Corrin Class Battleship

http://www.kamodder.com/~minbari_capt/modpics/centauri1.jpg

The Corrin battle cruiser is the pride of the Ortagan Solar Navy. Named after the ruling family of the Grand Duchy, the battle cruiser is a mammoth war vessel that forms the core of any fleet. The ship features the cream of Ortagan technology, including gravitic shields and the best artificial gravity propulsion systems available. Although there have been no new Corrins built in over a decade, those in services are carefully maintained and constantly updated to keep the ships up to speed.

Illuminati Class Battle Cruiser

The Illuminati has become the most common capital ship seen outside of Ortagan territory. The ship is not as large as the Corrin Battle Cruisers, but it is nonetheless an impressive ship. Equipped with standard Ortagan gravimetric technology, an a strong weapons complement, the Illuminati’s are a capable ship in their own right, and far easier to deploy over long duration than the larger Corrins.

Eagle Class Assault Cruiser

One of the newer vessels in the Ortagan Solar Navy, the Eagle Class was designed as a high-speed attack and escort vessel. The ship combines ion particle engines and gravimetric drives to maximize both maneuverability and speed, making the Eagle the fastest ship in the Solar Navy and possibly in the whole of the Proxima Centauri Defense Initiative as well. Although the Eagle carries a somewhat limited weapons payload, the ones it possess make up for the smaller numbers in terms of power. Perhaps the largest drawback to the Eagles is their lack of a landing bay to carry fighters. Even with its few shortcomings, the Eagles are still impressive vessels and form the main part of the Solar Navy.

Dragon Class Strike Cruiser

The Dragon Class Strike Cruiser fills the gap between the Eagle Class Assault Cruiser and the light ships of Ortagan Solar Navy. Although it is slower than the newer Eagle Class, the Dragon makes up for its speed by carrying a squadron of Spectre Class Interceptors. The Spectres and the ships excellent mixture of weapons combine to make the Dragon into a formidable opponent. Most often it is used as patrol vessel and primary recon/skirmish vessel of larger fleets.

Mirage Class Destroyer

The newest addition to the Ortagan Solar Navy, the Mirage has three purposes: reconnaissance, close ship combat, and close ship support. The weakest of the Ortagan capital ships, the Mirage is lightly crewed and is not meant to engage heavier ships, unless it is with a task force or in a large group of its own kind. Typically, the Mirages are grouped with Dragon Strike Cruisers for patrol missions, or with Eagles and heavier ships for combat flank support. Almost as fast as the Eagle, the Mirage’s main advantage is its speed and small size.

Juniper Class Escort Carrier

The Juniper Class Escort Carrier serves only one purpose: fighter support. The Juniper allows the Solar Navy to deploy fighters from a mobile base without having to use a Corrin Battleship or an Illuminati Battle Cruiser. However, its usefulness ends there. The Juniper is poorly armed and its defenses leave little to boast about. However, the Juniper performs its job well, and is cheap to manufacture.

Fighters

Spectre Class Interceptor

The Spectre Class Interceptor is the core of Solar Navy’s fighter core. The Spectre is capable of both atmospheric and non-atmospheric combat, although it truly shines in non-atmospheric environments. Carrying a micro-fusion reactor based on Ortagan matter/antimatter converters, the Spectre can sustain longer flight times than typical fusion reactor powered fighters. The advanced reactors also allow the Spectre to carry its two powerful ion cannons, which although not at the level of warship ions are no less deadly. The fighter carries an advanced onboard computer system that allows the pilot to perform drastic and stressful maneuvers that will hold these pre-programmed maneuvers even if the pilot blacks out. The main disadvantage of the Spectre is that it sacrifices armor for the sake of its speed and agility.

Civilian Craft, General Sale Items

Wind Rider Class Shuttle

This reliable shuttle is produced and used throughout the territory of the Grand Duchy of New Ortaga, by civilian and military authorities alike. Although not very large, the Wind Riders’ high rate of accelerations, speed, and maneuverability make it an excellent craft. The ship has a redundant power system, featuring a micro-fusion reactor and secondary batteries for emergencies. It can be adapted for both personnel transport or cargo runs. Also the advanced onboard computer systems allow even an untrained pilot to use the craft, should the situation call for it.

Sorry to disappoint you but I am a nation mostly of Terrans. I just like Centauri technology and ships.

A Bump for the sake of our ally. Might I also say that I enjoy the picture of the Corrin/Primus ship.

And you may get to see it in action soon, Valinon. This is also a poorly disguised bump for any sales. I have a dream of surpassing Klonor and his never-ending ship threads.

Hm. Apparently my account was temporarily hacked. I was not responsible for the noobish post in l33t speak. Anyway the thing got deleted, and I'm changing my password. If there are any other posts like that that got away from me, I'd appreciate a telegram.
