Kendall-class shuttle

The Kendall-class shuttle is a bargain-price personal transport, without anything but navigational shields, no weapons, and little more than basic armour. However, for the entrepenuer seeking to find his way among the stars, the shuttle is a bargain indeed.

With a single protruding antimatter plant, and magnetic stabilization prongs out the back of the craft (as to to ensure that the expulsion of unneeded fusion elements can be directed), the Kendall is hardly a craft with high toughness, combat ability, or speed, but wins out on price. Anyone seeking to make their way among the stars can purchase Kendall-class shuttles for the cost of a few years' income, making individual spaceflight a possibility for almost all citizens of most nations.

Ibyss-class personal transport

The Ibyss is the classier shuttle in Raython-Veltar's line of personal transports, much smaller than the Kendall, but with superior speed, comfort, and aesthetics. It is the shuttle for the diplomat, or the richer man, with an onboard food-fabber, two bedrooms, and a gym. With an expensive antimatter plant, decent faster-than-light travel, and comfort, the Ibyss is the shuttle of choice for the man who can afford to make discerning choices.

General Light Utility Ship

The GLUS is an actual workhorse of a ship. While not capable of combat engagements, it can drop troops, land vehicles, and even move larger ships out of the way of danger. Capable of performing elementary repairs on-site, and generating a jump large enough to move it and any ship it happens to be tugging, the GLUS, while small, is intensely useful for any navy.

Trawler-class freighter

The Trawler-class freighter is a traditional spacer's craft, capable of hauling huge amounts of fuel, a few passengers, and, inside its armoured area, valuable electronics and weaponry. While not widely used as a major hauler of regular goods, it is useful in meeting short-term supply, and, given the relative inexpense of the craft, it is a regular traveller on the fringes of Cyprian space.

Designed by Raython-Veltar Arms as part of their new naval line, the company recognises that a strong supply line is crucial to any fleet.

The craft is sluggish in STL situations, but is not designed for combat, and can easily crumple under an attack. Despite this, it still makes a grand transport craft for goods, and sees significant service in both civilian and military branches.

Perforatus Class Omni-Freighter

The Perforatus class Omni-Freighter is designed to be distinct from common freighter models in two ways.

1) It can carry a very large range of shapes and masses of objects across its length without balance of thrust issues.

2) it is able to carry modules that are currently active during transport. It is able, for instance, to transport a working blast furnace from one location to another without having to take it offline. Especially of use to mining operations that frequently move or operate in dangerous space.

Habakkuk-class heavy freighter

The Habakkuk class is a Raython-Veltar Arms freighter design. Meant for heavy tugging, hauling, colonization and many general modular adaptations, this freighter is a large flexible craft, not meant for direct fights but may be useful in everything from cargo lining to civilian evacuation to prisoner barge. The Habakkuk should be an overall central part of any fleet, its economical cost for its advantages outweigh any doubts.

Tenvaal-class Personal Fighter

The Tenvaal is the newest personal fighter on the market. Simple in design, low-powered in weaponry, and with good survivability, it's an excellent choice for either the entrepeneur, military scout, or even explorer. At thirty-two metres in length, it becomes difficult to classify it as a fighter, however, the low mass-to-length ratio ensures this classification.

It is armed only with gravity lances, capable of shattering unshielded troops and smaller craft, but with no real hope of taking on capital ships. As such, it is highly useful in a reconaissance and anti-troop role, and, with its speed, can conduct clandestine missions fairly easily. At a mere $50 million, far less than most fighters on the market, the Tenvaal is one of the best bargains on the fighter market right now. With personal FTL, shielding sufficient to stop most non-capital rounds dead, and speed enough to see it across the galaxy in a matter of weeks, the Tenvaal is the present mainstay of the Raython-Veltar fighter line.

Manufacturer: Raython-Veltar Arms
Role: Personal transport, combat.

MAKV-class combat pod

The Multi-Adaptive Kill Vehicle combat pod is a ship designed to outgun any smaller craft, and is quite capable of attacking larger craft with a degree of success when in large numbers.

Capable of taking down most fighter-craft handily, with two c-frac railguns, a major graser cannon, and forty-six missile tubes, the MAKV, while small, and largely vulnerable to capital ships, is also perfect when swarming medium-sized or small ships. Cheap, unmanned, and with enough firepower to level a few hundred cities, the MAKV is also capable of carrying a semi-sentient artificial guidance system, allowing each craft to operate independently.

While expensive, and far larger than most fightercraft available, it is the premier small combat craft Raython-Veltar Arms has to offer.

Manufacturer: Raython-Veltar Arms
Role: Combat, missile attack, anti-fighter, anti-corvette.
Technology Base: Cypria, UTF.
Length: 50 metres

Lotus-class tactical defense pod

The Lotus-class tactical defense pod is a large ship used for the defense of a system, as well as a useful picket for larger ships. It is admitted with the typically heavy firepower of a weaponry pod, and, able to contain a semisentient tactical AI, can fight most smaller craft with ease. It is immensely expensive, owing to the fact it has enough weaponry to take down five or six fighters simultaneously, but it is also well-shielded, and simple enough to make repairing it an equally simple job.

While expensive, the Lotus certainly gets the job done, and without any loss of life.

Woodan-class minelayer corvette

The Woodan is a light combat craft, designed primarily to drop auto-replicating mines. While armed with four light graser turrets (two under the wings), it is not a combat craft primarily, but is rather designed to either blockade planets, or lay huge numbers of mines in order to slow down an attack. While it can only produce basic mines, a few Woodan-class corvettes are perfectly capable, given the materials, of wholly blockading a planet, or producing mines so that they can be used in system defence. It can also lay FTLi mines, capable of inhibiting a FTL solution to such a blockade.

Manufacturer: Kewen Hivemind
Role: Combat, minelaying.
Technology Base: Kewen.
Length: 125 metres
Width: 107 metres
Power: Antimatter plant x2.

Vampire-class heavy assault corvette

The Vampire-class heavy assault corvette is the most powerful combat corvette available in the Raython-Veltar line. Armed with two c-frac railguns, forty-eight missile tubes, two refittable rapid-fire turrets, and six coherent beam emitters (capable of emitting lasers, grasers, masers, and other types of coherent em beam), it is certainly the most armed ship for its size. Sporting two layers of shielding, a semi-sentient AI, and immense acceleration, as well as a matter-to-energy conversion plant, the Vampire is a military-grade corvette, capable of taking on not only many corvettes, but the occasional smaller frigate, as well as swarms of fighters.

While it does not boast any non-combat capabilities, this merely serves to highlight the deadliness of the craft. Without any redundant non-combat systems, the Vampire is capable of matching almost any craft in its size range.

Manufacturer: Raython-Veltar Arms
Role: Combat, anti-ship.
Technology Base: Cypria, UTF.
Length: 150 metres
Width: 60 metres
Power: Conversion plant.
Max Acceleration: 6,400 G
Maximum FTL: 5000 LY/day.

Howard-class frigate

The cheapest frigate in the Raython-Veltar line, the Howard-class frigate is a sturdy, reliable ship. While not capable of taking on most other frigates in a toe-to-toe contest, the Howard has several key advantages making it a useful ship to take on campaign, or to escort a convoy of freighters. While not particularly pretty, the design can take a lot of damage, and, with decent armour, two layers of shielding, and a total of sixteen effective guns, the Howard is an excellent craft for chasing off raiders, helping repair damaged convoy craft, and even transport useful goods of its own. Of Kewen design, it does not sport the exact same weaponry as most Raython-Velar ships, but has been largely retrofitted so that the weaponry is of the same type.

It does not possess gravitics, but rather relies on its formidable array of coherent beams and c-frac guns to bring down enemy craft. With no proper point-defense guns, it is at a weakness against missile spam.

More importantly, however, is the onboard autofactory. This quasi-autofactory can produce almost any good, allowing the ship to repair itself, as well as any nearby craft. This ability makes it highly useful on campaign, in addition to its array of combat weaponry.

The Howard is not flashy, or particularly eloquent, but it's honest in what it does, and it gives one of the best deals for the price it asks.

Manufacturer: Kewen Hivemind
Role: Personal transport, combat.
Technology Base: Kewen.
Length: 255 metres
Width: 93 metres
Power: Antimatter plant x4.

Kantravadi-class assault frigate

The Kantravadi assault frigate is part of Raython-Veltar Arms' capital ship line, and presently heads the flock as a cheap, solid frigate that can be purchased by governments and mercenary companies alike. While it lacks the charm and ability of larger ships, as well as having a perfectly stolid design, the Kantravadi is both reliable and cheap - two values that will endear it to anyone.

With four main railguns capable of firing rounds at .9c, a single massive reflective graser on the front, capable of firing at almost any angle in front of the ship with pinpoint accuracy, and two torpedo tubes, able to mount torpedoes, missiles, or even parasite craft, the Kantravadi does not lack for anti-capital armament.

A further seventeen point-defense guns allow it to take down missiles and fighters enroaching upon it, and powerful gravitics allow it to crush nearby craft, (although the further the craft away, the less likely this is to happen), giving it an impeccable defense against smaller craft. It can also carry a complement of one hundred and fifty troopers in powered armour, as well as twelve vehicles. It can carry four shuttlecraft (or fighters) capable of transporting troops and vehicles in hangars underneath the craft, and has a basic faster-than-light inhibition field, allowing it to prevent the familiar strategy of "warp-in" attacks. It also has enough computing power to carry an AI, should one be desired to command the ship.

The Kantravadi serves as an decent patrol vessel, reinforcement, or even ship of the line should it be required to take the field against other capital ships. While it does not excel in any of these roles, it is a cheap jack-of-all trades capable of serving in almost any capacity the owner sees fit.

Revante-class dreadnought

The Revante-class dreadnought is at the top of Raython-Veltar's line, with a massive cost, and equally huge effectiveness. Capable of destroying most minor battlegroups singlehandedly, purchase of the Revante requires a year's waiting period (assuming no orders have been cancelled), if only for construction. A major craft capable of besieging entire worlds singlehandedly, the Revante carries up to fifteen thousand power-armoured troops, as well as 224 vehicles. With 155 parasite craft, it can quietly dismantle the defenses of an entire hemisphere of most planets easily.

Capable of crushing missiles and fighter-craft that get too close with gravitics, and with over 1200 point-defense guns, the Revante is unlikely to be harmed by smaller craft. More importantly, it carries twelve massive railguns, all capable of firing projectiles at .99c, and twelve grasers, which can melt the armour off cruisers in a single shot. In addition to this, one thousand, two hundred and forty-four missile pods are included, each capable of holding at least ten missiles, thus giving the Revante a major role as a missile ship, able to total over ten thousand missiles if it chooses to unload all of its armaments in a single battle.

It also has two major "planetary assault" guns, which are massive railguns capable of reducing entire continents to plate glass. These guns are highly effective against enemy capital ships, but require a small cooling period after use. While the most prominent target on the ship, the planetary assault guns give it the capability to take down even the most determined defenders from afar.

The Revante is one of the most expensive ships in the Raython-Velar lineup, and is more than capable of serving as a smaller nation's largest capital ship. Despite the price tag, this ship is more than worth the cost.

Sentinel-class escort

The Sentinel-class light weapons escort is the latest small ship from Neue Berlin Arms Conglomerate. A must-have fashion accessory among the incredibly militaristic, it sports four standard CF99 double-barrelled flechette guns (CF indicating 'C-Frac' and 99 indicating the percentage of light speed) and a missile turret capable of firing twelve missiles before reloading is required. Some shielding is sacrificed for the cause, but this is made up for by the Sentinel's incredible three-thousand-gravity maximum slower-than-light acceleration.

This is the epitome of cheap firepower, and we at NBAC strongly encourage the discerning dictator or despot to acquire one (or perhaps take advantage of our 20% discount on a Value Pack! non-refundable, not redeemable in conjunction with any other offers); otherwise, the formerly all-stylish supercrat will find themselves left behind as galactic fashion sweeps past them in an inexorable tide.

Hammer-class battleship

The Hammer-class battleship is the heaviest ship of the Kewen branch of Raython-Veltar designs, and, despite its relative lack of firepower next to the Revante-class dreadnought, serves as an admirable ship-of-the-line in most circumstances.

Sporting intensely heavy guns, up to six or seven times the power of those boasted on its competitor, the Revante, the Hammer sacrifices anti-fighter and missile ability for raw firepower. Designed specifically to act as a heavy anti-ship battleship, the Hammer does not boast much in the way of troop capacity, choosing rather to focus on combat ability. Capable of destroying smaller capships with relative ease, the Hammer is one of the larger ships Raython-Veltar has to offer. With no parasite craft, or repair ability, when you purchase the Hammer, its name stands true: while it can deliver a mighty blow, it's not much use for cutting a board, or screwing in a screw.

For a combat craft, however, no other battleship matches it in the price-to-firepower ratio, making it an extremely attractive purchase for anyone seeking merely to augment their battle ability.

Manufacturer: Kewen Hivemind
Role: Heavy fire support, anti-ship.
Technology base: Kewen, Cypria.
Length: 1634 metres.
Width: 1514 metres.

((Equipping civvie craft with matter-antimatter anihilation plants is practically inviting a terrorist attack, but that's just my opinion.

Also...what's to keep me from dumping one of your "less" sophisticated craft into a nanite foundry and gleaning the technology to build gravity weapons and such?))

(Well, seeing as Cypria regularly gives out almost all of its technology freely, we're not too concerned with teh ebil retroengineering. And, in all seriousness, when your average civilian carries around fusion generators for camping trips, the possibility of a terrorist attack is sky-high. You get around that by having intensely low population density. Nobody to kill.)

((Also, remember the Niven rule. Any efficient interstellar drive is also a weapon.))

((Fusion generators are one thing...but I just feel uncomfortable with untrained personnel carrying around antimatter. When you can obliterate a small city with an antimatter explosive the size of a lapel pin...meh. Just how I think.

Brilliant storefront, by the by.))

Steadfast-class cruiser

The second capital ship from Sabino Principle Designs, the Steadfast-class cruiser is a market version of their first design, the Determination-class, which is currently in service as standard destroyer with the Commonwealth Navy. Sabino Principle's designs are mainly focused on their namesake, the Sabino Principle.

The Sabino Principle is a collection of ideas, admirably summarised in five words by Kewen-Kostemetsian relations advocate Anthony Sabino, who was describing the Hivemind's design philosophy: "Way too many fucking guns."

The Steadfast-class certainly lives up to this, with thirteen cannon of varying types on board. The bridge is embedded in the centre of the ship, outside coverage being provided by armoured sensor arrays.

The ship is given its colossal sublight moving power by an eight-element engine array - six powerful main engines and two afterburners. In faster-than-light, the ample space supplied by the ship's downward-pointing hull accommodates a large amount of wormhole-generator hardware, allowing the ship to maintain wormholes with objective speeds of up to two thousand light years per day - this will take the ship across the Milky Way Galaxy in eighty days.

This vessel is highly recommended for the fleet-conscious national leader. It's a bargain at just 445 billion credits per unit, with a ten percent discount when you buy any of SPD's Fiefdom Fun Packs.

We at Neue Berlin Arms guarantee that these ships will be snapped up like... well, like bargain-price capital ships being snapped up by a hungry interstellar community. You won't have the opportunity for long, so order today!

Kratos-class strike cruiser

The Kratos-class strike cruiser is designed specifically for single-mission strikes. With a huge amount of railgun firepower, a small point-defense network, and a few coherent beam emitters, the ship is designed to launch a massive strike, emptying out its ammo reserves, and then retreat. As a strike cruiser, it cannot sustain combat for overlong, but, instead, is capable of overwhelming even battleship defenses momentarily if it fires consistently, making it a useful ship when one wants to put immediate, if not constant pressure on enemy defenses.

With imperfect defenses, and little in the way of a troop complement, the Kratos is only useful in an initial strike role, and cannot sustain battle for long. Despite this, the absolutely withering firepower it can muster in just a few minutes can often make it the decider in a battle.

Manufacturer: Kewen Hivemind
Role: Anti-ship.
Technology base: Kewen, Cypria.

A bump to see if any new players want to look this over for either purchasing goodness or just inspiration.

In a manner of speaking. We might as well keep running it, independently from our nations. Especially considering the amount of time we all spent making those ships.

Executioner-class Battleplate

The Executioner is the largest vessel offered for sale by R-V Arms. With a building time that nears decades, and with a half down-payment required by all but the most trustworthy customers, it is part of a ship class not often seen outside of the Realm or the Kanuckistani navy. The most potent power projection-capable ship in the R-V arsenal, and one of the most powerful within the galaxy. While it does not stand up to exclusive battleplates, such as those operated by the Fifth Realm, it is, by and large, capable of eliminating most fleets, battlegroups, navies, and smaller alliances singlehandedly. With two massive matter-annihilation plants existing as the main focus-point of the ship, the Executioner has enough power to shrug off attacks that would handily level most worlds.

This firepower does not come cheaply, though. A half down-payment is required by customers who have not already made large orders with R-V Arms, and a thorough background check is made on all customers.

(OOC: These ships are equivalent to maybe one thousand standard capships - frigates or destroyers. Resultantly, you can't possibly field one if you're under one billion, and people under two billion will have to come up with an awesome reason for being able to get one. Above that, it really depends on your ability to pay.)

Troop capacity: 3,400,000.
Vehicle complement: 64,000
Parasite craft complement: 1,540.
Weapons array: Railgun x1400, maser x22,000, onboard missile manufacturing capabilities, missile tubes x4500, gravitics capable of crushing most frigates from over five lightminutes away.

Official Message from the USSN, classified top secret

The United States Stellar Navy wishes to arm itself with the following equipment (with money donated by the Ringworld Foundation, yet again):

x1,000,000 MAKV class combat pods
x3,200 Trawler-class freighters
x2,000 Lotus-class Tactical Defense Pods
x100 Woodan-class minelayers
x100 Solaris-class Frigates
x100 Steadfast-class cruisers
x10 Hammer-class battleshps

Normally our nation would not be capable of paying this sum of money.
However, you are already familiar with the exploits of the Ringworld Foundation. You know that we can, in fact, afford this. 139 trillion dollars will be wired upon confirmation.

OOC: Aw, heck. My old post didn't go through.

IC: Raython-Veltar Arms is pleased to confirm the sale of all these craft to the USSN. Resulting from the size of the order, a complimentary Revante-class dreadnought will be issued to the USSN as a result of the unfortunately large amount of time required to manufacture all of these units.
