The Zeus class Railgun Carrier.
The Zeus uses a large rail cannon to accelerate 155mm rounds to Mach 10, providing a very powerful punch, even capable of firing at targets in orbit! However, it is slow, at 26 mph.
The Sarlham Class BattleCruiser

Loaded with 8 "Rod of God" Massdrivers, hypervelocity missile tubes and 40 retractable weapons turrets loaded with railguns, lasers, missiles, and more, the Sarlham Class is a true brute. Current specifications classified, but 6 have been built at our mining colony of Sarlham.
Berliston Class Frigate

A supplement to the Frisia Class, this ship focuses more on defense against fighters and missile weaponry. However, it retains 1 spinal mount "Rod of God" Massdriver. It has ventral and dorsal mounted HVM racks, along with lasers and railguns. 10 have been built at the K-65 Shipyard, and 5 at Sarlham.
Winters Class Orbital Deployment Ship

A ship designed for deployment of transatmospheric "pods" (Heavy Cargo Pods shown), this ship is the way for USNE troops to get fast, quick deployment. It's forward sensor/ECM/ECCM cluster gives it good eyes and defense, while it's 6 70mm retractable Pulsefire Railgun turrets and 1 laser/missile turret give it enough weapons to hold for itself incase of fighter attacks.
Merchant Class Assault Transport

Think this is an ordinary cargo ship? Think again. This multipurpose vessel packs a punch, if the launch of the 4 Hyper-Velocity missiles shown here didn't que you in, along with the 2 double barreled heavy railgun turrets. 6 retractable 70mm PFRG turrets and laser defense are also built in. It also provides 312,461 square feet of cargo space. It also has a lot of sensors and salvage gear, making it good for rescue operations. And the crew is relatively low due to automation in the systems.
Buffalo Class Supply and Cargo Ship

It isn't glamorous, but some ship has gotta do it. And the Buffalo does it well. The red area shown is the cargo pod bay, currently occupied. It can carry about 430,000 square feet of cargo, and can be converted into a medical ship or other auxiliary vessel with relative ease. It has 2 Rectractable 70mm PFRG turrets, and a laser defense system.
