"With great power, comes great responsibility."
The Federated Stellar Republics of Wormia does not recognize purchasing authority by nations under 200 million
Thank you for visiting the Wormian Starship Storefront,
It is constantly updated as often as our ships become too much in excess. It is in these cases which we proudly offer to the celestial neighbors of Wormia those ships that we cannot wield effectively without a significant burden on budget. Henceforth, we are again proud to share with Wormia's celestial neighbors some of the finest starships to ever sail the depths of space.

STARSHIPS
Raptor-Class Frigate
http://img58.photobucket.com/albums/v176/A_Pickle/Wormia/Corvette_Ship.jpg
The Raptor-class frigate remains the backbone of the Domestic Star Patrol and the Stellar Defense Corps. These craft are most effectively wielded in battlegroups often comprised of the same ships. These ships have the norm of firepower for their counterparts in other national fleets.
These craft are reliant mainly on their superb speed and maneuverability, unsurpassed in any capital ship in its class. Perhaps its most adequate counterparts are the Federation Defiant-class and the Marauder Corvette.
Another advantage indigenous to the Raptor class is virtual invisibility. It can be detected only by the naked eye or a very acute gravitational scanner. Solo missions into neighboring territory can prove very useful in intelligence. Detection of them is difficult, but even when detected, the ships' blazing speed can evacuate them of enemy territory before a positive I.D. can be made.

Corsica-Class Destroyer
http://img58.photobucket.com/albums/v176/A_Pickle/Wormia/Destroyer.jpg
The Corsica-class destroyer is another of Wormia's smaller ship designs. Designed primarily to give Wormia an option for smaller scale conflicts that didn't call for the firepower of a battleship, the Corsica came about.
It's versatility and usefulness have become intergalactic standards of the shipmaking community. It has shown prowess on the front lines of war, on missions of escort, in giving foreign aid and in unique missions. It's effectiveness on an all around scale make it the symbol of Wormian stellar engineering.
The ship is not heavily armed, though it is armed sufficiently to hold it's ground. It possesses extremely far-seeing sensor arrays, surpassing the sensory distance of even the sensors of most Federation type ships and even the Wormian battleship, making it a useful "eye for the fleet."

Talon-Class Ballistic Missile Cruiser
http://img58.photobucket.com/albums/v176/A_Pickle/Wormia/BallisticMissile.jpg
The Talon-class missile cruiser is the Wormian military's "big stick" around the galaxy. It carries ten of the most destructive weapons ever concieved of humanity -- and is virtually undetectable whilst doing so.
Designed after the need to place WMD's in spots in need of "deterrence," the Talon came to be the most successful design of a deep space heavy weapons platform. It was modeled and designed using maritime "SSBN" class submarines as a reference (note the missile doors on the spine).
The primary onboard weapons are ten Zero Point Energy torpedoes, each capable of doubling the ship's superluminous speed, and each capable of bringing complete, total devastation to an entire star system. The destructive energy released by the torpedoes amounts to be around 105.7 Exatons, providing a certain and quick death for anything and anyone in the immediate vicinity.

Dominance-Class Battleship
http://img58.photobucket.com/albums/v176/A_Pickle/Wormia/Battleship.jpg
The Dominance-class battleship is Wormia's primary offensive craft. It is the first naval vessel, of any sort, to be considered a battleship in over two centuries. These ships have been designed and constructed to replace the now-obsolete Wormian carriers whose main offensive force (snub fighters) have been reduced to cannon fodder with computer controlled weapons/guidance systems.
The battleship's primary objective is for inter starship engagements, not planetary bombardment. The ship relies primarily on beam weapons which tend to be unduly burdened by atmospheres, but are succintly boosted in the void of space.
Due to the battleships reliance on beams, they possess special targeting computers onboard, allowing them to utilize the warped medium of spacetime to arc beams around large masses such as stars and black holes, and yet manage to hit an unsuspecting foe. While the calculations of any spacetime distortions can, at times, take days, the ability to arc supposedly straight shooting beams is invaluable.
Due to its nature as a warship, diplomacy is often solved using broadside MDC's (Microwave Disruptor Cannons), and thus, it has an effectual lack of diplomatic/administrative shuttles.

Zeus-Class Missile Cruiser
http://img58.photobucket.com/albums/v176/A_Pickle/Wormia/MissileDestroyer.jpg
The Talon-class missile destroyer is the planetary assault version of a battleship. These craft utilize massive missile strikes as their primary, devastating attack method. This being the case, they are cannon fodder for the battleships, cruisers and the such.
The primary objective of the Missile destroyer is to effectively lay waste to the surface of a planet, which, they can do quite effectively. Missile destroyers of the type used by the Wormian spacefleet carry up and over 100,000 missiles of hundreds of types. The two, massive, forward-facing hulls can spew missiles out of a total of 6 launch bays at a rate of 300 every minute. This type of attack method is known as the "Flood-Fire."
On the bridge, over 900 targeting, tracking and guidance computers monitor in, out and around 8,000 missiles at once. Guiding 8,000 missiles is no small task, either. Each of these missiles has a range of approximately 4,000,000 miles, however, missiles are generally fired at around 10,000 miles. Even at this range, they can strike targets no bigger than shoes.
While missile destroyers carry over 10,000 weapons of mass destruction aboard, they are not allowed to utilize them without prior authorization by the Wormian Government (a series of authorization codes/computer relay stations assure the system's flawlessness). Unless in a state of Critical Emergency, Wormian missile destroyers engage planets and/or other targets with napalm and sonic airburst warheads. This is intimidation factor more than one aimed at quick destruction, and it cuts down on unnecessary civilian casualties.

Gargantua-Class Titan Dreadnaught
http://img58.photobucket.com/albums/v176/A_Pickle/Wormia/SuperDreadnaught2.jpg
Years researching zero gravity superarchitecture... hypersufficient power generation... superluminous engineering have come together to achieve this truly wondroud pinnacle of starship evolution. The aptly named Gargantua-class tames the sky with not only it's sheer size and appalling weaponry, but the absolute engineering cohered into constructing the vessel.
The ship is designed primarily for long duration missions into deep space or... heavy stellar battlezone support. Aside from being a one ship armada, the vessel's power supply allows it to recharge allied vessels with damaged or destroyed fusion cores. By mashing matter with antimatter at a controlled rate, the ship is capable of powering over 10 battleships and still make headway to the far reaches of known space and return home.
The ship is not just capable of generating the power of a nominally sized city, it is also capable of rivalling the industrial manufacturing output of the city in question. It possesses four 3d "HyperFactories," essentially massive printers that print a select component in 3d. Each is capable of manufacturing ANYTHING within the dimensions 100 x 100 x 100 feet, and these items can then be sewn into larger components in the zero gravity robotic construction bay.
The ships' astounding crew of 15,000 is fed and well kept through an intricate lattice of pipes that is the cycling water system, ensuring that every molecule of water goes to good use. They are fed by four hydroponics bays the size of small runways.
The ship is intentional as not only a true weapon, but an imposing one. Psychological warfare is brought new meaning with the Gargantua-class.

Jupiter-Class Battlestar
http://img58.photobucket.com/albums/v176/A_Pickle/Wormia/Invader.jpg
The newest addition to the Wormian fleet. A cold, hefty response to the widespread use of Colonial Columbia-class Battlestars.
Wormian tactitians, strategists, scientists and engineers pooled their knowledge into the Jupiter-class ship, to create one that would be self sufficient for it's crew of over 80,000. Onboard hydroponics provide sufficient food to feed a city with a population of 500,000 (making food drops for less fortunate nations a viability). Zero-Point attractors coupled with fusion/fission reactor arrangements provide to the ship round-the clock energy, enough to keep it powered for every major system.
Tactically, the Jupiter-class is almost a plant. A poignant ship sprouting guns in every which direction... the marvel of engineering a pacifist would likely vomit at. The ship sports nearly 1,500 Amplified Photon Cannons, insuring it against an attack from snub fighters. With that amount of cannon, the ship could disperse a virtual wall of electromagnetic energy.
