Warships[]
While the merchant guilds rarely engage in warfare, both independent raiders and nations at war with the Talven Empire occasionally attack their freighters. After the democratization of the Empire in 2818, the merchant guilds rapidly modernised their military forces, although older, more elaborate warships still serve as the official flagships of many of these fleets.
Class: Pegusus-class corvette
Armament:
- Light energy canons
- Point-defense energy cannons
- Missile launchers
Defense:
- Light armor plating
- Light shielding
Description:
Borrowed from theTalven Navy, the Pegusus-class corvette acts as an anti-fighter and support ship. It is not powerful enough to cause much harm to larger ships, but is often used as a distraction. Some captains make use of the corvette's speed and maneuverability by arming their ships with mines.
Class: Fury-class battleship
Armament:
- Heavy energy cannons
- Point-defense energy cannons
- Missile launchers
- Tractor beams
Defense:
- Heavy armor plating
- Heavy shielding
Description:
Designed with an impressive armament of missile launchers, the Fury-class battleship is designed to unleash a storm of hyperspatial missiles upon any force it comes across. The ship itself is vulnerable to fighter attack, although it is rare to see one without an escort.
Notable examples:
- Aldar's Breath, commanded by Alba Cassius.
- The Indomitable, commanded by Otho Horatius.
Freighters[]
The merchant guilds maintain countless freighters, both for their own use and for shipping services in and around the Lower Sagittarius Arm. Many merchant guilds also sell these freighters to other nations.
Class: Type-85 Barge
Armament:
- Anti-meteoroid point-defense energy cannons
