GBD Typhon
http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/techfs/ships/typhon.jpg
Designation: Destroyer
Length: 2137.7 meters
Armaments: 5 Beam cannons, 20 laser turrets, 9 Flak turrets
Fighter Compliment: 60
Description: The Typhon was the height of Bobarian military technology when it
appeared to face enemy forces during the early days of the War. The first
Typhon was sighted at the Vega Engagement and quickly destroyed much of the Vegan 4'th fleet.
The more recent Hatshepsut class of destroyers is larger and wields a deadlier array of
armaments, but the Typhon is still a match for almost any foe.
GBSG Ankh
http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/techfs/ships/Ankh.jpg
Designation: Sentry Gun
Armaments: 2 laser turrets
Description: The Ankh sentry gun platform is the Bobarian equivalent of the Watchdog.
Both are relics that perform poorly by modern standards.
The Ankh serves to guard back-line storage depots and installations.
With no armor or shielding, the Ankh is easily destroyed. Its two small turrets can deter
unarmed raiders or badly damaged fighters, but it poses little threat to most combat craft.
GBCv Sobek
http://www.freespace2.com/images/ship_sobek/lgpic.jpg
Designation: Corvette
Length: 672.2 meters
Armaments: 3 Beam cannons, 19 laser turrets, 12 Flak turrets
Description: The Bobarian navy wanted a vessel that could single-handedly counter
powerful enemy cruisers and provide critical support to allied destroyers in battles
against enemy capital ships. The Sobek class fills those requirements admirably.
Bristling with almost three dozen turrets, these corvettes are a terror to all vessels of
cruiser size and below, while presenting a dire threat even to ships far larger than themselves.
GBB Sekhmet
http://www.freespace2.com/images/ship_sekhmet/lgpic.jpg
Designation: Bomber
Length: 23 meters
Gun Mounts: 4
Missile Banks: 3
Description: The Sekhmet is an enemy design that was adapted to Bobarian
needs by technicians at Jump-Tech Enterprises. Sporting four primary weapon banks
and three missile/bomb bays, the Sekhmet packs a massive punch. Add in a top speed
that surpasses that of some fighters and an ultra-dense molybdenum armor plating,
and it's easy to see why the Sekhmet is the favorite bomber among Bobarian pilots.
GBD Hatshepsut
http://www.freespace2.com/images/ship_hatshepsut/lgpic.jpg
Designation: Destroyer
Length: 2009.4 meters
Armaments: 6 heavy beam cannons, 25 advanced laser turrets, and 5 Flak turrets
Fighter Compliment: 156 fighters/bombers
Description: The Hatshepsut, more commonly called the "Vacuum Cleaner" or "Hoover" is one helluva destroyer,
serving at the vanguard of the modern Bobarian fleet. It is bristling with AAA and flak turrets, and it's main beams are located right down the center of the ship.
The Bobarian contractor Jump-Tech Enterprises designed the Hatshepsut to efficiently integrate the new beam cannon.
The process of retrofitting the older Typhon-class warships yielded vessels prone to system failures and reactor overloads.
Though a handful of modified Typhons remain in service, the Hatshepsut has taken over as the primary Bobarian destroyer.
GBC Aten
http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/techfs/ships/Aten.jpg
Designation: Cruiser
Length: 238.0 meters
Armaments: 6 laser turrets, and 2 Flak turrets
Description: The Aten is among the smallest of the our cruiser classes, with thin armor
and only a few, relatively weak turrets. The Aten is most often seen in the current conflict as a
rear-guard defense for convoys or installations, backing up wings of fighters and bombers.
GBG Anuket
http://www.freespace2.com/images/ship_anuket/lgpic.jpg
Designation: GasMiner
Length: 358.4 meters
Armaments: 5 laser turrets, and 2 Flak turrets
Description: The Anuket was originally designed for resource extraction in the
volatile environment of gas giants. More recently, the Anuket has been modified for nebular
operations. The Anuket has the most sophisticated sensor array available, enabling it to
navigate the intense EM maelstroms of supernova remnants. In the nebula, the Anuket plays
two important roles. First, the miner collects samples for scientific analysis and serves as a
laboratory for field experiments. Second, the Anuket gathers deuterium-rich gas for use in the
fusion drives that power the Bobarian fleet.
GBB Bakha
http://www.freespace2.com/images/ship_bakha/lgpic.jpg
Designation: Advanced Bomber
Length: 18 meters
Gun Mounts: 2
Missile Banks: 2
Description: Bobarian defense contractor Jump-Tech Enterprises designed the Bakha,
a fast, agile bomber that could still deliver a warship-shattering payload. The Bakha's dual
Akh-12 engines are baffled and masked, giving it a small profile for heat-seeking missiles.
The bomber's speed and maneuverability make it the craft of choice for taking out destroyers
and corvettes with multiple flak, AAA, and anti-ship beam turrets. Over 6,000 Bakhas have
been produced in the orbiting shipyards around Bobar Prime.
GBF Horus
http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/techfs/ships/Horus.jpg
Designation: Interceptor
Length: 19 meters
Gun Mounts: 4
Missile Banks: 2
Description: The Horus is the fastest fighter in the Bobarian fleet. Its weapon capacity
is average for a fighter, with four primary banks and two missile bays. The Horus pays for its
speed and maneuverability with thin armor and relatively weak shields. The Horus shines as
a bomber interceptor, a role Allied Command puts it in as often as possible. For offensive
operations against well-defended targets, however, the Horus is a poor choice.
GBT Isis
http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/techfs/ships/Isis.jpg
Designation: Transport
Length: 23.5 meters
Armaments: 2 Laser turrets
Description: The Isis is most often used as a military personnel transport but also
occasionally serves as a repair ship or even a tugboat, helping to maneuver large vessels into
docking bays. Two cannon turrets and thick molybdenum plating serve to protect its cargo.
Magnetic cargo locks located on the Isis's undercarriage enable it to transport small cargo
containers of supplies and munitions in emergencies.
GBS Nephthys
http://www.freespace2.com/images/ship_nephtys/lgpic.jpg
Designation: Support
Length: 30.3 meters
Description: The Nephtys is the Bobarians new support ship. It is fast and
maneuverable, a necessity when trying to dock with fighters in the heat of battle.
Jump-Tech Enterprises built a cargo bay into the rear of the ship, enabling it to carry extra
supplies and munitions during emergencies. The high number of warheads carried by the
Nephtys makes it a dangerous ship to be near when it blows up.
GBC Mentu
http://www.freespace2.com/images/ship_mentu/lgpic.jpg
Designation: Cruiser
Length: 310.6 meters
Armaments: 2 heavy beam cannons, 15 laser turrets, and 6 flak turrets
Description: The Mentu cruiser is the lightest of the next generation of Bobarian
warships. Following the Great War, allied scientists developed the beam cannons that now
serve as the primary armaments of today’s Bobarian warships. Rather than modify existing
ships, the Bobarians developed new designs to mount these weapons. The Mentu improves
on the old Aten cruiser in size and firepower. Its 23 turrets include heavy beam cannons for
duking it out with other warships, as well as flak turrets to fend off fighters and bombers.
