New Kirisubo is a dominion of the Kirisuban Empire based on earth. its first colony so far it's self governing and led by the Tairo.

the current post holder is Ms Aiko Fujiwaki and was elected by the colonys parliment for a 5 year term.

Their are two fleets. The deep space fleet and the defence fleet.

the deep space fleet

The most recent ships are off the Kagemon class. So far 5 have been launched with another 7 planned or under construction.

they are as follows:

NX-01 : Kagemon - Captain Ari Fujimoto in command
NX-02 : Chiang Lung - Captain Keiko Abe commanding
NX-03 : Hankoteki Na - Captain Fujiko Abe commanding
NX-04 : Honshu - Captain Aiko Satsumo commanding
NX-05 : Hokkaido - Captain Mariko Toda in command

a Kagemon class variant, the Hokinsha class (carrier) will be outfitted as an aircraft carrier type vessel. they will be larger to accomodate more fighters and multipurpose shuttlecraft. An FTL drive shuttle is being developed based on a Neoman model with several of these small ships in Kirisuban service already. they have been renamed 'Sakuras' (cherry blossoms) after a type of jet fighter used in the 20th century by the Earth based Kirisuban Empire.

These small ships can explore on their own and can carry weapon systems if needed. One is on the Kagemon and is used for long range exporation and scientific work.

it is also hoped to develop a single seat starfighter for scouting and space combat purposes.



The defence fleet

This is composed off heavilly armed and shielded older warp drive vessels as well as impulse only vessels.

altogether with satelites, listening posts and scanner stations built on asteroids the defence force consists of 2000 people and 30 ships.

there is also a standing army of 1000 highly trained people complete with a fighter squadrons and a large tank platoon.

bumped for future add ons

((Do you have basic designs for your ships? some descriptions of weaponry? It need not be insanely detailed.))

Kirisuban weapons are primarily based on plasma but yields can vary.

Torpedo yields can be set as well as the power of the main beam weapons the exploration fleet carries. side arms can also be set to 'stun' or 'kill'

The Kagemon class chips have warp drive up to factor 9. they also have two plasma beam weapons, 4 torpedo tubes in the front and 4 in the rear.

they have have shields and hull plating but their best asset is their agility under impulse power and thrusters.

That normally gets them out of trouble without needing to fire a shot.

Tactically the Kirisubans if fired upon will usually use their agility and shields and take the fight to the enemy if they think they have a chance. Otherwise they escape using warp drive and come back later.

Once they join battle its to the death. They still follow the code of Bushido and they would rather self destruct their vessels rather than surrender them. Any Kirisuban prisoner knows to commit seppuku or live out their lives as dishonoured people unable to return home.

shapewise Kirisuban ships look like early romulan warbirds (ie Captain Kirks time) only gun metal coloured. their shuttle craft look like smaller versions of their motherships but are unarmed.
