Project COLONIAL DREAMS

Project: COLONIAL DREAMS was launched by the newly established United Nations Space Authority in the 2080s. Lasting until 2100, the project more than accomplished its task of revitalizing the colony program and setting the stage for subsequent colony projects.
===Ships and stations===
====Ships====
;Drive-class colony ships : The twenty-eight Drive-class colony ships entered service in 2189, right alongside their protectors - the Expeditious-class colonial escorts. 
;Persistent-class transports : Following the Reliable-class transports would be a tough act, but the fifty Persistent-class transports excelled under pressure, remaining in service far beyond their projected lifetime. 
;Trader-class cargo ships : The Trader-class cargo ships strengthened the lifelines from Earth to the colonies, supplying the colonists with everything Earth come provide, and bringing back a wealth of raw materials. 
;Mend-class repair ships : The first of several classes of repair ship, the Mend-class proved to be ineffective - rather than accomplishing one task well, it failed to achieve the many tasks it was originally purposed for. Of the ten ships, two were scrapped, and the rest sold to surprisingly enthusiastic buyers. 
;Useful-class tugs : The eighty tugs of the Useful-class stayed true to their name, maintaining safe navigation for project vessels and, eventually, commercial craft in years to come. 
;Dream-class research vessels : The Dream-class, eight ships in all, were designed as general research vessels, intended to experiment with numerous technologies of varying fields. 
;Greenhouse-class research vessels : Independent of the Dream-class research ships, the Greenhouse-class focused solely on the development and maintenance of dedicated hydroponics; the experiments - ultimately successful - were key in the eventual construction of agricultural facilities across the Sol System. 
====Stations====
;Venture space stations : Regional support platforms for colonial efforts, a total of eleven Venture stations were built: Venture Prime, Venture II, Venture III, Venture IV, Venture V, Venture VI, Venture VII, Venture VIII, Venture IX, Venture X, and Venture XI. The stations were based on the successful lunar stations Eclipse, Herald, and Waystation Alpha. 
===Project: COLONIAL DEFENSE===
;Expeditious-class colonial escorts (84) : While not the first human space craft to carry weapons, the Expeditious-class was the first purpose-built warship; a total of eighty-four were constructed to assist in whatever manner required by the colony ships of Project COLONIAL DREAMS. 
;Leader-class command ships (7) : More administrative that tactical command, the Leader-class utilized extensive communications equipment to stay apprised of the each colonial group. 
;Keeper-class support ships (14) : With one support ship to accompany every six escort ships, the Keeper-class dwarfed their warship companions by three hundred and thirty-five meters, carrying the munitions and provisions required to keep all six vessels well supplied for more than a year.
