Length: 10m
Crew: 2 (1 pilot 1 gunner)
Weapons Systems
1 Turtle Class Gun System
3 Forward Torpedo lauchers
2 Rear-Facing Web Class Launchers
This is a small, fast, heavily armed atack boat, designed to get up close and personal with heavier ships before they have a chance to blow it out of the water. The strange winglike projections beneath the boat are in fact a hydrofoil, which is what allows the boat to travel so fast.
The Web Class launchers are what make the Shark class so deadly. Each launcher comprises of a block of nine smaller launchers, and both of the major ones are capable of swivelling and independantly tracking and attacking targets. The Web launchers fire small, magnetic mines. They are primarily used when the vessel is within a twenty metre radius due to their very short range. The mines latch themselves onto the ships hull and have a two second fuse, just enough time for the Shark to retreat before the mine blows a hole in the side of the enemy ship. On a good day, a barrage of these could lift the hull of a ship off it's keel.

The Domination class is the sucessor to the world renowned Supremacy stealth submarines. The new submarine combines improved versions of the stealth technology used in it's predecessor, along with upgraded firepower and some new technology to combat the one weakness of the Supremacy, being it's visibility in the IR band. With the white noise/sonar generators, the adaptive optics system covering the outer hull and the outer cooling system, this new version is slightly larger than it's predecessor, but more advanced machinery has allowed more space as crew number are reduced reducing the volume of crew quarters. The caterpillar drive used by both the Dominance and the Supremacy also ensures a lack of engine noise. The new Dominance class has improved on the Supremacy in every way, making it one of the most silent and deadly weapons available to the Ineffable navy.

30 Trident-3 Nuclear Missiles
The Slag class ballistic missile submarine uses a less advanced form of the stealth technology aboard the Domination class, more akin to that aboard the Supremacy class. However, combined with the deadly firepower of the Trident-3 missiles these submarines are in fact more dangerous. Each missile is capable of delivering a blast-yield of up to seventy megatonnes in a fashion sufficient to reduce a small to medium-sized nation to radioactive slag. The mere deployment of a Slag class submarine to the battlefield is considered a war-crime in some nations.

Major Spacecraft
Heavy Cruiser (XMC)
Glorious Heritage Class
Platform Overview:
The Glorius Heritage class Heavy Cruiser is the bright star of the Ineffable Space-Fleet. As the most visible symbol of the reach and power of the Ineffable Empire, command of these vessels is reserved for the best and the brightest. They are ideally suited for interplanetary combat, although they can play a significant role in planetary strike operations. During peacetime, XMCs are most often tasked with independent intergalactic exploration, charting and documenting the star systems of the Local Cluster. They are also the preferred platform for first contact missions, given their formidable combat capabilities and their ability to operate without a battlegroup.

Deep Stand-Off Attack Ship (DSA) I
Righteous Fist of Heaven Class
Platform Overview:
The Righteous Fist of Heaven class Deep Stand-off Attack Ship is the workhorse of the Ineffable combat fleet. Optimized for extreme-range destruction of hostile starships and planetary pacification missions, the DSA is long on offensive capabilities and short on defensive systems. Sensor systems on the DSA are dedicated almost entirely to battle management support, though they can be used in a pinch as additional extended range surveillance platforms. The DSA is also equipped with Low Observability technology, making them more difficult for hostile forces to target and destroy. DSAs rarely operate independently and rely on battlegroup assets for their self-defense and logistics support. When detached from their primary HCBG, DSAs run in "packs" of two.

Deep Stand-Off Attack Ship (DSA) II
Wrath of Achilles Class
Platform Overview:
Designed as a next generation successor to the versatile and venerable Righteous Fist of Heaven platform, the Wrath of Achilles is the newest and most advanced ship class in the Ineffable fleet. Incorporating many hard-learned lessons from the Martian activities and the latest in Ineffable technology, the Wrath of Achilles is the most lethal starship-killer ever built. Designed to operate with a minimum of crew and without fleet support behind enemy lines for extended periods of time, the new DSA forgoes such standard shipboard features as small craft, a Lancer contingent, and research capabilities in favor of missiles, missiles, and more missiles. The Wrath of Achilles is the most heavily armed starship launched by the Ineffable Empire, and her arsenal includes the latest in extreme-range kill vehicles as well as the usual suite of offensive and defensive missiles, AP guns, and PDLs. Additionally, the new DSA's distinctive, knife-like profile gives her a tiny sensor cross-section, making her nearly impossible for foes to detect. And any enemy who does manage to engage her will find that reactive shielding and cold plasma armor make the Wrath of Achilles exceptionally resilient and damage-resistant, while her lack of entry points (access to the ship is through a single, heavily fortified airlock) leaves the ship nearly invulnerable to boarding raids.

Long Range Surveillance Ship (LRS)
Eternal Vigilance Class
Platform Overview:
The Eternal Vigilance class Long Range Surveillance ship provides the eyes and ears for an HCBG and PRG. Equipped with multiple arrays of high-powered active and passive sensor suites, the LRS is ideal for providing early-warning of impending attack, enhancing battlegroup track correlation and improving the efficiency of offensive and defensive operations. Although lightly armed, the LRS is equipped with Low Observability technology, which reduces its vulnerability to attack. In addition, the smaller mass of the LRS combined with an impressive AP power plant allows for rapid acceleration and maneuver away from high threat situations. The LRS can also be employed as an effective intergalactic exploration platform, since its ability to gather and process data has as much utility for scientific pursuits as combat operations.

Group Defense Frigate (GDF)
Pride of Kaldera Class
Platform Overview:
The Pride of Kaldera class Group Defense Frigate is the first line of defense for the HCBG and the PRG. Designed to track, target and destroy incoming enemy missiles and fighters, the battlegroup relies on the GDF commanders to ensure that the battlespace is clear for maneuver and attack operations. Each vessel is armed with limited offensive capabilities, but these capabilities are rarely used except in cases where the battlegroup has suffered significant casualties or the threat of hostile interdiction is low. With their superior deep sensing and target correlation abilities, GDFs can also serve as augmentation for the HCBG's extended range surveillance platforms. Although rarely deployed independently of a HCBG, large ad hoc networks of detached GDFs can be used as planetary defense assets in the unlikely event of invasion by hostile forces or massive missile attack.

Atmospheric Attack Carrier (AAC)
Siege Perilous Class
Platform Overview:
The Siege Perilous class Atmospheric Attack Carrier serves as the Group Operational Commander for a PRG during battlegroup operations. The AAC primary combat role is to destroy hostile tactical aircraft and defensive stations on the ground. It ensures that the skies are clear for dropships and other endo/exo-atmospheric craft during beach-head establishment, provides close air support (CAS) for Lancers on the ground, and destroys hostile ground forces in the interdiction zone. In addition, the AAC provides air traffic control for the PRG and directs all Ineffable Military movement onto the objective. Although it is nearly as large as an XMC, the space on board an AAC is devoted almost entirely to hangar space and crew quarters. As a result, the AAC has limited value as a non-combat support ship aside from directing ship-to-surface relief operations from other platforms.

Victory's Crucible Class
Platform Overview:
The Victory's Crucible class Drop Ship Carrier is the primary strategic lift platform for the Lancer Corps. Each DSC serves as "home away from home" for a light regiment of troops plus their transport ships and equipment. With its large number of highly motivated soldiers, the DSC is uniquely qualified to provide manpower support for the distribution of goods and services. In addition, each asset can be quickly converted to provide strategic lift services for any HCBG or PRG element.

High Endurance Research Cruiser (HRC)
To Seek, To Find Class
Platform Overview:
The To Seek, To Find class High Endurance Research Cruiser is the heart of the Ineffable Empire's intergalactic exploration efforts. Capable of long-term, independent operations far from established Slipstream portals in uncharted regions of space, the HRCs are equipped for the study of any new scientific phenomenon or research opportunity. Although well armed in the interest of their own self-defense, these vessels are crewed primarily by civilian scientists and engineers. Traditionally, the CO of an HRC is also the Chief Scientist and is supported by an Argosy XO who oversees the crew and combat operations. An HRC can be recalled for combat duty, but only in the direst emergencies.

------------------------------------------------
Small Spacecraft
Low Observable Scout (LOS) *
Major Tom Class
The Major Tom class Low Observable Scout is a small, lightly manned surveillance and electronic attack platform designed to mount C2W and INT operations inside a hostile sphere of control. Scouts often fly along with fighter craft on strike missions in order to provide additional "eyes and ears" for the squadron, as well as a high-powered jamming capability. These assets are equipped with a specially enhanced ES/A-9R package, a hyper-spectral scanner, a single PDL turret and a crew of three. In addition, the LOS is largely self-sufficient, capable of independent operations for weeks at a time without resupply or maintenance.
Price: 20 million
Supply and Maintenance Ship (SAM) *
Fingers of Dawn Class
The Fingers of Dawn class Supply and Maintenance Ship is the primary logistics and mobility support ship for the HCBG and the PRG. These assets never operate outside of a battlegroup, and rarely transit between theaters without an armed escort. Possessed of little in the way of self-defense systems beyond a few PDL turrets, the SAM is nonetheless one of the most important strategic components of the Argosy.
Price: 50 million
Interplanetary Mine Hunter (IMH) *
Seven Pillars Class
The Seven Pillars class Mine Hunter is designed to seek out and destroy pre-positioned threats to both HCBG and PRG assets. Deployed as needed based on the operational scenario, IMHs run in packs of four. The packs work as if they are a single asset, performing detailed searches of any perceived threat area with highly sensitive hyper-spectral imaging and synthetic aperture sensors. They are equipped with modified versions of the DM-5 defensive kinetic kill missile which can safely detonate mines from a distance.
Price: 35 million
Low Observable Special Warfare Ship (LSW) *
Asceticism of Action Class
The Asceticism of Action class Special Warfare Ship is a small, fast troop insertion and reconnaissance vessel designed to infiltrate behind the forward edge of the battle area (FEBA) or deep inside hostile territory. Information on the sensor and weapons load-outs for these assets are currently unavailable for public release.
Price: 80 million
Light Patrol Craft (LPC)
Non-Slipstream capable planetary defense craft that supplement and augment Home Guard defensive capabilities. LPCs are usually equipped with a single missile tube, several DM-5 defensive kinetic kill missiles and a crew of 10 or fewer. Several sub-classes of LPC are in use throughout the Ineffable Empire, depending on the particulars of the operational environment. LPCs are very fast, highly maneuverable and operate most often in squadrons of eight.
Price: 15 million
Heavy Patrol Craft (HPC)
Similar to the light craft, but equipped with 2 missile tubes, an AP cannon and an rapid-fire Rail-Gun turret. HPCs carry a crew complement between 20 and 30 people and usually serve as the command ship for a squadron of LPCs. Like the LPC, several sub-classes of the HPC are in use throughout the Ineffable Empire.
Price: 30 million
Shrike strike fighters (JL)
The Shrike is a fearsome high-speed attack craft used to support medium to long range anti-starship strike operations. Although not as maneuverable as a tactical fighter, the true advantage of the Shrike is its ability to put steel on target while avoiding retribution from hostile assets. It also provides the Group Operational Commander with the flexibility to hit the enemy from a number of angles at a tempo of his/her own choosing. The Shrike is equipped with 2 rapid-fire railguns, an AP cannon and 4 missile tubes which can fire Star Arrow smart missiles. Like the Centaur, it can be controlled either from the cockpit or remotely, though the Shrike requires both a pilot and a weapons officer in either mode
Price: 80 million
Systems Courier Ship (SCU) *
Alactritous Missive Class
The Alactritous Missive class Courier Ship is the foundation upon which timely inter-system military communications are built and maintained. The couriers are fast, low observable assets equipped with a single PDL turret and a crew of two. Unarmed civilian variants service the Commonwealth as a whole. These vessels can be temporarily commissioned into service during an emergency by a Group Operational Commander or the commander of an Argosy asset conducting independent operations.
Price: 10 million
Centaur tactical fighters (CTF)
The Centaur is the premiere space superiority fighter in the Local Cluster. Designed to conduct high speed, fire-and-forget combat maneuvers, it is unmatched in its ability to engage multiple targets at short and medium distances. The primary mission of the Centaur is to provide combat patrol support for Heavy Cruisers. It also flies tactical escort for strike fighters and conducts Suppression of Enemy Defense (SED) operations during interplanetary combat. These fighters are equipped with dual rapid-fire CTFcan be piloted either from the cockpit or remotely from a Flight Operations Center.
Price: 75 million
Phoenix atmospheric attack craft (PAAC)
The Phoenix is a combined fighter/attack craft designed to operate in Earth-normal atmospheres and high-orbit. Extremely maneuverable, the Phoenix is the primary Close Air Support and long-range interdiction asset for the Lancer Corps during planetary combat operations. It is also used to clear hostile skies of tactical fighters, to clear the way for incoming Lancer drop ships and establish air dominance in advance of the main planetfall assault element. The Phoenix is equipped with dual Point Defence Laser cannons and three missile tubes capable of firing up to 6 SAPM-6III Strike Arrow missiles.
Price: 200 million
Brilliant Carapace class ship
This Brilliant Carapace class ship is a tough, versatile defensive patrol craft employed mainly by Home Guard units. Headwaters of Invention Shipyards in the asteroid belt have built over 5,000 of these rugged little vessels, each with a crew of one.
Price: 40 million
Garuda class patrol craft
The Garuda class patrol craft is one of the Ineffable Empire's most popular small military vessels. Carrying a crew complement of three and combining speed and firepower in a low observability spaceframe, the Garuda is especially popular among Home Guard units and law enforcement agencies.
Price: 45 million
ES-115 Oracle heavy sensor/attack drones
Oracle is a semi-sentient, autonomous spacecraft that can carry up to four different modular sensor packages, all of which are based on larger shipboard counterparts. It is used to provide medium-to-long range target sensing for offensive and defensive operations, and can lead "packs" of smart missiles on search and destroy missions. In attack mode, the main body of the drone drops its sensor packages for later retrieval and accelerates at relativistic speeds toward a target. The resultant collision can produce an explosion that ranges between a few kilotons and a gigaton of destructive power.
Price: 70 million
ES-14 Janus light sensor/attack drones
Janus is similar to the Oracle drone in its mission specifications, but it is half the size and can carry only two of the modular sensor packages. The advantage of Janus is its relative speed and maneuverability, as well as the Low Observability technology it employs to disguise its position during combat operations. Because of its greater acceleration and speed, the relative mass that Janus can bring to bear in an attack can be far greater than the destructive power of Oracle. Janus is also more portable than its larger counterpart and easier to maintain, though it lacks a command and control capability for hunter-killer packs.
Price: 65 million
AES-111A Odin atmospheric sensor/C2 drones
The Odin drone re-packages the Oracle system architecture in a physical structure capable of atmospheric flight. It is used during all phases of planetfall warfare, including surveillance, reconnaissance and C2 applications. The Odin can accept smart missile control hand-off from the originating platform or another drone, and is also capable of leading hunter-killer packs on search and destroy missions. Unlike its spaceborne counterpart, Odin is not an effective choice for attack operations because of its low speed. However, the Lancer Corps records several instances where hostile troops surrendered to an Odin * even when no smart missiles or other attack assets were forthcoming. It is a testament to the effectiveness of the system and the Corps that their most reliable eye in the sky can produce victory without bloodshed.

AM9D Ung Tae drop ship
A combination armored personnel carrier, hover-tank and skiff, the Ung Tae is the foundation upon which the Lancer Corps has built its reputation. These drop ships are the primary delivery vehicles for Ineffable troops on the ground, capable of all-weather operations in up to 20 Gs. Each ship carries a platoon of Lancers and their basic combat gear, plus provisions for short-term accommodations as shelter. Though slow, Ung Tae can take a tremendous pounding due to multiple layers of ablative and reactive armor. In addition, each ship is equipped with a single direct fire AP gun turret and a deployable 150mm mass-driver cannon for indirect fire support at 1200 rounds per minute. Operating in concert, an entire division of AM9D¹s can coordinate mass-driver effects for simultaneous arrival on target with pinpoint accuracy.

This is a small, fast, heavily armed atack boat, designed to get up close and personal with heavier ships before they have a chance to blow it out of the water. The strange winglike projections beneath the boat are in fact a hydrofoil, which is what allows the boat to travel so fast.
The Web Class launchers are what make the Shark class so deadly. Each launcher comprises of a block of nine smaller launchers, and both of the major ones are capable of swivelling and independantly tracking and attacking targets. The Web launchers fire small, magnetic mines. They are primarily used when the vessel is within a twenty metre radius due to their very short range. The mines latch themselves onto the ships hull and have a two second fuse, just enough time for the Shark to retreat before the mine blows a hole in the side of the enemy ship. On a good day, a barrage of these could lift the hull of a ship off it's keel.

The Domination class is the sucessor to the world renowned Supremacy stealth submarines. The new submarine combines improved versions of the stealth technology used in it's predecessor, along with upgraded firepower and some new technology to combat the one weakness of the Supremacy, being it's visibility in the IR band. With the white noise/sonar generators, the adaptive optics system covering the outer hull and the outer cooling system, this new version is slightly larger than it's predecessor, but more advanced machinery has allowed more space as crew number are reduced reducing the volume of crew quarters. The caterpillar drive used by both the Dominance and the Supremacy also ensures a lack of engine noise. The new Dominance class has improved on the Supremacy in every way, making it one of the most silent and deadly weapons available to the Ineffable navy.

The Slag class ballistic missile submarine uses a less advanced form of the stealth technology aboard the Domination class, more akin to that aboard the Supremacy class. However, combined with the deadly firepower of the Trident-3 missiles these submarines are in fact more dangerous. Each missile is capable of delivering a blast-yield of up to seventy megatonnes in a fashion sufficient to reduce a small to medium-sized nation to radioactive slag. The mere deployment of a Slag class submarine to the battlefield is considered a war-crime in some nations.

Major Spacecraft
Heavy Cruiser (XMC)
Glorious Heritage Class
Platform Overview:
The Glorius Heritage class Heavy Cruiser is the bright star of the Ineffable Space-Fleet. As the most visible symbol of the reach and power of the Ineffable Empire, command of these vessels is reserved for the best and the brightest. They are ideally suited for interplanetary combat, although they can play a significant role in planetary strike operations. During peacetime, XMCs are most often tasked with independent intergalactic exploration, charting and documenting the star systems of the Local Cluster. They are also the preferred platform for first contact missions, given their formidable combat capabilities and their ability to operate without a battlegroup.

Deep Stand-Off Attack Ship (DSA) I
Righteous Fist of Heaven Class
Platform Overview:
The Righteous Fist of Heaven class Deep Stand-off Attack Ship is the workhorse of the Ineffable combat fleet. Optimized for extreme-range destruction of hostile starships and planetary pacification missions, the DSA is long on offensive capabilities and short on defensive systems. Sensor systems on the DSA are dedicated almost entirely to battle management support, though they can be used in a pinch as additional extended range surveillance platforms. The DSA is also equipped with Low Observability technology, making them more difficult for hostile forces to target and destroy. DSAs rarely operate independently and rely on battlegroup assets for their self-defense and logistics support. When detached from their primary HCBG, DSAs run in "packs" of two.

Deep Stand-Off Attack Ship (DSA) II
Wrath of Achilles Class
Platform Overview:
Designed as a next generation successor to the versatile and venerable Righteous Fist of Heaven platform, the Wrath of Achilles is the newest and most advanced ship class in the Ineffable fleet. Incorporating many hard-learned lessons from the Martian activities and the latest in Ineffable technology, the Wrath of Achilles is the most lethal starship-killer ever built. Designed to operate with a minimum of crew and without fleet support behind enemy lines for extended periods of time, the new DSA forgoes such standard shipboard features as small craft, a Lancer contingent, and research capabilities in favor of missiles, missiles, and more missiles. The Wrath of Achilles is the most heavily armed starship launched by the Ineffable Empire, and her arsenal includes the latest in extreme-range kill vehicles as well as the usual suite of offensive and defensive missiles, AP guns, and PDLs. Additionally, the new DSA's distinctive, knife-like profile gives her a tiny sensor cross-section, making her nearly impossible for foes to detect. And any enemy who does manage to engage her will find that reactive shielding and cold plasma armor make the Wrath of Achilles exceptionally resilient and damage-resistant, while her lack of entry points (access to the ship is through a single, heavily fortified airlock) leaves the ship nearly invulnerable to boarding raids.

Long Range Surveillance Ship (LRS)
Eternal Vigilance Class
Platform Overview:
The Eternal Vigilance class Long Range Surveillance ship provides the eyes and ears for an HCBG and PRG. Equipped with multiple arrays of high-powered active and passive sensor suites, the LRS is ideal for providing early-warning of impending attack, enhancing battlegroup track correlation and improving the efficiency of offensive and defensive operations. Although lightly armed, the LRS is equipped with Low Observability technology, which reduces its vulnerability to attack. In addition, the smaller mass of the LRS combined with an impressive AP power plant allows for rapid acceleration and maneuver away from high threat situations. The LRS can also be employed as an effective intergalactic exploration platform, since its ability to gather and process data has as much utility for scientific pursuits as combat operations.

Group Defense Frigate (GDF)
Pride of Kaldera Class
Platform Overview:
The Pride of Kaldera class Group Defense Frigate is the first line of defense for the HCBG and the PRG. Designed to track, target and destroy incoming enemy missiles and fighters, the battlegroup relies on the GDF commanders to ensure that the battlespace is clear for maneuver and attack operations. Each vessel is armed with limited offensive capabilities, but these capabilities are rarely used except in cases where the battlegroup has suffered significant casualties or the threat of hostile interdiction is low. With their superior deep sensing and target correlation abilities, GDFs can also serve as augmentation for the HCBG's extended range surveillance platforms. Although rarely deployed independently of a HCBG, large ad hoc networks of detached GDFs can be used as planetary defense assets in the unlikely event of invasion by hostile forces or massive missile attack.

Atmospheric Attack Carrier (AAC)
Siege Perilous Class
Platform Overview:
The Siege Perilous class Atmospheric Attack Carrier serves as the Group Operational Commander for a PRG during battlegroup operations. The AAC primary combat role is to destroy hostile tactical aircraft and defensive stations on the ground. It ensures that the skies are clear for dropships and other endo/exo-atmospheric craft during beach-head establishment, provides close air support (CAS) for Lancers on the ground, and destroys hostile ground forces in the interdiction zone. In addition, the AAC provides air traffic control for the PRG and directs all Ineffable Military movement onto the objective. Although it is nearly as large as an XMC, the space on board an AAC is devoted almost entirely to hangar space and crew quarters. As a result, the AAC has limited value as a non-combat support ship aside from directing ship-to-surface relief operations from other platforms.

To Seek, To Find Class
Platform Overview:
The To Seek, To Find class High Endurance Research Cruiser is the heart of the Ineffable Empire's intergalactic exploration efforts. Capable of long-term, independent operations far from established Slipstream portals in uncharted regions of space, the HRCs are equipped for the study of any new scientific phenomenon or research opportunity. Although well armed in the interest of their own self-defense, these vessels are crewed primarily by civilian scientists and engineers. Traditionally, the CO of an HRC is also the Chief Scientist and is supported by an Argosy XO who oversees the crew and combat operations. An HRC can be recalled for combat duty, but only in the direst emergencies.

Small Spacecraft
Low Observable Scout (LOS) *
Major Tom Class
The Major Tom class Low Observable Scout is a small, lightly manned surveillance and electronic attack platform designed to mount C2W and INT operations inside a hostile sphere of control. Scouts often fly along with fighter craft on strike missions in order to provide additional "eyes and ears" for the squadron, as well as a high-powered jamming capability. These assets are equipped with a specially enhanced ES/A-9R package, a hyper-spectral scanner, a single PDL turret and a crew of three. In addition, the LOS is largely self-sufficient, capable of independent operations for weeks at a time without resupply or maintenance.
Price: 20 million
Supply and Maintenance Ship (SAM) *
Fingers of Dawn Class
The Fingers of Dawn class Supply and Maintenance Ship is the primary logistics and mobility support ship for the HCBG and the PRG. These assets never operate outside of a battlegroup, and rarely transit between theaters without an armed escort. Possessed of little in the way of self-defense systems beyond a few PDL turrets, the SAM is nonetheless one of the most important strategic components of the Argosy.
Price: 50 million
Interplanetary Mine Hunter (IMH) *
Seven Pillars Class
The Seven Pillars class Mine Hunter is designed to seek out and destroy pre-positioned threats to both HCBG and PRG assets. Deployed as needed based on the operational scenario, IMHs run in packs of four. The packs work as if they are a single asset, performing detailed searches of any perceived threat area with highly sensitive hyper-spectral imaging and synthetic aperture sensors. They are equipped with modified versions of the DM-5 defensive kinetic kill missile which can safely detonate mines from a distance.
Price: 35 million
Low Observable Special Warfare Ship (LSW) *
Asceticism of Action Class
The Asceticism of Action class Special Warfare Ship is a small, fast troop insertion and reconnaissance vessel designed to infiltrate behind the forward edge of the battle area (FEBA) or deep inside hostile territory. Information on the sensor and weapons load-outs for these assets are currently unavailable for public release.
Price: 80 million
Light Patrol Craft (LPC)
Non-Slipstream capable planetary defense craft that supplement and augment Home Guard defensive capabilities. LPCs are usually equipped with a single missile tube, several DM-5 defensive kinetic kill missiles and a crew of 10 or fewer. Several sub-classes of LPC are in use throughout the Ineffable Empire, depending on the particulars of the operational environment. LPCs are very fast, highly maneuverable and operate most often in squadrons of eight.
Price: 15 million
Heavy Patrol Craft (HPC)
Similar to the light craft, but equipped with 2 missile tubes, an AP cannon and an rapid-fire Rail-Gun turret. HPCs carry a crew complement between 20 and 30 people and usually serve as the command ship for a squadron of LPCs. Like the LPC, several sub-classes of the HPC are in use throughout the Ineffable Empire.
Price: 30 million
Shrike strike fighters (JL)
The Shrike is a fearsome high-speed attack craft used to support medium to long range anti-starship strike operations. Although not as maneuverable as a tactical fighter, the true advantage of the Shrike is its ability to put steel on target while avoiding retribution from hostile assets. It also provides the Group Operational Commander with the flexibility to hit the enemy from a number of angles at a tempo of his/her own choosing. The Shrike is equipped with 2 rapid-fire railguns, an AP cannon and 4 missile tubes which can fire Star Arrow smart missiles. Like the Centaur, it can be controlled either from the cockpit or remotely, though the Shrike requires both a pilot and a weapons officer in either mode
Price: 80 million
Systems Courier Ship (SCU) *
Alactritous Missive Class
The Alactritous Missive class Courier Ship is the foundation upon which timely inter-system military communications are built and maintained. The couriers are fast, low observable assets equipped with a single PDL turret and a crew of two. Unarmed civilian variants service the Commonwealth as a whole. These vessels can be temporarily commissioned into service during an emergency by a Group Operational Commander or the commander of an Argosy asset conducting independent operations.
Price: 10 million
Centaur tactical fighters (CTF)
The Centaur is the premiere space superiority fighter in the Local Cluster. Designed to conduct high speed, fire-and-forget combat maneuvers, it is unmatched in its ability to engage multiple targets at short and medium distances. The primary mission of the Centaur is to provide combat patrol support for Heavy Cruisers. It also flies tactical escort for strike fighters and conducts Suppression of Enemy Defense (SED) operations during interplanetary combat. These fighters are equipped with dual rapid-fire CTFcan be piloted either from the cockpit or remotely from a Flight Operations Center.
Price: 75 million
Phoenix atmospheric attack craft (PAAC)
The Phoenix is a combined fighter/attack craft designed to operate in Earth-normal atmospheres and high-orbit. Extremely maneuverable, the Phoenix is the primary Close Air Support and long-range interdiction asset for the Lancer Corps during planetary combat operations. It is also used to clear hostile skies of tactical fighters, to clear the way for incoming Lancer drop ships and establish air dominance in advance of the main planetfall assault element. The Phoenix is equipped with dual Point Defence Laser cannons and three missile tubes capable of firing up to 6 SAPM-6III Strike Arrow missiles.
Price: 200 million
Brilliant Carapace class ship
This Brilliant Carapace class ship is a tough, versatile defensive patrol craft employed mainly by Home Guard units. Headwaters of Invention Shipyards in the asteroid belt have built over 5,000 of these rugged little vessels, each with a crew of one.
Price: 40 million
Garuda class patrol craft
The Garuda class patrol craft is one of the Ineffable Empire's most popular small military vessels. Carrying a crew complement of three and combining speed and firepower in a low observability spaceframe, the Garuda is especially popular among Home Guard units and law enforcement agencies.
Price: 45 million
ES-115 Oracle heavy sensor/attack drones
Oracle is a semi-sentient, autonomous spacecraft that can carry up to four different modular sensor packages, all of which are based on larger shipboard counterparts. It is used to provide medium-to-long range target sensing for offensive and defensive operations, and can lead "packs" of smart missiles on search and destroy missions. In attack mode, the main body of the drone drops its sensor packages for later retrieval and accelerates at relativistic speeds toward a target. The resultant collision can produce an explosion that ranges between a few kilotons and a gigaton of destructive power.
Price: 70 million
ES-14 Janus light sensor/attack drones
Janus is similar to the Oracle drone in its mission specifications, but it is half the size and can carry only two of the modular sensor packages. The advantage of Janus is its relative speed and maneuverability, as well as the Low Observability technology it employs to disguise its position during combat operations. Because of its greater acceleration and speed, the relative mass that Janus can bring to bear in an attack can be far greater than the destructive power of Oracle. Janus is also more portable than its larger counterpart and easier to maintain, though it lacks a command and control capability for hunter-killer packs.
Price: 65 million
AES-111A Odin atmospheric sensor/C2 drones
The Odin drone re-packages the Oracle system architecture in a physical structure capable of atmospheric flight. It is used during all phases of planetfall warfare, including surveillance, reconnaissance and C2 applications. The Odin can accept smart missile control hand-off from the originating platform or another drone, and is also capable of leading hunter-killer packs on search and destroy missions. Unlike its spaceborne counterpart, Odin is not an effective choice for attack operations because of its low speed. However, the Lancer Corps records several instances where hostile troops surrendered to an Odin * even when no smart missiles or other attack assets were forthcoming. It is a testament to the effectiveness of the system and the Corps that their most reliable eye in the sky can produce victory without bloodshed.
Price: 40 million
AM9D Ung Tae drop ship
A combination armored personnel carrier, hover-tank and skiff, the Ung Tae is the foundation upon which the Lancer Corps has built its reputation. These drop ships are the primary delivery vehicles for Ineffable troops on the ground, capable of all-weather operations in up to 20 Gs. Each ship carries a platoon of Lancers and their basic combat gear, plus provisions for short-term accommodations as shelter. Though slow, Ung Tae can take a tremendous pounding due to multiple layers of ablative and reactive armor. In addition, each ship is equipped with a single direct fire AP gun turret and a deployable 150mm mass-driver cannon for indirect fire support at 1200 rounds per minute. Operating in concert, an entire division of AM9D¹s can coordinate mass-driver effects for simultaneous arrival on target with pinpoint accuracy.
