Fiction:Clanden Admiralty/Ships

Home One
Main article: Home One Quick Facts: Home One is the pride and joy of the Clanden Admiralty. It is here that the government is based, and where most of the population resides. While it was, by design, a warship, it has seen many major modifications that made it into the major population center seen recently.
 * Class: Capital Ship
 * Crew complement: 500
 * Can accomodate: 60% of the nation
 * Length: 1800 meters
 * Width: 600 meters
 * Energy source: Matter-antimatter reaction
 * Armament: Aft, fore, port and starboard phaser banks, aft and fore torpedo tubes, energy shielding, launch and hangar bays
 * Propulsion (STL): Impulse engines
 * Propulsion (FTL): Warp Drive (warp 9)
 * Equipped with: Transporters, replicators, terraforming tools, markets, civilian quarters, multipurpose hangar bays

By no means does this mean, however, that its weapon systems were neglected. Home One was upgraded over time to host the newest defenses Clanden engineers were able to invent, buy, or steal.

Home One is a little more than a mile in length and quarter of one in breadth. It was assembled on of the Republic's outlying shipyard systems, and finished three years before the founding of the Coalition and the start of the Grox-Coalition war. It was originally armed with the latest in energy-based weaponry, fully functioning shields, launch bays able to accommodate hundreds of small craft, terraforming tools originally meant to suffocate Grox by the planet load, and a warp drive capable of projecting the thing to Warp 6. Since then, a few improvements have been made.

Bulwark Class Frigate Mk.IV
Quick Facts:
 * Class: Frigate
 * Crew complement: 40
 * Can accomodate: 15 passengers
 * Length: 600 meters
 * Width: 200 meters
 * Energy source: Matter-antimatter reaction
 * Armament: Aft and fore phaser banks, aft and fore torpedo tubes, energy shielding
 * Propulsion (STL): Impulse engines
 * Propulsion (FTL): Warp Drive (warp 9.1)
 * Equipped with: Transporters, replicators

The Bulwark Class frigate is a classic sight in any Clanden fleet. Dating back to long before the Grox Wars and the complete reliance on matter-antimatter reactions, this handy medium-sized ship has seen many a refit. Originally designed to protect the Republic's interest, its primitive laser weapons were long ago replaced by phaser arrays, its blast plating upgraded to proper energy shielding, and its guided conventional missiles replaced by photon torpedoes. It can host its own transporter, used to beam to and from the ship, and is capable of warp 9.1.

In large-scale engagements, the Bulwark is rarely left alone, but makes for a useful addition to any force, either as an escort, a patrol ship, or a ward against smaller craft and bombers in larger fleets.

Genesis Class Civilian Frigate Mk.III
Quick Facts:
 * Class: Civilian Ship
 * Crew complement: 15
 * Can accomodate: 10 passengers
 * Length: 500 meters
 * Width: 150 meters
 * Energy source: Matter-antimatter reaction
 * Armament: Fore phaser banks
 * Propulsion (STL): Impulse engines
 * Propulsion (FTL): Warp Drive (warp 9)
 * Equipped with: Advanced terraforming tools or mining tools, large cargo bays or civilian quarters

The Genesis Class frigate was designed at the end of the Grox wars as a desperate attempt by the coalition to turn back the Grox advance. However, instead of arming these little frigates with the most destructive weapons they could find, they integrated terraforming tools into the their systems. These ships composed the backbone of the desperate offensive into Grox space which marked the final days of the war. They were intended as superweapons to completely rid select planets of the Grox, as it was discovered that hospitable planets were toxic to them. The plan would have worked if more ships and their escorts had reached the planets before being destroyed.

Refit Genesis frigates serve in the Clanden Fleet as transports to harbor either civilians or materials, and are often seen hauling metals away from claimed digs.

Jaylar Genesis Class Civilian Frigate Mk.I
Quick Facts:
 * Class: Civilian Ship
 * Crew complement: 15
 * Can accomodate: 10 passengers
 * Length: 200 meters
 * Width: 80 meters
 * Energy source: Matter-antimatter reaction
 * Armament: Fore phaser banks
 * Propulsion (STL): Impulse engines
 * Propulsion (FTL): Warp Drive (warp 9)
 * Equipped with: Science lab, replicators

Genesis takes on a whole new meaning when the Grick get involved. Masterful genetic engineers, they managed to create a race of slave laborers to service them and any who might afford their services. Recently, a whole ship class was dedicated to their cloning labs.

Discovery Class Civilian Corvette Mk.I
Quick Facts:
 * Class: Civilian Ship
 * Crew complement: 15
 * Can accomodate: 10 passengers
 * Length: 200 meters
 * Width: 80 meters
 * Energy source: Matter-antimatter reaction
 * Armament: Fore phaser banks
 * Propulsion (STL): Impulse engines
 * Propulsion (FTL): Warp Drive (warp 9)
 * Equipped with: Science lab, replicators, holodeck

The Clanden hoped the name fitted the new starships that were supposedly destined to usher in a new era of Clanden scientific discoveries. The Discovery class, while similar in outward design to the Jaylar Genesis starships, are equipped to house Clanden researchers and to supply them with anything they might need within reason.
