine stressed the use of the
Senator’s then advanced detector array to warn of enemy vessels, or roving reporters after
the scandal of the century.

Pre-war System Admirals had unconscionable budgets and could procure ships for their battlefleet with little Beam: 188m
oversight from Earth. When it came to their personal ship, this created the conditions for a strange offering from Height: 127m
the naval yards: opulence. Trident Industrial met this need lavishly with the Palatine Class Command Barge. An
Displacement:
unusual ship of battlecruiser tonnage, it shares the typical style on the outside, but inside, no expense was spared.
Marble, ebony and craftsmanship are terms you don’t hear in military circles. Indeed, a single Palatine cost more 22,331,000m³
than three Grand Battleships to build. The class features twelve overlarge lifeboats of unique design, the Magellan,
each closer to an armoured yacht than an escape craft. Even the ship’s guns use expensive, low-observable shells to reduce the ship’s signature in combat.
To offset this fabulous cost, Trident Industrial offered vessels to the private sector; owners included planetary governors, corporate titans and infamous
syndicate heads.

Though rare, a high proportion survived the Scourge invasion and the hard centuries that followed due to quality, their excessive point defences, and the
fact that owners weren’t generally the sorts to go down fighting. Since everything on the Palatine was overbuilt to the highest standards, survivors are still
prized, capable ships. Their bygone splendour and the hand-ground perfection of their optics even make them worthwhile to the Republic’s Grand Fleet,
which operates several, mostly the former property of prophesy-spooked CEOs. Kalium possesses two which the UCM is aware of, although apparently their
more opulent spaces have been painted grey—they’re still Shangrilanian inlay underneath. The UCM has five on their lists, including River Queen, which
is reserved for Presidential use. Such ships could be built today, but the cost would make no military sense—it never did.

Olympus Prime, the design was soon licensed to Earth-based Equatorial Yards

operates legacy Olympus Centurions.
Its simple but effective all-gun primary armament provides an excellent blend of
destructive power and reliability. The class requires low weapon maintenance - a
welcome factor that certainly isn’t the case with some of the more esoteric and
experimental armaments in mankind’s pre-war arsenal.
Its primary armament is broadsides of transition mass drivers, alongside an

Designs for Resistance cruisers are widely varied, to the point where listing each variation ever sighted
would be as expansive as a list of each individual admiral in the galaxy. As such, it’s best to describe them
in general terms, focused more on their capabilities and armaments than form.
In this context, a “cruiser” means anything from a Heavy Cruiser to a Light Cruiser, as the UCM would
classify them. A further complication is the optional presence of ablative armour panels, adding the
classification of “armoured” to the description. Typically, all Resistance cruisers offer respectable
survivability, low cost and a broad choice of weaponry. However, their outdated designs do show in poor
scan range and limited point defence.
Some of these vessels have been adapted from civilian service, generally by adding weapons. Such
modified ships often have ablative armour added to overcome their relatively weak designs. Kalium also
produces many such low-spec vessels for direct military use, which perform similarly to these adapted
ships. This keeps costs low, giving the Kabal numbers to boast over.

innovate, with a focus on numbers. However, after Kalium’s first major blooding in
the opening stages of the Battle for Earth, deficiencies became apparent. Visitors Beam: 214m
to UCM vessels brought back memories (and hushed whispers) that their ships Height: 256m
might not be as advanced as their Kabal proclaimed. While combat performance Displacement:
was solid, helped by the iron discipline of their career-sailors, the lack of modern 10,854,000m³
‘dressings’ in crew areas verged on embarrassing. Clunky 2D viewscreens, general
lack of lighting and spartan comforts were more visible than inefficient drives and
un-optimised construction.
Kaluim’s latest vessels, while essentially the same underneath, have a more
modern, distinct appearance as well as countless internal refinements. Kalium
still does not favour colourful class names, though. A ‘KNC-5’ (Kalium Navy
Cruiser, Type 5) is one of their most common, new line cruisers, armed with a pair
of vent cannon turrets and a potent close action missile array.

Kalium’s newest vessels’ unique aesthetic suggests a deliberate attempt by the Length: 1009m
Kabal to ‘brand’ their forces, or at least to make them distinct from the old,
tired ships of Resistance fleets. Certainly, the brutalist design speaks of utility, Beam: 237m
strength and a total distain for beauty - not that the UCM cares much for those Height: 315m
either, but at least they don’t seem to revel in them. The KNC-12 Fleet Carrier is Displacement:

The increasing percentage of these newest vessels in recent engagements
speaks of the extreme speed at which the Kabal can build ships - helped,
no doubt, by the multitudes under the whip of penal servitude. Their
manufacturing capacity is also fearsome, as scattered reports of the class
operating under the flag of several Resistance fleets now exist, suggesting that
Kalium’s resupply arrangements, as the only manufacturer of old military
hardware, have expanded greatly in recent months.

As with cruisers, the sheer variety of frigate designs in service with the Resistance is staggering. Similarly,
it’s best to discuss them in terms of capability and armament. Many of these ships were originally civilian-
grade, but have since had weapons added in response to dire need.
All Resistance frigates are faster than cruisers, offering a first strike/ flanking option. They are often used
to seek and destroy key enemy vessels early in an engagement, to protect the larger ships in the fleet. Their
weapons basically define their role and mode of attack, be that aggressive close-action or standoff fire. In
this context, the term “frigate” also encompasses Strike Carriers and unarmed Electronic Warfare Ships.
A common pre-war practice was the production of Heavy Frigates, heavily armoured often with two main
weapon systems. These have fallen out of favour with the UCMF due to high cost and the drain of dual
weapons systems on engine power.

found, explored and given a node. Such dependable hardiness ensured three
centuries’ service. In size and capability they equal a modern destroyer, though
in displacement they are more akin to cruisers due to multiple redundancies,
cavernous storage and antique tech.
The Armstrong class was usually the first ship to make a jump before others
followed its onboard node. This was due to its prodigious laser cluster, charged to
obliterate any hazards at the jump point. Later, Armstrongs would begin the long,
arduous task of clearing orbital debris before surface landings. Today, weapons
designed to atomise thousands of tons of asteroid are better put to use in the
much more immediate task of slicing hulls and fighting back enemy fighters,
bombers and munitions.

in the air when far from their carriers. These aging exploration vessels proved 3,441,000m³
priceless in the Resistance’s years evading the Scourge, finding refuge and
hunting resources - every aspect of their design matched the challenge.
Support Carriers were especially prized - any sensible admiral maintained a
fighter picket for early warning and defence. In addition, the tough fuel haulers
and engineering wings support carriers could deploy were endlessly useful - that
so many creaking dinosaurs still comprise Resistance fleets is a testament to
their value. In combat, these unsung heroes can keep a fighter screen fuelled and
re-armed long after unsupported squadrons would need to bug-out. Although
the Collins is able to launch a mass of smaller ships, it lacks the internal space to
house a fleet of its own, filled with fuel tanks and masses of repair bays. So more
often than not, a Collins is seen aiding the defence of larger carriers.

than a ship, suiting its near-static mission profile. With the speed of the Scourge 4,245,000m³
invasion, few could manoeuvre into a firing position - unfortunate since it packs
an enormous mass driver for a frigate-sized vessel. The XN-40 “Godray” was
designed to destroy incoming targets long before they could return fire. It sits on a
swivel mount, allowing not only tracking of deep space, but precise bombardment
of surface targets. Pre-war this was largely used to quell any thoughts of
insurrection or to level inhospitable landscape prior to surface exploration.
Today, the Newton still brings incredible firepower for its cost, at the price of speed
and survivability. This gives it a valued place on the gun line of any Resistance or
Kalium admiral capable of harnessing this ship’s strengths. Although unwieldy
to bring to a forward position, its bombardment and anti-shipping firepower can
lend the class a new lease of life in an offensive role.

Galileo orbital telescopes are among the oldest human ships still flying. In the
earliest days of foldspace exploration, jumps to un-noded locations had to be Displacement:
conducted in drive-wearing ‘hops’ or random inaccuracy would result. Surveying 3,775,000m³
potential jump locations for potential and celestial threats necessitated a ship
built around a gigantic, high-power scanner. Speed was unimportant, so the
superstructure of the more common Newton class monitor was chosen as an
efficient, low-cost base. Never a military vessel, the Galileo is unarmed besides
basic point defence.
Surviving Galileos were vital to stranded Resistance fleets forced to use archaic
jump-hops to seek the meagre resources not already discovered and either
captured by the Scourge or (as with the Colonies) had their node codes changed.
Being able to detect enemy activity from a vast distance is also of great use to those
small remnant fleets hiding in the cracks of the galaxy - lest they be ambushed.
At battlespace level, such observational power can be turned on in-system targets
to achieve extraordinary definition unachievable with smaller hardware. This can
augment Resistance vessels’ older scanning technology and aid a skilled captain
in targeting vulnerable spots on enemy ships.

The Sagittarii is essentially an engine bank with a weapons suite attached to the Displacement:
prow. Extraordinarily fast (especially for a Resistance vessel), almost all the ship’s 6,128,000m³
power is consumed by the drives, necessitating a low power primary armament.
Fortunately, pre-war designers still used crude, chemical-based guns and they
mounted four of the largest in fixed-forward positions. Though much fatter, the
N-12 cannon offers destructive parity with modern medium mass rivers.
Built in various configurations over the years, the Sagittarii is a typical pre-war
cutter, if ‘typical’ can even be applied to such a specialist ship. Cutters were bulkier
and actually more common in the EAA Navy than in the modern UCMF, since
speed could compensate for inferior scanning technology in first strike missions.
Many escaped the Scourge invasion using that speed and have been valued assets
to the Resistance ever since. Kalium’s Kabal appreciate the brutal simplicity of the
design, so still manufacture them new in state-run yards.

pocket carrier.
Typically, a carrier will operate beyond line of sight or shielded within the fleet
to strike at the enemy’s centre. Since almost nothing can keep pace with the
Baleares, it fights quite differently and offers unusual advantages. Baleares
captains use their speed to break out from the main fleet, surge forward and
launch their daring waves at small, rearguard support vessels. These targets
usually offer little point defence, making them vulnerable to strike craft though
they are usually beyond their range - not so with the Baleares.

Although the Resistance does operate corvettes, very few survived the Scourge invasion. Being designed to
operate from atmosphere, they were the very furthest ships from any jump point and had to face the first
waves of Scourge corvettes and Strike Carriers. Those that did escape were generally forced to withdraw
early on due to combat damage.
However, such small ships require modest orbital slips to construct. As a result of the obvious need to
protect their Strike Carriers, many Resistance fleets with the resources have attempted to build new ones,
with mixed success. Certainly, the Vega Scrapfleet has proved capable, and of course Kalium builds these
hunter-killers in large quantities. The Munifex is a fairly typical corvette – fast, atmospheric-capable and
designed to kill Strike Carriers, as well as their opposite numbers. It is armed with specialist missiles,

Though lacking in military resources, most fleets scattered by the Scourge Length: 470m
invasion had a high proportion of merchantmen - rightly more likely to run than Displacement:
engage. Forced to be inventive, ragtag Resistance groups sought to repurpose 3,441,000m³
civilian vessels to military ends. Haulers often make poor gun platforms but
offer capacious internal holds. When combined with ‘repurposed’ shuttles,
yachts and small transports, a formidable weapon can result: the Detonator, a
hive of remote-operated, explosive-packed fire ships. The most common vessel
is a Seneca class - unweildy and utilitarian, it offered pre-war traders the largest
storage for the lowest cost, although many other patterns are in service in this
unlikely role.
Crewing a repurposed flimsy brick fizzing with improvised time bombs is not for
the sane and/or skittish. These individuals are treated with wary respect when
on shore leave, notable in the bar due to singed hair - if they’ve survived to douse
their burns in booze. In the service of Kalium, Detonators are employed in an
altogether more sinister, regimented fashion, which says a lot of how much the
Kabal values flesh and blood.
