Fiction:Rambo Nation/Space Ships

= Introduction. = The ships of Rambo Nation are various, numerous and mighty. They fight and fly to keep society humming in a world filled with peril and destruction. Their skippers are courageous, and their crew devoted, flying day and night to keep the borders safe. Here, is an unabridged encyclopedia of all vessels in the fleet.

History
Many of these ships take part in Battlefleets, Border Patrols, or Galactic Exploration. However, some of these ships have been removed from active duty. After the Second Galactic War, Empress Ramashe put in the V2 Act, retiring many ships from active service. Under the V2 act, vessel models would either be granted or denied V2 status, and those which were denied V2 status were retired.

The first ships were launched at 450 BQF, the date Rambo Nation went into space for the first time. From that time, more classes came into service and were withdraw, and some even returned in the new V2 fleet around 01 AQF. The Rambo Nation space ships fought in a lot of battles, and part of the fleet joined the famous and elite Fleet of Retribution. As of 04 AQF, some V2 ships recieved an upgrade, known as the Mk. II update.

Current Star Ships
The Current Star Ships of Rambo Nation were constructed after the Second Galactic War and during the Intergalactic War. Empress Ramashe ordered the massive Rambo Fleet to be re-evaluated, and many ships were decomissioned. However, some other classes recieved massive updates, so that the Rambo Fleet became more organisated and now battle fleets could be monitored better. The V2 fleet is also the strongest fleet Rambo Nation ever had in their history.

Light Cruisers
Light Cruisers are small, fast moving vessels capable of hitting hard, and then falling back to regroup and try again. They enable more precise, calculated maneuvers, as opposed to the lumbering movement of flagships and fighter carriers.

Battle Cruisers
Battle Cruisers provide more firepower than light cruisers, and are more nimble than heavy cruisers or flagships, and serve as the go-between vessel for achieving a decent amount of firepower relatively quickly. They are cheaper, and thus more numerous than heavy cruisers, allowing them to concentrate their firepower, sometimes to greater effect than one large laser.

Heavy Battle Cruisers
Heavy Battle Cruisers are the 'big brothers' of battle cruisers, and pack a much greater punch. They have thick armor, impressive shields, and powerful weapons. This enables them to stay in the fight longer, and protect their smaller bretheren.

Flagships
Flagships are the centerpieces of the fleet, sporting massive firepower, and superior armor to any other ship. They inflict massive destruction upon their targets, with a direct hit vaporizing all but the toughest enemies. One-on-one nothing can stand up to a flagship.

Various Ships
The Various Ships section is made up of various kind of ship classes, from medical ships to cvilian transport.

Fighters and shuttles
The Figther and shuttles are vital in the Rambo Nation fleet. They back up the larger ships, escort shuttles, and are occaisionally used for planetary exploration. Fighter pilots sometimes land in shuttle bays of new species, as a way to greet them quickly.

Future Ship Classes
Future Ship Classes are ships build by Rambo Nation in the far future, they are not yet launched or even constructed.

Intrepid Class V2 (Legacy Era)
The Intrepid Class V2 is a cruiser/explorer ship. Rambo Nation build these ships in the far future, and aided in the survival of the Serindia during the Legacy Era after Rambo Nation her destruction. However, many of the ships were not finished in time before the Descruction, and those that were, quickly took many citizens and other things into there cargo bays and headed for outer space. So the Intrepid Class V2 ships were then send into space to ensure the survival of Rambo Nation.

However, not all of them escaped and many were destroyed upon the destruction and afterwards, when the Serindia and other citizens of Rambo Nation tried to find there way home.

Shorlty before the Legacy Era started, it becaem clear, that the USS Voyager was the only Intrepid Class V2 that survived the start of the Legacy Era.

Size: 344 meters.

Space Chart


=Ship Database= This section contains all the ships ever constructed by Rambo Nation, both V1 and V2 ships are mentioned here at chronical order.

With it comes a detailed description like crew complement, size and which kind of ships are actually deployed and which name they bare. Also is mentioned which one are destroyed or withdrawn from active service.

Akira Class (retired)

 * Length: 464 meters
 * Classification: Heavy Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 500

The Akira class was build in response to the threat of the Lizardians and the Grox around 16 BQF. As a heavy cruiser her firepower could match that of a Galaxy or Nebula Class of the V1 line. Near the end of her days is was frequently used in Battle Fleets and Task Forces, considered a new success. It is very manouverble and fast. The class is with the most modern weapons and technologies of that time. Admirals of the Fleet are eagerly asking for this class to join their fleets. The ship was capable of Warp 9.8.

After the Second Galactic War these ships have been retired from active service in the year 01 AQF.

Notable Ships:

- USS Akira.

- USS Devastor.

- USS Essex.

Ambassador Class (retired)

 * Length: 526 meters
 * Classification: Heavy Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 700

A Science/heavy battle ship of the Rambo Nation. The predescessor of the Galaxy Class. Due to the need of stronger ships around the Heer Stekeveel War (278 BQF- 263 BQF), Rambo Nation launched the Ambassador Class, a heavy cruiser and capable of inflincting a lot of damage. In her time, she turned the war into favor of Rambo Nation. Because of the production cost, there were only three in service. Many years later the Enterprise C was made, after the loss of the Enteprise-B and more ships came into service. Around 0 BQF (second galactic war) the ships were still used in and served as heavy cruisers. The ships were equipped with phasers, photon torpedos, phaser emmiters and good shields. It was capable of Warp 9.8.

After the Second Galactic War the class was retired from active service and demolished in 01 AQF. In the year 04 AQF, the ships design were re-evaluated and the shipyards of Rowar prepare to re-launch the class and give her a V2 status.

Notable ships:

Anteras Class

 * Length: 225 meters
 * Classification: Transport Ship
 * Crew complement: minimal 8, maximum 32

The Antares Class are the cargo ships of Rambo Nation, already in service in the early years of Rambo Nation, they withstands the changes of Rambo Nation and became a prominent sight again after the Second Galactic War. The Antares Class are the only ships that are not neccesarily commanded by a Captain, First Officers are also allowed to command these ships. The ships are small in size, but can carry a lot of cargo (only cargo and not civillians). Over the course of years, the ship constantly recieved updates to match with shields, and phasers to the modern ships. She also recieved massive updates during the V2 update, but was not given the V2 status.

Altough the ship is known for her stability, the ship is also known as smuggler ship and is often the target of Rambo inspections.

Notable ships:

- USS Antares.

- USS Hermes.

- USS Nowlan.

- USS Senzig.

- USS Woden

Armstrong Class
The Armstrong Class was created during the Early History era, using the old designs of the Bonaventura Class, the Armstrong Class became a modified version, used for defense in the Outer Regions, defending colonies like Javan. However, upon there launch they were already seen as old buckets and were mostly used for patrol duties in the Outer Regions. Near the end of the Golden Age era, the ships were not used in battles anymore (not like the Kelvin Class). But the Armstrong Class remained in acive service, functioning as transport ships in the Outer Regions, they still did this until their retirement in the year 04 AQF. They were equipped with photon torpedo's and phasers and decent shields. They could achieve Warp 6.5.
 * Length: 254 meters
 * Classification: Light Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 550

Notable Ships:

Bonaventure Class

 * Length: 212 meters
 * Classification: Light Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 650

A ship class even older than the Constitution and miranda Classes. This type is the first ship in Rambo Nation to recieve and make use of Warp Speed. The ship saw action just before the launch of the 1st Rambo Fleet and immideatly after the withdrawl of the Contitution Class.

There weren't many ships of this class constructed, so it wasn't a common sight. Most of the ships went on mission of exploration or were destroyed in the earlier conflicts. As of now none of these ships are in the Fleet of Rambo Nation, but they are still used as personal ships or as training ships for cadets. The ship was capable of Warp Speed 2, had shields and 1 transporter Room.


 * Length: 212 Meters
 * Classification: Light Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 458-500

The Bonaventura is the oldest class of vessel in the entire fleet of Rambo Nation, and rarely active even after receiving V2 status. This is due to extremely wealthy Rambo Nation citizens buying them. Although Rambo authorities do not want to confirm the rumor, it is believed the wealthy aided Rambo Nation in funding the massive V2 Update program. Also, it is believed that, in gratitude, Rambo Nation allowed the rare Bonaventura Class to also be updated. In the update, it recieved improved shields, weapons and communications. For that reason the Bonaventura Class is rarely in battle fleets, and more frequently as a yacht for the wealthy.

Notable ships:

-USS Agamemnon.

-USS Apus.

-USS Aquila.

- USS Bonaventura.

-USS Continent.

-USS Copernicus.

-USS Coultrip. (destroyed during the Trogg Wars).

 * Length: 938 meters
 * Classification: Surveillance Battle Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 230

A heavy cruiser, with a ring shaped warp drive, like the Insector Ships. This ship is much stronger and faster, most of the time used as a cruiser or exploration vessel since being launched. The ship was designed by Rambo Nation and the Insector Eldarions, becoming one of the first joint design ships within the Alliance. Unfortunately, it took Rambo Nation and the Insectors more then a decade to agree on the design. They predict that this ship will be launched over 3 years, and that production is starting.

During the Second Galactic War the class was destroyed by the Imperial Alliance when it was docked at Rowar in the year 0 BQF.

Notable ship:

- USS Cardiff (destroyed during 2nd Galactic War)

Centaur Class (retired)

 * Length: 318 meters
 * Classification: Medium Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 315

A medium cruiser in the Rambo Space Fleet. The ships were designed for exploration and for battle, by using older desings the ships were easy to produce and replace when lost. That is the reason for most of them saw action during the Diva Bettie War. The ships were capable of Warp 9.2 and have all the modern weapons, transporters etc. of that time. Most of these ships were sent on patrol duties for the Mid Colonial Sector.

After the Second Galactic War these ships were retired from active service in 01 AQF.

Notable Ships:

- USS Carolina.

- USS Centaur.

- USS Cheiron.

- USS Madrid.

Cheyenne Class (retired)

 * Length: 362 meters
 * Classification: Medium Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 216

The Cheyenne Class is medium cruiser, fast and used for short range exploration missions and rapid response. Although there have only been 2 of this ships sighted, it seems that they are only used for covert missions and perhaps have cloaking devices. Rambo Command denies this. It is known, however, that they are capable of Warp 9.9. Rambo Command later admitted the ship class did indeed excist, but the project was a failiure as the cloacking devices disturbed the internal systems. When Empress Ramashe recalled the entire fleet to give the V2 act in notice, the two ships of this class were destroyed and withdrawn from active service in 01 AQF.

Notable Ships:

- USS Ahwahnee

- USS Corinth

Constellation Class

 * Length: 310 meters
 * Classification: Battle Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 535

This ship is mainly used as a battle cruiser. The Constellation Refit class is capable of inflicting damage within short notice, and is seen in many one on one combat situations. The ship is used for long range exploration and patrol duties. Some of these ships are also seen in the fleets, but not often since most are assigned to border patrol.

The Constellation class has also recieved updates to keep up with the range of more modern ships. The ship has shields and all the weapons of current days, also the ship is capable of Warp 8.7.
 * Length: 310 meters
 * Classification: Battle Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 535

The V2 Constellation Class are the battle cruisers of the Rambo Fleets in the years after the Second Galactic War. Active in every fleet, these ships can be counted on to win a battle. Their structure has been designed to be capable of achieving warp at a short period of time to confuse or trap enemy ships.

The structures of the ship also aided in the durability of the vessel, as it can contain massive damage and can still function. However, as the ships has 4 Warp coils, it can be severly crippled if they are destroyed. Notable ships:

- USS Antietam. - USS Canopus.

- USS Cochise.

Although classified as heavy cruisers, they can also be used for long range exploration and the Constitution Class V2 became a preffered ship class for Rambo Captains.

The Constitution Class V2 can be found in every fleet of Rambo Nation, whether it is in Battle Fleets or in Outer Colonial Fleets, the Constitution Class is a ship to be cautios with.

The ships are frequently found in the defense fleet of Captain Ramborwski.

 * Classification: Heavy Battle Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 430

The Constitution Refit Class V2 is a familair class similair to the Constitution Class V2. Though the Refit Class is slightly larger and is more build for combat instead of exploration. With extra phasers and torpedo launch bays the Refit Class integrates nicely into the Rambo Nation Space Fleet and has already proven her might.

the Constitution Refit Class V2 can be found in every fleet of Rambo Nation, whether it is in Battle Fleets or in Outer Colonial Fleets. The Class is often seen as the smaller sister of the Galaxy Class V2 but none the less, is a ship class to be catious with. Equipped with phasers and photon torpedoes.
 * Length: 366 meters.
 * Classification:Heavy Battle Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 430

In the year 04 AQF, the Constitution Refit Class recieved another upgrade, and was designated as the Constitution-Reftit Class V2 Mk. II. However, some believe it is an entirely new design and ship, only sharing similarities with the original versions. The Mk. II is larger, and is equipped with heavier weaponry and shields. The Mk. II is able to fire both blue and red colored phasers, with the red colored phasers being more powerful, but it drains the shields. The Mk. II can also fire quantem torpedoes, something the original Constitution variants aren't able to do.

Though the class is expensive to produce and contruct, for that reason the ship class isn't all that common and will more be used for space exploration and will only be called into battle as reinforcements, to surprise and overwhelm the enemy forces. All Constitution Refit Class V2 were overhauled to the Mk. II version.

Notable Ships:

- USS Androcus

DCP/Rambo Hybrid (retired)

 * Length: classified
 * Classification: Heavy Battle Cruiser
 * Crew complement: Classified

Created by Wormulon The DCP is one of the Rambo's strongest allies. During the DCP civil war, and other conflicts, the Rambo have always given their aid. However, in the War of Ages, the Rambo are taking heavy losses (and were about to be invaded by the Cognatus), and they were still recovering from the Second Galactic War. So, the DCP decided to give a life changing gift to the Rambo, some of their starship technology. The DCP believed the Rambo were advanced enough to use the technology wisely, and would destroy themselves with it. So, the gift was a starship, a hybrid of Rambo and DCP technology. Old systems have been kept, but are upgraded, and various new technologies were outfitted. It will hopefully aid the Rambo in future conflicts. The technical capabilities are only known to the highest ranking captains and offcials, but its capabilities are shown here to show the new changes.

Technical capabilities
 * Upgraded systems:Phasers are now 10x as powerful as the previous phasers. Shields and cloaking devices also last up to 3x as long.  Upgraded torpedo bays can carry up to 50 transphasic and quantum torpedoes.  Photon torpedoes are now 100 megatonnes each.
 * New weapons:1 phased Polaron beam, 2 quantum resonance charge cannons (easily disables most shields), 2 Quad turbolaser cannons and 2 more are classified, and known only to the Rambo. Multi-layered shielding can survive continuos bombardment of 200 gigatonnes for up to 3 minutes.
 * New systems:Ghost phasing, the ability to shift out of sinc with spacetime. New scanning technologies.
 * New FTL:Transwarp, many times faster than Warp 9.9, note that the Warp nacelle is long and thin, and is disconnected from the main ship (a characteristic of many DCP designs). They are not connected by forcefields, but by multiply connected spacetime.  This will ensure, that Rambo ships will never suffer the dangers of warp-core/transwarp breaches again.

After the March of the Apocalypse, which during the USS Basilisk was destroyed the Hybrid Class was withdrawn from active service and were not being used as a last resort, also the various technology was extensively studies by the Rambo Nation scientist, in search for a way to duplicate it or improve there own technology with it. The Transphasic class torpedo's are an example of this.

-USS Basilisk (destroyed during the March of the Apocalypse)

-USS Chimaera

-USS Manticore

Defiant Class (retired)

Although an older design, it is a preffered ship by many due to it's effectiveness. These ships are produced a lot and are frequently updated with better weapons and shields. They are used for transport of Ambassoders or used in Battle Fleets. The ships were launched in the golden age and Rambo Command had high hopes for this class. The ships proved this and were produced in great numbers, becoming one of the most succefull classes in all of Rambo History. Even in the present day the ships are produced and upgraded. The ships are used for exploration, transport in battle fleets and patrol duties, or even investigation missions. Eventually the Excelsior also recieved a refit, it's prototype was the Enterprise-B. But after her loss there weren't any Excelsior refit class ships built until the Noble Alliance. Due to that, the class is identified as a Noble Alliance Era class.

 * Length: 525 meters
 * Classification: Flagship Heavy Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 750

As of 04 AQF all of the original V2 versions were called back to the Shipyards of Rowar. There they recieved a massive upgrade, even changed in appearance and coloring. The variant was named the Excelsior Class V2 Mk. II and is stronger and more efficient than the original V2 version. Equipped with phasers (blue and red), photon and quantem torpedoes. Even more, the Mk. II is equipped with the experimental Transphasic Torpedoes(which deliver a subspace compression pulse which penetrates shields) and the powerful Phased Plasma Torpedos (which partially phase through a ship's shields before detonating).

After the success of the Constitution class in the Trogg Wars Rambo Nation needed some stronger ships for defense and patrol duties since the Constitution class was being used for exploration. This marked the beginning of the Federation Class, which strongly resembled the Constitution class but with an extra Warp Nacelle and better weapons. These ships were considered the Battle Ships of Rambo Nation at that time and feared by the Trogg. The ship class was also sometimes considered the 'Star' Line for it's beauty. But with the coming of the Excelsior Class and Constitution Refit Class, the ship soon lost it's title of the strongest ship in the fleet and was soon retired from active service.

Intrepid Class (under construction)

 * Length: 344
 * Classification: Battle Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 141

A battle cruiser type ship, capable of fast attack and maneuver. It is also the only ship within Rambo Fleet that can land on a planet and take off with ease. The ship class is used for surveying, exploration, as couriers and cruisers. Equipped with good weapons the ship class has proven itself in combat. Many of these ships were used against the Grox. The ship is capable of Warp 9.9. The Intrepid class has been retired from active service, shortly before the Intergalactic War in the year 01 AQF.

As of 04 AQF design plans for the V2 were written on the design tables at the Shipyards of Rowar, and are expected to come into service within 3 years.

In the far future, upon the time of the Legacy Era a special type of the Intrepid Class was launched, but most were destroyed during a disaster and technical date is not availible.

Notable Ships:

- USS Avalon.

- USS Bellerophon. (destroyed during the 2nd Galactic War)

- USS Dessalines.

- USS Dolphin.

- USS Intrepid.

- USS Pathfinder.

- USS Scorpion.

Kelvin Class

 * Length: 315 meters
 * Classification: Light Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 700 - 800

An old ship class in the Rambo Nation Space Fleet (RNSF). The Kelvin Class saw action just after the Bonaventure class was launched and was part of the 1st Fleet. Many of this ship class were rushed into action. Even now, the ship class is still active in the Outer Colonies and are mostly part of Captain Ramborwski's Defense Fleet, although the ships lack the fire power of the Galaxy Class. The original version was well in active service and even saw action in the Second Galactic War.
 * Length: 315 meters
 * Classifcation: Light Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 700 - 800

The Kelvin Class is another old design, but also recieved a V2 status and remained a common sight at the Outer Colonial Fleets.

After there V2 update, the ship could now equall a Newton Class and became a common sight at battles in the Outer Colonial Regions. The Kelvin Class V2 is also sometimes used as exploration ship and intercepting ship. The ship can be classified as a Light Cruiser. They are the most common sight in Rambo Nation battlefleets and can operate with a minimun personall onboard. Many Outer Colonial Captains whom just graduated the Rambo Academy, are often given command of a Kelvin Class.


 * Length: 315 meters.
 * Classification: Light Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 250

As of 04 AQF the Kelvin Class V2 recieved another upgrade, better known as the Kelvin Class V2 Mk. II. The Mk. II version is equipped with better shields and weapons, and can fire both photon torpedos and blue phasers. As such, the ship is jsut an upgrade to the others, and over time Rambo Command expects all original V2 version will be replaced by the Mk. II version.

Due to the upgrade, the Mk. II needs less crew to operate, making her more efficient.

Notable Ships:

- USS Ashanti.

- USS Divide.

- USS Fahrenheid.

- USS Kelvin.

- USS Polarity.

- USS Pollux. (destroyed during the Trogg Wars).

- USS Premonition.

- USS Spode.

Luna Class (retired)

 * Length: 450 meters
 * Classification: Battle Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 350

These ships are named after Earth's moon in the Sol System and are often called the Moon Line. The ships are used for long range exploration and scientific missions, containing many labs, cargo bays and acommodations on board. The ship is armed as well, for protection from any specimens that prove unwilling to be surveyed.

Due to the troubled time and the threat of the Rambo Resistance and Lizardian Empire; Rambo Nation decided that the exploration program should continue, and Rambo Nation launched the Luna Class built, only for long range exploration, even beyond Quadrant 82. It was this class that entered the wormhole and made contact with the Seven Starr Alliance. But another was destroyed when it entered a nearby Qaudrant and was caught in an Ion storm and anti-graviy waves. There are risks on serving on these very long range exploration ships. The ships were capable of Warp 9.8 and equipped with phasers and quantem torpedo's.

The Luna Class was retired from active service after the Second Galactic War in the year 01 AQF.

Notable Ships:

- USS Callisto

- USS Charon (destroyed by ion storm)

- USS Europa

- USS Galatea

- USS Ganymede

- USS Lo (destroyed in anti gravital wave)

- USS Luna (destroyed during encounters in the Legacy Era)

- USS Oberon

- USS Rhea

Merced Class
Based upon the Excelsior class, these ships are newer, faster and more powerful than the Excelsior class. The Merced class is a heavy cruiser but is not as massive as a Galaxy Class. Some say these are the replacements for the very successful and populair Excelsior Class, but others say they will only be used in battles. This would give them a short service length, due to the already more effective battle ships like the Galaxy, Sovereign, New Orleans or the Prometheus Classes. The Merced Class are being tested as corvettes and support vessels, being very powerfull and fast. It is said that these vessels are capable of Warp 9.9 and are using a new transport system, namely Transwarp. But this is of yet unconfirmed, since Transwarp is highly dangerous and has been made illegal by the Noble Alliance. This could mean why Rambo Nation would like to use it...
 * Length: 336 meters
 * Classification: Flagship Heavy Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 220
 * Length: 336 meters
 * Classification: Flagship Heavy Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 220

Already an experimental ship before her V2 status, the Merced Class kept her special status after the V2 update, and became one of the most powerful ships of Rambo Nation. The Merced Class is one of the only ships that can use Transwarp, or fire multiple quantum torpedoes at once. The most notable Merced Class is the USS Caprica, flagship of Captain Rambas II's fleet and a common sight in the Cyrannus Galaxy. The Merced Class recieved some drastic changes, both external and internal.
