Fox Class Corvette-
http://www.b5tech.com/earthalliance/earthallianceshipsandvessels/earthcapships/olympus/olympus.jpg
type: Corvette
length: 444.25 meters
mass: 4.6 million metric tons
crew: 87
fighter: 6
power: 2 Fusion Reactors
duration: 8 months
weapon: 4 Pulse Cannons
2 Twin Particle Beams
2 Long Range Rail-Guns
4 Missile Racks - 20 per.
defense: 1.8 meter armored hull - 4 Mk. I Interceptors
Description: The Fox class corvette is the most common vessel in the GSN. It is roughly a third the size of the Ares class heavy cruiser whom it often escorts. The ship carries powerful fusion missiles and also carries rail guns that can punch through the thickest of armor. Two particle beams and 4 pulse cannons give the small vessel a powerful mid-range engagement envelope for a ship her size. It can also deploy six star fury fighters.
A division of these ships can be most commonly seen escorting federal convoy's throughout federation territory and beyond.
Ares Class Heavy Cruiser
http://www.b5tech.com/earthalliance/earthallianceshipsandvessels/earthcapships/hyperion/hyperion.jpg
type: Heavy Cruiser
length: 1,025.39 meters
mass: 8.4 million metric tons
crew: 356
troop: 200
fighter: 8 Starfury fighter craft
power: 3 Fusion Reactors
duration: 12 months
weapon: 2 Particle/Lasers
1 Heavy Plasma Cannon
8 Medium Pulse Cannons
Fusion missiles [2 launchers]
defense: 6 to 8 meter armored hull
10 Mk. I Interceptors
Description- Modern Grayson Heavy Cruisers are powerful warships, 1,025.39* meters in length and armed with several large gun emplacements and a full squadron of eight Starfury fighter craft in her launch bay. The Heavy Cruiser is often the first ship sent into a hazardous situation, as it can deliver a massive weapons payload and has proven time and again its resiliency in battle.
Like most Federation ships the Ares has no artificial gravity. All of the officers, soldiers and pilots on board a Heavy Cruiser live and work in a "micro-gravity" environment. Do to the degrading effect upon the human body of living in a zero gravity environment, they can not perform long term mission and usually operate only near Federation territories.
Still, with the Federation constantly expanding, many of the warships in Federation service without rotating sections have been equipped with a device referred to as the fairs wheel. This is a large rotating ring placed in strategic parts of the ship. Here, crew members can rest in a simulated gravity environment, provided by the centrifugal force of the ring's movement. These rings can hold between ten and twenty people at a time and all crew members are required to spend no less than one hour per day in the gravity ring. The fairs wheel enables the crew to exercise and maintain the strength of their bones, which can become extremely brittle in a zero gravity environment, after a given measure of time.
Avenger Class Carrier-
http://www.wolfsshipyard.mystarship.com/Drawings/Earth/Avenger.gif
type: Escort Carrier
length: 450meters
mass: 3 million metric tons
crew: 150
Pilots: 48
fighter: 48 Starfury fighter craft
power: 2Fusion Reactors
duration: 12 months
weapon: N/A
defense: 1 meter armored hull
6 Mk. I Interceptors
Description-This class vessel is as old as the Orestes class system monitors that were originally designed to escort the carrier. It is over 150 years old and its design is a simple one, 48 launch bays, and internal hanger, and an engine with a thin hull wrapped about it. It is not meant to ever be on the front lines of a battle but the 48 fighters it can contribute are a potent force indeed.
