Fiction:United Republic of Cyrannus/Republic Navy

The majority of URC ships are based on Star Wars, Halo and Battlestar Galactica

When the Capricorn Sector Alliance was reformed into the United Republic of Cyrannus it kept all the same starships but began producing them at a much higher rate. The ships still use the CSS call sign however now it stands for Cyrannus Star Ship

Orbital Defence Platform

 * Task- To protect planets of great importance and to repair and reload capital ships
 * Size- 2 miles in height
 * Weapons / Defence-'Super' High Velocity Projectile Cannon, several beam cannons and nuclear missile launchers.
 * Significant Locations- Every major United Republic Colony, 1000 orbiting each of the Twelve Colones

A Orbital Defense Platform is a class of large URC space stations used to defend locations of great importance, typically planets of high strategic value. Stations are frequently placed in Geosynchronous orbit and deployed in groups, or clusters, of 2 to 5. The well-equipped and large bridge of an ODP is suitable for directing large-scale engagements. The primary and crucial armament is a "Super" HVP gun capable of causing near-fatal damage to even a shielded capital ship with a single slug. It can shoot a shell at enormous velocities, plus the shell usually weighs 3,000 tons which is a factor to whether or not it can penetrate a enemy ship's shields in one shot.

United Republic Super Star Destroyer
The Super-class measured 30 kilometers in length, was approximately five times larger and more destructive than any Star Destroyer class in the Republic Navy, and was 100 times more massive than the ubiquitous Hunter-class Star Destroyer. They are among the largest vessels in the Cyrannus galaxy, second only to the Justice Stars, and are almost invincible in combat, although they are costly to operate

Deus Class Cruiser

 * Task- Ship to Ship Combat, Command Ships
 * Size- 2190 meters
 * Weapons / Defence-2 UHV Cannons, Missile pods(60 missiles each), Point Defense Guns, 5 tactical nuclear bombs
 * Significant Events- Near the end of the Trucinex War, Second Galactic War

The Deus-class Cruiser is a class of URC Navy warships. At 2,190 meters, they were some of the largest and most powerful warships ever utilized by the Capricorn Sector Alliance and its successor. Their numbers are huge, and they were usually commanded by the high ranking officers. These behemoths, at nearly 2,200 meters, are slightly under three times the length of a Incendia Frigate. They are also known for their heavy armor; they can survive multiple plasma and nuclear impacts and are able to sustain far greater damage than any class of URC Frigate. Due to their size, durability and firepower, these massive vessels are commanded by URC Admirals and high ranking captains such as Admiral Cretaceous and primarily serve as command/capital ships.

Republic Class Battleship

 * Task- Ship to Ship Combat, Orbital Bombardment
 * Size- 3000 meters
 * Weapons / Defence-Energy Weapon Turrets, 2 tactical nuclear bombs, Point defence lasers.
 * Significant Events- Near the end of the Trucinex War, Second Galactic War

The Republic class Battleships are top of the line class after the Trucinex War. Firepower of the Republic class is far greater than on older classes of battleships. This allows a Republic class Battleship, which is much larger than older Battleships, to require far less crew than previous ships of her type. The Republic requires a crew of only around 2,450 crewmembers. Due to these more advanced systems, the vast majority of Battleships survived the Trucinex War. These ships were designed as flagships and to be able to command fleets of vessels in addition to the fighters carried. As such, these ships carry extensive command and control facilities.The ship mounts numerous small arrays around the hull and work similar to phased array systems and can perform both the roles of tracking and fire control.

Hunter Class Star Destroyer

 * Task- Ship to Ship Combat, Fighter Deployment
 * Size- 2517 meters
 * Weapons / Defence-Heavy dual turbolaser turrets, turbolasers, 8 tactical nukes
 * Significant Events- Trucinex War, Second Galactic War

The Hunter Class Star Destroyer, gave the United Republic starfleet its considerable teeth. It is the most common warship in the navy and the most successful. The wedge-shaped warship was not primarily a cargo transport, troop carrier or other replenishment or supply vessel; it was developed and honed for ship-to-ship combat. Its huge armored shape had an aggressive, dagger-like profile, studded with heavy weapons emplacements capable of punching through powerful shields and sturdy armor. From its twin elevated conning towers, the crew of military officers oversaw the craft's operations. At over a kilometer and a half in length, it was big and powerful enough to tangle with the Trucinex and Imperial Alliance fleets, but it was also quite fast. Its huge reactor-powered sublight engines afforded the Hunter-class Star Destroyer respectable speed, enabling it to chase down blockade runners and smaller combat vessels. They can fire 460 teratonnes in one minute and are superweapons on themselves.

Imperator Class Star Destroyer

 * Task- Ship to Ship Combat, Orbtal Bombardment
 * Size- 1910 meters
 * Weapons / Defence-Heavy dual turbolaser turrets, turbolasers, 10 tactical nukes
 * Significant Events- Intergalactic War

The triangular silhouette of the new Imperator Class has come a long way since its early designs. These were met with feelings of pride and relief as they came soaring to solve intergalactic strife, while for the URCs enemies its gargantuan size cleary inspires both awe and terror. The wedge-shaped capital ship is bristling with weapons emplacements. Turbolasers dot its surface. Its anger bay can launch Viper Fighters, Raptors and land assault units. Its bustling bridge is staffed by the finest crewers in the United Republic fleet. They are relativly common but not so much as their Hunter Class friends.

Independence Class Battleship

 * Task- Ship to Ship Combat, Orbital Bombardment, Aircraft Carrier
 * Size- 1137 meters
 * Weapons / Defence-506 Flak/PD Cannons, 24 Dual Heavy KEWs, Nuclear Missile Battery
 * Significant Events- Second Galactic War

The Independence Class Battleship, is the pinnacle of Republic Fleet engineering for its size. These mighty warships provide a variety of strategic and tactical roles roles that contribute heavily towards the war effort, helping to ensure the longevity of the United Republic. The Independence is technically a battleship/carrier hybrid also capable of deploying a regiment of Marines for ship-to-ship/ground interdiction. The Independence offers unprecedented tactical flexibility, even without the use of its Vipers. In the short to medium ranges, the Battlestar can simultaneously create a deadly protective screen of flak, all the while placing high caliber rounds on target with its Heavy KEWs. Without a doubt, the armament on the Battleship is impressive.

Alliance Class Star Destroyer

 * Task- Ship to Ship Combat, Orbital Bombardment
 * Size- 900 meters
 * Weapons / Defence-Turbolasers, Anti Matter Bombs
 * Significant Events- Near the end of the Trucinex War, Second Galactic War

These ships are far smaller than the Hunter class Star Destroyer but are still well armed and quite capable. Although the Republic was never manufactured in such tremendous numbers as the Hunter, that is a relative number. The total production run of Alliance Star Destroyers build by the URC still numbered in the thousands of ships. Its main advantage was that its small size and more powerful antigravity drives actually allow the Alliance to enter and maneuver in a atmosphere, the Republic can even be set down in a sufficiently large body of water, such as large lakes and oceans. The main disadvantages of the Republic are its very slow acceleration and low top speed.

Incendia Class Frigate

 * Task- Ship to Ship Combat, Protection of larger fleet ships
 * Size- 600 meters
 * Weapons / Defence-Flak Cannons, Anti Matter Bombs, HVP Cannons
 * Significant Events- Near the end of the Trucinex War, Second Galactic War

The Incendia Class Frigate is a starship classification in the URC Navy. It has the amount of armor, armament, and firepower comparable to a much larger ship, plus the Frigate is smaller and thus more maneuverable. It is cheaper to produce, allowing greater numbers to be fielded against the Trucinex and Imperial Alliance threat. Incendia Frigates are capable of hovering in an atmosphere and landing. They also have a cargo bay in their rear section which is capable of extending out of the ship's ventral side to deploy vehicles or cargo directly to the ground.

Notable Ships

Serindia Class Heavy Cruiser
The Serindia class is named in honour of Rambo Nation and the design was mainly aimed at planetary bombardment proficiency, it is simular to design to the Athena Class and it is an evolution of it. It is also a fully-fledged warship. As a result of this, ships of this class had 80% less space available for troops. Therefore, most fleets would only include one or two of these for orbital strikes while the majority of a given planetary assault fleet would be made up of the troop carrying Raptors.
 * Task- Ship to Ship Combat, Orbital Bombardment
 * Size- 700 meters
 * Weapons / Defence-Flak Cannons, Anti Matter Bombs, HVP Cannons

 * Significant Events- Second Galactic War

The Viper is the URCs Fleet's latest update to the venerable Cobra Fighter primary space superiority fighter / attack craft. Capable of atmospheric flight, the Viper is the front-line variant of the fighter design, retaining the Cobras's general layout but adding fully integrated avionics that provide superior battle management and flight information for the pilot.

Scorpio Bomber

 * Task- Bomber, Protection of larger ships
 * Size- 15 meters
 * Weapons / Defence-Ion Cannons, lasers, torpedos.
 * Significant Events- Second Galactic War

The Scorpio Bomber was deployed as a fighter-bomber, designed to fight its way to its objective, deliver its payload of high explosives, and fight its way out again. Its weaponry included two laser cannons, two ion cannons, and two proton torpedo launchers. It is similar in appearance to the Viper.

Sector Alliance Raptor

 * Task- Reconnaissance and surveillance, transport
 * Size- 16 meters
 * Weapons / Defence-Missiles and bombs
 * Significant Events- Second Galactic War

The Raptor is a vehicle utilized by the URC military. While it is designed to perform multiple roles, the Raptor most commonly takes part in reconnaissance and transporting operations. It is designed for reconnaissance, scout operations, marine assaults, ambulance, EVAC, and general transport. It is a very common ship in the fleet and will be in service for years.

Athena Class Troop Transport
The 752-meter-long Athena class assault transport carried thousands of URC troopers into battle. The Athena favored a wedge or dagger shaped design, like how the URC have been designing their capital ships for years, due to its effectiveness—it allowed concentration of firepower while minimizing target profile.
 * Task- Reconnaissance and surveillance, transport
 * Size- 752 meters
 * Weapons / Defence-Turbolasers
 * Significant Events- Second Galactic War

Retired Ships
These ships are not used any more in the URC Fleet.
