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.

Ship weapons and defenses
Rambo Nation her ships weapon and defense systems are listed and descriped following the description on the SporeWiki technology page.

Phasers
The Space ships of Rambo Nation primary weapon systems are phasers, often being fired from phaser banks or cannons. The phasers are designed to disable enemy ships and shields. Rambo captain often use the phasers for pin point and precise attacks, disabeling the enemies ship her engines, shield generators and weapon systems.

Sometimes, when facing cloacked ships or fighters Rambo Nation ships fire a so called "spread" phaser, firing multiply phaser beams in differant directions.

Torpedoes
Torpedoes are a Rambo Nation ship her secondary weapon, but most of the time also her most powerful and devastating weapons. Captains often fire torpedoes to weaken enemy shields, or to destroy or heavily damage the enemy ship. Rambo Nation uses differant kind of torpedoes:
 * Photon torpedoes: are warp-capable tactical matter/antimatter weapons, equipped with photon warhead for detonation. They are the most basic kind of torpedo of Rambo Nation.
 * Quantem torpedoes: are tactical quantum weapons, that utilized a plasma warhead to cause severe damage to an enemy ships. Though quite common, not every class is able to fire and use quantem torpedoes.
 * Phasic torpedoes: are special kind of torpedoes, only used by certain kind of ship classes. They can be devided in two differant kind of torpedoes:
 * Transphasic Torpedoes(which deliver a subspace compression pulse which penetrates shields)
 * Phased Plasma Torpedos (which partially phase through a ship's shields before detonating)
 * Vortex torpedoes: the strongest and most dangeorus torpedoes of Rambo Nation. When detonated they create a small black hole, which consumes the target, though it needs a second vortex torpedo to close the black hole. It this not happens, no one knows the result, but Command fears an unstable black hole could create herself. Only certain type of ship classes are allowed to carry a maximum of 12 vortex torpedoes.

Other
Rambo Nation also has other ways to defend themselves or to attack enemy ships or targets, besides only phasers and various torpedo types.
 * Deflector Shields: Deflector shields or screens, generally referred to simply as shields, were a type of force field that surrounds a Rambo Nation space ship (or space station or planet) to protect the ship against enemy attacks or natural hazards. Deflector shields operate by creating a layer, or layers, of energetic distortion containing a high concentration of gravitons around the ship for protection. On the space ships the shield contains six sections, forward, starboard, port, aft, dorsal, and ventral.
 * Deflector Dish: The deflector dish, also called the navigational deflector or deflector array is a component on (most) Rambo Nation space ships. The deflector dish can have two functions:
 * Her primary function is to deflect space debris, small asteroids, microscopic particles and others objects that might collide with the space ship, whether travelling at impulse or at warp. The dish is always activated and can have differant kind of colours to represent that she is online and active.
 * Her secondary function comes around when modifications are made to the dish. The dish can then fire a powerful beam (deflector pulse) to destroy objects, push away objects or generate a sub space explosion. The modifications allow such a pulse to be generated, but also prevents the pulse from rupturing EPS conduits, the warp core and prevents an overload to the ship, which might result in her destruction.
 * Temporal weapon: The Typhon class her main weapon is a beam of temporal energy that pushed objects out of the spacetime continuum, effectively erasing them from history. Careful and meticulous calculations were required to create the exact changes in the timeline that were desired, it could be used at object, planets and even on solar objects like a star.

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.

- USS Geronimo.

- USS Red Cloud.

- USS Templar.

Ambassador Class

 * 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.


 * Length: 526 meters
 * Classification: Heavy Cruiser/Multifuncional ship
 * Crew complement: 700

Later on in 04 AQF, during the last week of the 12th month Rambo Nation official launched the Ambassador Class V2 into active service, a top of the line and modern ship only rivaled by the Galaxy Class and the Wells Class. As the Ambassador class recieved a multifuncional designation their were various variants of the Ambassador Class into service. As such the Ambassador Class V2 can be used for three differant roles:
 * Hospital ships, with multiply sickbays and medical equipments.
 * Heavy cruiser, the standard modification for the Ambassador Class.
 * Scientific ships, with multiply scientific rooms, special sensor array equipment and flora rooms.

The Ambassador Class V2 is capable of Warp 9.8, is equipped with photon and quamtem torpedoes. She is also able to fire both red and blue phasers and has the most up to date shieldgenerators.

Notable ships:

- USS Adelphi. (destroyed)

- USS Adelphi II

- USS Ambassador.

- USS Aurora.

- USS Ayers.

- USS Cybele. (medical variant)

- USS Delphin (scientific variant).

- USS Enterprise-C.

- USS Excalibur.

- USS Gandhi.

- USS Thelian. (scientific variant)

- USS Yamaguchi.

- USS Zhukov.

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 (retired)
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:

- USS Apollo.

- USS Armstrong.

- USS Endavour Pride.

- USS Hauler.

- USS Transporter.

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

During the sixth month of the year 04 AQF the Bonaventura Class was relaunched into active combat service. With the ongoing Great Cyrannus War and other conflicts, the Bonaventura class was retaken from the wealthy and upgraded to the V2 Mk. II version. Though some would say it is a complete other and new ship. With a sleaker design and more powerful shields and phasers, the class now sees action on the battlefield again. With the new update the ship can now also fire photon torpedoes.

Notable ships:

-USS Agamemnon.

-USS Apus.

-USS Aquila.

- USS Bonaventura.

-USS Continent.

-USS Copernicus.

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

-USS Exodus.

-USS Gagarin.

- USS Tiangle.

-USS Tucana.

Cardiff Class (destroyed)

 * 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.


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

In the seventh month of the year 04 AQF the Constellation Class recieved an upgrade, the so called V2 Mk. II upgrate. With a sleaker design and advanced weaponry, the newest addition of the Constellation Class can fire the red phasers. The class was updated due to the fact the Rambo needed newer and advanced ships to combat the Grox and the Confederacy, whom were treathening the peace in the Quadrant Galaxies.

The ship has stronger shields and can still achieve warp 8.7.

Notable ships:

- USS Antietam. (destroyed during the Great Cyrannus War in 04 AQF) - USS Canopus.

- USS Cochise.

- USS Constellation.

- USS Diadem.

- USS Fading Sun. (destroyed during the Battle of Fornaeria)

- USS Hathaway. (destroyed during the Tigris War)

- USS Stargazer.

- USS Vespucci.

- USS Victory.

Constitution Class
One of the older classes in the space fleet. The Constitution was launched into action around the time of the devasting Trogg Wars (442 BQF). Although not upgraded like the Excelsior class this ship remained in use for quite some while. Mostly this ship was used for border patrol, and to warn and support the reinforcements. These ships are also called the 'cheap buckets'.
 * Length: 289 meters
 * Classification: Heavy Battle Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 430
 * Length: 289 meters
 * Classification: Heavy Battle Cruiser, or Long Range Exploration Vessel
 * Crew complement: 430

The Constitution Class V2 is the most famous ship class in Rambo Nation, the predecessor was famous in the Trogg Wars and with the V2 update she will surely play another crucial role in the coming conflicts of Rambo Nation. 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 were frequently found in the defense fleet of Captain Ramborwski, though during the Intergalactic War they were also seen in other fleets as Rambo Nation was in short of ships to use in combat.


 * Length: 289 meters
 * Classification: Heavy Battle Cruiser, or Long Range Exploration Vessel
 * Crew complement: 430

The Constitution Class V2 Mk. II is an upgraded version of the original V2 version. Though at first not planned, the recent attacks by the Confederacy in 04 AQF showed the Rambo still needed better ships, and the Constitution Class was best suited for it. With the upgraded function of firing red and blue phasers by choice the Constitution Class V2 Mk. II is now better able to combat the enemy threat. Though the Class was relaunched during the ninth month of the year 04 AQF the ships were still a bit exclusive and not that seen a lot simply due to the fact not many were in service due to the Refit Class in service.

The ship was also given a sleaker and more modern design.

Notable ships:

- USS Androcus

- USS Boone. (destroyed during the Trogg Wars)

- USS Constitution.

- USS Defiant.

- USS Eagle. (destroyed near the Galaxon Galaxy)

- USS Endeavor . (refitted)

- USS Enterprise.

- USS Exeter.

- USS Isshasshte. (destroyed during the Trogg Wars)

- USS Kearsarge.

- USS Potemkin.

- USS Proxima . (destroyed during the Trogg Wars)

- USS Quindar . (destroyed during the Trogg Wars)

- USS Republic.

- USS Salazar.

- USS Ticonderoga.

- USS Tigress. (destroyed during the Trogg Wars)

- USS Valiant (destroyed during the Intergalactic War)

Constitution Class (Refit)
Another old class in the fleet of Rambo Nation. These ships are upgraded and more powerful than the normal Constitution class. Found in smaller and older fleets at the borders of Rambo Nation's Space. They were mostly part of Captain Ramborwski's Defense Fleet in the Outer Colonies around 22 BQF till 0 BQF.
 * Length: 305 meters.
 * Classification: Heavy Battle Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 430

The Constitution classes recieved this upgrade during the Golden Age. The ships proved instrumental in the Mozel Crisis and the battles afterwards. These ships recieved better shields and weapons and are still capable of Warp 8.
 * Length: 305 meters.
 * 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.

In the second month of the year 05 AQF another variant was launched into service, the so called V2 Mk. III. This new variant was modified for long range exploration missions and recieved sleaker warp naccelles, a more powerful deflector dish and various accomodations for long range explorations (like a holographic room, movie room, astromatic center etc.). It is often called the Enterprise type.

Notable Ships:

- USS Androcus

- USS Apocalyptor.

- USS Clemenceau.

- USS Deceiver.

- USS Eagle-A.

- USS Emperador.

- USS Endeavor.

- USS Enterprise-A. (V2. Mk. III)

Curry Class (retired)

 * Length: 272 meters
 * Classification: Medium Cruiser
 * Crew complement: Unknown

These ships were launched under the Noble Alliance and are medium Cruisers. The Curry Clas are mostly found near the Central Systems, and on patrol. Another duty is the transport of Councillors and Ambassadors. During the Noble Alliance these ships saw their first action during the Mozel Crisis and were active later in the Algernon War. Even now, the ships see ongoing service in the Fleet, but with few ever produced. The class was equipped with standard weapons, shields and capable is of Warp 8.

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

- USS Curry.

- USS Drexler.

- USS Harryhausen.

- USS Simms.

- USS Sternbach.

Daedalus Class (retired)

 * Length: 105
 * Classification: Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 229

A small space ship, most used for exploration and science, or as a personal ship for the rich. An old design from the same age as the Kelvin class. Although rarely used these days in the Rambo Fleet, since the ship's fire power is fairly weak. However, after the Second Galactic War these ships were retired from active service in 01 AQF.

Notable Ships:

''- USS Deadalus. ''

''- USS Essex. ''

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

''- USS Kon-Tiki. ''

- USS Nightingale.

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)

 * Length: 120 meters
 * Classification: Battle Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 47

The first ship class in Rambo History to be designed as a pure war-ship. Small, fast and powerful, the ship is a menace for many enemies. Equipped with the best weapons and technology of her time, the class was only built for combat and battle. It was launched in response to the recent attacks of the Lizardians, Grox, Algernon and Diva Bettie Empires. They were rushed into active service and have already proven their combat skills. The ship was capable of Warp 9.9.

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

- USS Defiant.

- USS Gallant.

- USS Incessant. (destroyed during 2nd Galactic War)

- USS Saladin. (destroyed during 2nd Galactic War)

- USS Sao Paulo.

- USS Stalwart. (destroyed during 2nd Galactic War)

- USS Valiant.

Discovery Class

 * Length: 58 meters
 * Classification: Cargo Freighter
 * Crew Complement: 3-15

The Discovery class is a national ship, which doesn't fall directly under Rambo Command. The Discovery Class, designed together with the Diva Bettie Factories and Rambo Command, the ship became constructed at the Shipyards of Rowar. The class is used as cargo freighter, and is actually more effective then the two Serindia freighter counterparts, and these class can be commandeerd by any species, while the Serindia freighters cannot. Many of these class can be seen around Nertharia, transporting the weapons from and to planets and Nertharia. The class is designed to transport cargo, merchandise and trade througout the colonies in Rambo Nation territory.

The class became a common sight for independant traders or person whom could afford buying one. Though relative small, she is equipped with decent shields and 3 phaser banks.

Notable ships: - USS Adventure.

- USS Conestoga.

- USS Discovery.

- USS Explorer.

Dreadnought Class

 * Length: 2,177 meters
 * Classification:Dreadnought/Destroyer
 * Crew Complement:22,350

The Dreadnought Class is a ship class build by Rambo Nation in secret after the capture of the Burning Heretic, a Mortalitas Dreadnought. Studying the design, the Rambo modified the ship and began creating more of the class above the secret location of Lesrekta. The reasons for Rambo Nation introducing a Dreadnought like this, without war nacelles and the standard Rambo design of ships, is actually very simple. Recent enemies of the Nation have powerful ships, and the Rambo missed ships with the heavy fire power and as such they began creating the Dreadnought class.

When in fleets, she is often aided by other Rambo Nation Navy fleets, and back her up. Providing the perfect fleet, with fast and agile ships where the Rambo are known for, backed up by slower yet powerful pounding ships.

The class is equipped with a hyperdrive, thermal and rotating shields, phasers cannons, photon and quantem torpedoes.

Notable ships:

- USS Burning Heretic

- USS Invincible

- USS Prosperous

- USS Rebel One

Trivia: The Dreadnought Class, like many of Dino's larger ships are excisting out of multiply parts.

Excelsior Class

 * Length: 467 meters
 * Classification: Heavy Cruiser
 * Crew complement: 750

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.

The ship has shields, weapons of the present day, and the ships are capable of Warp 9.4.

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.

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...

Miranda Class
A smaller and old class in the space fleet, the Miranda comes from the age of the Constitution but is still very much in use and a preffered small ship. This ship class was launched after the introduction of the Constitution class. Although smaller, it's fire power can match that of a Constitution class. The ships were mostly used for patrol duties and as battle cruisers in Space Fleets. Even in the present fleets these ships are often used because of their agility. As of today, the shields and weapons are often upgraded and still sees many action against the Grox, Lizardians or Algerons. The ships are capable of Warp 8. The most common battle cruiser of Rambo Nation, the Miranda Class V2 is an active ship in many prominent fleets, they have almost the same firepower as a Constitution Class, but are smaller in size.

But, the Miranda Class can also be problem in fleets, as some classes are not agile, sometimes a Miranda Class V2 cannot use her full agility in battles, as coalisions with allied ships would not benefit Rambo Nation at all.

None the less, the Miranda Class V2 is a very succesfull class, and many will know this class as a difficult and though enemy. In the seventh month of the year 04 AQF the Miranda Class recieved an upgrade, the so called V2 Mk. II upgrade. With it she can fire photon torpedoes and red phasers. She also has stronger shields and a sleaker design.
