The Jaghur Home Fleet is finally completed. The fleet consists of:

19,000 Starfighters, of which there are:
-9,000 Lightning Class (Main Fighter)
-6,000 Fire Class (Secondary Fighter)
-4,000 Vortex Class (Swarm Fighter)

5,000 Heavy Weapon Starfighters, of which there are:
-3,000 Wolf Class (Close Support Fighter)
-1,000 Cougar Class (Independent Heavy Weapon Fighter)
-1,000 Bear Class (Mass Elimination Fighter)

100 Attack cruisers, of which there are:
-50 Hawk Class (Close Support Cruiser)
-25 Falcon Class (Light Attack Cruiser)
-25 Eagle Class (Heavy Attack Cruiser)

25 Supercruisers, of which there are:
-12 Mandator Class (Light Defense Cruiser)
-10 Destroyer Class (Heavy Defense Cruiser)
-3 Obliviator Class (Ultimate Attack Cruiser)

1 Flagship:
-Jaghuria Prime

60 Science Ships, of which there are:
-20 Animalia Class (Animals studied on these ships)
-20 Plantae Class (Plants studied on these ships)
-20 Molecular Class (Samples are studied at a molecular level on these ships)

80 Technology and Engineering Ships, of which there are:
-20 Structure Class (deals with structures and materials of ships, etc.)
-20 Plasma Class (deals with weapons of ships, etc., if any)
-20 Propulsion Class (deals with propulsion systems)
-20 Crew Class (deals with personnel and troop living quarters, life-support systems, and internal gravity compensators

Technology Developed:
-F/Fi Reactor (Fusion/Fission Reactor): For normal space travel, a continuous and monitored flow of hydrogen atoms flow from a hydrogen tank into the main body of the engine. A fusion reaction occurs, propelling the vessel. For intergalactic travel, a large amount of hydrogen atoms are released into the main body of the engine, where tiny mechanical parts split the atoms, creating an enormous amount of energy and propelling the vessel to another part of the galaxy. To supply the hydrogen atoms, each vessel has a hydrogen tank (usually one, but their are some vessels with two or three) proportional to the vessel.
-Anti-Gravity Engine: This engine creates an aura of anti-gravity for travel in atmospheres.
-Plasma Gun: A basic burst weapon for a starfighter, this weapon fires a controlled, galvanized beam of light.
-Plasma Supra-Gun: This is a more powerful version of the plasma gun, and is found more often on heavy weapon starfighters. It is also found on both attack cruisers and supercruisers as point-defense weapons
-Plasma Cannon: This weapon is a much larger version of the plasma gun, and has more capacity. The beams are still galvanized, but not controlled. This makes for a larger beam that does more damage. These are found mostly on the attack cruisers, and there are a few on the supercruisers.
-Plasma Supra-Cannon: This is the largest weapon found on any vessel in the fleet. It is more powerful than the plasma cannon. These are found on the supercruisers only.
-SRGSM (Short-Range Guided Space Missile): This missile has a small fusion reactor (as it does not need to travel intergalactically), and is used by fighters and heavy weapon fighters (usually 2 or 3 per vessel) to destroy enemy vessels through locking on to a target and then releasing the missile, which in turn follows the target until it is destroyed or the missile is destroyed.
-IGDM (InterGalactic Destruction Missile): This missile is much larger and much more destructive than an SRGSM, and works in a very different way. Preset coordinates are programmed into the "brain" of the missile, so that when launched, the missile guides itself to its target. As it is an intergalactic missile, this missile contains an F/Fi reactor (see above), so it can travel intergalactically.
-LPH Shield (Laser/Plasma/Hangar Shield): This invisible shield protects a vessel from most forms of burst and temporal weapons and also keeps gravity within hangar bays.
-Bombardment Shield: This invisible sheild protects a vessel from most missiles or explosive devices.
-Plasma Pistol: A handheld pistol that works the same way as the plasma gun.
-Plasma Rifle: A handheld rifle that works the same way as the plasma gun.
-Plasma Sniper Rifle: A handheld sniper rifle that works the same way as the plasma gun.
-Advanced Rocket Launcher: Rocket Launcher with a magzine of rockets and the ability to reload itself.

OOC: A few comments.

One, how exactly do you galvanize LIGHT?! According to Answers.com, galvanization is:
1. To stimulate or shock with an electric current.
2. To arouse to awareness or action; spur: “Issues that once galvanized the electorate fade into irrelevance” (Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.).
3. To coat (iron or steel) with rust-resistant zinc.

None of these are really applicable to light. You can't electrocute photons (no electrons present), light has no real emotions (as far as I know) and light is awfully hard to coat with zinc...

Two, plasma cannons usually fire, well, PLASMA. You know, really hot shiny stuff? Fourth state of matter? Right past gas? What you are describing seems to be a cross between a laser and a railgun...

If all you are going to do is go off about the laws of physics or matter or whatnot, than please leave. This is not RL and I can have anything I want provided its not godmodding.

I partially took the galvanized from the SW: ROTS book. Basically, it allows the beam to be seen and gives it more power.

Well, calling it a plasma weapon is kinda misleading, especially when its just a visible laser. For example, some nation's shields are pretty much immune to plasma, and telling them that your plasma cannons are actually lasers will most likely be met with quite a bit of skepticism.

I also got plasma from the ROTS book. I'm not calling it a plasma weapon, it's just a name for it. And don't worry, I'll explain it to people

It's a good thing you clarified the plasma thing, my shields generally stop non-explosive matter in it's tracks. What you're packing, a beam of hypercondensed light packed into a temporary shield barrier, would likely either detonate on impact with the shield and deal minor damage or just cut right through, depending on if the encasing is matter-based.

And if I was using my Anti-PD torpedoes, any point defense "plasma" weapons would destroy themselves rather violently after shooting the integrated Holtzmann field.

Trust me, they are not plasma weapons. It's just a denotation
