This thread will serve as public notice of the Socialist Republic of Xanthal's Labule and Nahbule plans for military improvement and the implementation of those plans following the recent national executive order to both military branches to develop planetary-scale energy shield systems, wider access to deep-space locations, supplementary new combat starship designs, and the capabilities of Xanthalian ground forces.
==Sönĕsböga Yäzö==
This unmanned station is placed in orbit of a planet with other stations of the same type to project a protective energy shield over the planet’s upper atmosphere. Each station also projects an energy shield around itself. Though the station shields are independently powered, the strength of the planetary shield the stations support is equal to the total shield strength of all the orbiting stations (a minimum of six are needed) divided by two.

===Karĭn===
With little advanced function and only token combat ability, the main purpose of Karĭn type ships is to provide an inexpensive platform for establishing a Xanthalian presence in areas of deep space. Equipped with a rudimentary Xanthalian-built hyperspace jump drive and planespace navigation capability, Karĭne are cheap and easily constructed, making them ideal scouts and a vital response unit when a situation arises out of range of a sord. The Karĭn also carries two Käleka shuttles with hyperdrive systems instead of their standard space-time bubble generators.

===Rĕpolĭn===
The Rĕpolĭn class is the result of Xanthalian efforts to create a ship capable of autonomous operation in areas of deep space inaccessible by sord. It is large and costly, but very powerful by Xanthalian standards. While the Rĕpolĭn lacks the versatility of the Ălfäşrä, it is constructed exclusively with Xanthalian technology and is significantly less expensive to build and maintain, making it more practical for general use. As well as the planespace navigation capability common to Xanthalian ships, the Rĕpolĭn utilizes a rudimentary Xanthalian-built hyperspace jump drive. Its Käleka shuttles have the same drive in place of space-time bubble generators.
