Fiction:United Republic of Cyrannus/Republic Navy

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

The United Republic Naval Command or the Colonial Navy is the primary space force of the United Republic of Cyrannus. It controls many large and powerful ships and its might is rivaled by few. It generally works closely with the navies of the DCP and Rambo nation in various conflicts across the cosmos. The captains that serve in the navy can be seen here. The Navy is headquartered on Cyroenia, but central power is in the government of Orbispira.

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.

Majestic Class Super Star Dreadnought

 * Task- To protect planets of great importance and to destroy enemy fleets; flagships
 * Size- 25 kilometres length
 * Weapons / Defence-1000 turbolasers, 500 heavy turbolasers, 1000 ion cannons, 400 heavy ion cannons, 40 tractor beam generators.

The gigantic Majestic Class Super Star Dreadnought (More commonly called the Republic Super Star Destroyer) is by far the largest class of ship in the Republic Navy. They are massive command ships with enough fire power to crack open planets surfaces with ease. They are often seen as command ships for high ranking officers in the Republic Navy.

DCP-URC Hybrid - Centaur Class
By the end of the Intergalactic War, the URC was taking massive losses. So the DCP decided it would help out its ally, in finishing off the Cognatus in URC space by giving the URC some of the DCP's technologies. The DCP believes the URC are now advanced enough not to destroy themselves (the DCP has givern less advanced species their tech before, only to watch them destroy each other overnight). But as the greatest democracy, it is unlikely that the URC would fracture over it. So, the DCP created a new ship, a hybrid of URC and DCP technology and construction. The ships were built for free, because the DCP has dissolved its currency. The class is powered by a Black hole singularity, giving it almost unlimited power, so its turbolaser output is now in the petaton range and hyperdrives can work without stopping. It is also fueled by exotic matter, its negative mass makes space warp around it more effectively. The hull has been strengthened with hyperdense neutronium, found only on neutron stars. It also has several new weapons and defenses, as well as a huge cargo hold to speed up the recovery after the Intergalactic War. The crew is both DCP and URC.
 * Task - Special/classified missions, or missions where normal URC ships are outgunned.
 * Size - 1,500 meters in length.
 * ''Weapons / Defense
 * DCP - Quantum-class torpedoes, transphasic-class torpedoes, 2 heavy disruptor beams, drones, quantum resonance charges, subspace burst
 * URC - 30 Quad turbolaser batteries, 4 heavy Ion cannons, proton-class missiles
 * Note - Wormulon has created this, as he was interested in what a combination would look like.

Venator Class Star Destroyer

 * Task- Ship to Ship Combat, Fighter Deployment
 * Size- 1,500 meters long.
 * Weapons / Defence-Heavy dual turbolaser turrets, turbolasers, 8 tactical nukes, photon cannon
 * Significant Events- Republic Classic Era

The Venator Class Star Destroyer is the primary warship of the Republic Navy. As the successor to the Hunter Class, it can be seen in all Republic Fleets, often operating in threes.

The Venator is produced by the famous Shipyards of Cyroenia and is an often seen cruiser of fleet admirals. The cruiser can hold hundreds of star fighters and thousands of troops to bring into land battles.

The ship holds thousands of weapons and is a force to be reckoned with. Flagship Venators often have red conning towers to separate it from other cruisers.

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.

Notable Ships

Cyrannus 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, Intergalactic War

The Cyrannus 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. Cyrannus 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. The ship is notable for being the only URC to have survived three wars that the URC was involved in.

Notable Ships


 * CSS Legacy
 * CSS Amber
 * CSS Leonis
 * CSS Coalition

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

Defender Class Light Destroyer

 * Task- Anti Fighter patrols,
 * Size- 579 meters
 * Weapons / Defence-Ten heavy turbolasers, twenty ion cannons, and five tractor-beam projectors
 * Significant Events-Intergalactic War

At 579 meters long, Defenders are considered light cruisers, but they are quite heavily armed. The standard Republic weapon configuration includes ten heavy turbolasers, twenty ion cannons, and five tractor-beam projectors. A major drawback of the Defender is that it has no hangar bay. The Defender must rely on other ships or planetary bases for fighter support. However, the ship has powerful sublight engines that give it the speed of a Viper fighter, making it one of the fastest cruisers in the Republics fleet.

Diplomacy Class Corvette

 * Task- Anti Fighter patrols, diplomatic transport
 * Size- 150 meters
 * Weapons / Defence-Varies, but heavy shields and speed.
 * Significant Events-Intergalactic War

A common corvette used by URC Diplomats, sometimes however it is used during wartime using its high speeds to bring aid to invaded colonies. In its military configuration, a Corvette has little cargo space and few amenities; instead, that space is taken up by bigger sublight engines and shield generators, fire control and defensive computers, fuel containers, weapons systems, and troop berths. A military Corvette requires a crew of about 165 men and women to operate effectively.

Ambassador Class

 * Task- Diplomatic transport
 * Size- 115 meters
 * Weapons / Defence-4 turbolasers
 * Significant Events-After the Intergalactic War

The Ambassador Class Crusier has replaced the Diplomat Class as the most prominant URC diplomatic ship, used to ferry ambassadors and peacekeepers across the universe. They have three huge sublight engines capable of propelling it across the cosmos at relative ease. It is coloured red to signify diplomatic immunity.

Ambassador Class Refit



 * Task- Diplomatic transport
 * Size- 115 meters
 * Weapons / Defence-4 turbolasers, 4 ion cannons, strong shields
 * Significant Events-After the Intergalactic War

This version of the Ambassador Class has been retrofited for use in war, they are very effective against bombers and fighters. Unlike the original Ambassador Class this version is painted in the style of the larger Star Destroyers of the Republic. It is also equipped with several weapons and shields.

Preservation Class Star Destroyer (Thanks to Dinoman82)

 * Task- Space exploration, scientific exploration, colonization vessel
 * Size- 1950 meters
 * Weapons / Defence-Heavy weapons, strong shields
 * Significant Events-Intergalactic War

The Preservation Class is a large ship, measering 1950 meters. The Preservation Class can carry shuttles, drop ships and civilian crafts. She is one of the large ships that is able to go into orbit and land and function on the surface of a planet (yet landing is a rarity, since it takes a lot of energy to rise up again). She is expensive to create, as she comes with luxary rooms, science labs, astrometric lab, sick bay and even a small hangar where flora can grow and be studied. Though she has a lot of room for scientific purposes, she is equipped with heavy weapons. The various scientific purposes were equipped with aid of the URC allies, the Rambo and effectivly making this class able to function in battlefleets and able to explore space or to go to places were long time travel is needed.

X2 Fighter



 * Task- Fighter, Protection of larger ships
 * Size- 12 meters
 * Weapons / Defence-Missiles and lasers
 * Significant Events- Classic Era

The X-2 Class Star Fighter is the most common starfighter in the Republic Navy, being much more powerful and quick then the Viper Class. The X-2 is capable of atmospheric flight and space fight and can fold its X-Wings to be more aerodynamic in space.

Viper Fighter



 * Task- Fighter, Protection of larger ships
 * Size- 12 meters
 * Weapons / Defence-Missiles and lasers
 * 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.

Lance Class Bomber

 * Task- Bomber, Protection of larger ships
 * Size- 25 meters
 * Weapons / Defence-Missiles, Cannons
 * Significant Events- Second Galactic War

Repeatedly described as a space fighter or bomber, intended to engage enemy fighters, dropships, larger ships and boarding craft in route to their capital-ships, Lances have also been seen in a variety of roles, making for an extremely versatile craft. They are capable of holding their own even against technologically superior fighters used by the Cognatus, using missiles and cannons to deal tremendous firepower and with a skilled pilot, may even be equal to the Cognatus fighters.

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.
