OOC ship topic, basicaly a refrence list of all the ship classess in my space navy.
Note that there are a number of ships that dont belong to any class, these will be described as needed.
All of these are capable of atmospheric and space flight. Most are also capable of ocean travel.

Keep in mind, this is a REALLY rough guide, basicaly designed to give an idea of what your fighting, almost all Harmonian ships are custom built and the armament of each one may vary slightly.

These are all the ship classess currently in use with the Harmonian Fleet.

Daggership:
The only Harmonian 'fighter', basicaly its a leather contraption with a small shield thats really only capable of deflecting extratmosphere radiation and micrometeors. Anything really big is going to crush it quite easily.
Its armed with two small machine guns, or a single light thaum cannon.

Fenris class Longboat:
Equivalent to a corvette. This ship is also capable of performing boarding actions. It carries up to twenty fully armed men, and quite a few more goblins.
Its armed with whatever the crew carries, or if its not being used as a transport, it can carry a single heavy thaum cannon or two light cannons.

Razor class Snow:
The smallest capital ship. It mounts two thaum cannons as well as ten standard 255mm AT guns and ten ball-turret dual 20mm cannons It has docking points for two Daggerships.
This generaly acts as light support or long range scouting. Its quite fast for a capital ship. Once up to speed it can outpace many fighters, but at such speed its not very manueverable.

Djinni class Schooner:
The sort of middling ship for the small capital ships class. Its well balanced to take on a variety of tasks. Mounts four thaum cannons, ten 255mm guns, and sixteen quad 20mm cannons. Can carry four daggerships.
As noted, this is the middle of the road ship. Its job is standard 'sit around and blow each other up' combat. Its not especially fast, well armoured, or armed, but it isnt really bad in any area either.

Asmodai class Sloop:
Slightly larger than a Razor, and a good deal slower. It is a good deal more heavily armoured and armed though.
Ten heavy thaum cannons, fourteen 255mm guns, four 350mm guns, sixteen 20mm dual turrets, and five 40mm quad turrets.
This ship is basicaly there to slug it out with other lighter classess of ships. It can take on larger ships in groups where its greater mobility can be used as an advantage.

Midsized ships:

Apophis class Brigantine:
Quite possibly this is THE fastest capital ship. Its only slightly slower than the Razor, but not much better armed. Its purpose is the same as an interceptor, get there fast and kill stuff.
Its armed with two midsized thaum cannons and a sponson mounted third cannon in the forcastle. It has twenty 255mm cannons, two 350mm and a complement of sixteen dual 20mm cannons and five 40mm quad cannons.

Samael class Frigate:
The middle of the middle class. Its fast, but not really fast. Well armoured, but not bulky, and all that.
Ten Thaum Cannons, fifty 255mm cannons, ten 400mm cannnons. For the lighter stuff it carries twenty 20mm dual cannons and fifteen 40mm triguns.
This ship is capable of any number of missions, generaly its for group combat.

Leviathan class Galleon:
This is qutie large for a 'middle class' ship. Its heavily armed and armoured, but slow.
Fifteen heavy thaum cannons, 65 255mm cannons, twenty 350mm cannons. LIgher guns include: twentyfive 20mm cannons, twenty 40mm triguns, and five 55mm minirocket launchers.
It can be converted into a large troop transport with the removal of its guns.

The REALLY BIG ships:
(Note, these are not, as are the other ships, converted sailing vessels. They are purpose built spaceships that if they tried to float would most likely explode or something. They are all custom built, and thus stats would be rather pointless. Currently I have twenty of them in service, the largest of which is the Predator, currently under construction over Rath. Its slightly over a mile long, and not built of wood as is normal with these ships. It has a large number of guns, but its slow, as with most of these ships.)
