GALLIN HEAVY FIGHTER

The Gallin Heavy Fighter was designed alongside the Trelin-class fighter, meant to operate in a heavy fighter support role. It’s twin missile batteries allow it to perform strafing runs of enemy capital ships, while also capable of engaging in fighter-to-fighter combat with its two powerful AM Cannons. Not as maneuverable as the Trelin-class fighter, it none-the-less is a strong new addition to the Calithran Federation's fleet.

TRELIN CLASS FIGHTER

The Trelin-class fighter was created as a replacement for the aging Vips-class fighter. Equipped with stronger weapons than the Vips, its weakness is in the decreased shielding. However, it can hold its own in a fight with most other ships, and in groups can become quite dangerous. Considerations are underway on how to best upgrade the shielding without sacrificing it’s speed and agility. The Trelin-class fighter is capable of both space flight and atmospheric flight, allowing for mutli-purpose assignments. It is also cheaper than its predecessor, due to armoring only the cockpit of the fighter, using weaker hull plating on there rest of the ship.

USF TELRAN

Due to an increase in fighter raids against Calthrian holdings, the Telran-class Corvette was rushed through the design board and pressed into service immediately. Outfitted with a ridiculously large number of turrets for a ship its size, it has one role only – that of anti-fighter defense on outposts and battle groups. Quick and very maneuverable, it is able to circle around larger capital ships, providing them with powerful defense against swarms of enemy fighters. It is vulnerable to enemy capital ships, however, and is often seen in the company of frigates and destroyers. Due to the compact design, however, the Telran-class suffers from extremely short range, carrying very little space for extended tours of duty. This forces all Telran-class corvettes to operate from a home-base, whether that be a planet, starbase, or carrier fleet.

USF KELLEN

The Kellen-class Destroyer was the product of a long search for a balanced capital ship, able to combat both larger capital ships as well as smaller capital ships and fighters. Essentially a long brick of guns, it is extremely quick for a ship its size, making it difficult for other capital ships to compete with and fighter ships to keep up with. Defended by moderate shielding, it can take a number of hits before withdrawing from an engagement. Often seen hunting in groups, the Kellen-class Destroyer, while not pretty, is one of the more beloved ships in the Calthrian Federation Navy.

USF CATHLITH

The Cathlith-class frigate was imagined to be a capital-ship killer, and so was armed with one extremely powerful bow cannon. It’s ability to maneuver fairly quickly for a ship its size allows it to harass enemy capital ships, quickly depleting their shield strength. A single missile battery allows for moderate damage once shields have been drained, and its multiple cannons are able to either assist in assaulting its current target or provide moderate defense against other capital ships. It is more vulnerable to fighters than desired, as a result of it being so narrowly focused, and requires either a fighter escort or pairing with a Telran-class corvette.

VIPS-CLASS FIGHTER

The Vips-class fighter is an older fighter, designed at the same time as the Aeterna-class Battleship was imagined. Meant as an escort fighter, its two cannons are able to do only minor damage to opposing fighters. The Vips-class fighter’s strength comes from operating in groups to swarm an enemy ship, and with their good maneuverability, they can quickly dart around any battlefield, providing support where necessary. Few still remain in service as they are being phased out in favor of the new Trelin-class Fighter.

USF AETERNA

The USF Aeterna is an older-generation Battleship class of the Calthrian Federation, seeing service since before the start of the Calthrian-Meltrin war. Although she features an outdated weapons system (numerous small on-board cannons as opposed to the more modern heavy on-board cannons), she is still a fearsome opponent. Even more heavily shielded than the new Telithra-class Battlecruiser, the Aeterna can take massive amounts of punishment before succumbing to enemy fire. The Aeterna was conceptualized as the center of any fleet combat, absorbing the majority of enemy fire while striking back at enemy capital ships with impunity. The Aeterna’s most obvious weakness is a significant lack of anti-fighter weaponry, sporting only 12 tri-barreled anti-fighter cannons, an older design than those currently seeing service on more modern ships. To make up for this weakness, the Aeterna was outfitted with two hanger bays housing 10 Vips-class fighters each. Although old, the USF Aeterna is most definitely one of the Calthrian Federation’s most dangerous ships.
