Terran Navy military ship types

The Terran Navy employs a wide variety of ships. Armadas and fleets generally have every type of ship within their ranks, whilst smaller task forces accommodate for a smaller variety of ships more appropriate for the threat in question or the mission.

The Terran Navy divides warships into three main categories: small, medium and capital. Small ships are usually considered to be anything shorter than 80m, whilst capital ships are anything longer than a kilometer. Medium ships lay in between these two designations. Ships of small size have their models called "types", whilst medium and capital ships have theirs called "classes". Ship classes are named after mythological figures, most often of Greek or Norse origin.

All ships on the list are manufactured by either Siems Shipyards or Xanadu Driveyard. Some of them are collaborations with Clarktech Corporation or TMP.

Strike craft are the only small ship type. They roughly correspond to Pre-Unification war planes of different sorts. Strike craft are always organized in squadrons. These can be deployed and effectively utilised in atmospheres unlike most other ship types. They are launched from capitalr ships and cannot engage in FTL by themselves. Strike craft types are:

* ***Hawk-type* interceptor**

* ***Albatross-type* bomber**

* ***Falcon-type* multirole fighter**

Corvettes lay somewhere between small ships and medium ships. Their nomenclature however is the same as that of medium and capital ships. Corvette classes are:

* ***Svarog-class* point defense corvette**

* ***Beowulf-class* corvette**

* ***Veles-class*** **stealth corvette**

Frigates are the smallest medium ships. Frigates generally form the bulk of most Terran fleets and armadas. Frigate classes are:

* ***Thor-class*** **main battle frigate**

* ***Loki-class* cyberwarfare frigate**

* ***Menelaus-class* missile frigate**

* ***Heimdall-class* defense frigate**

* ***Morana-class* surveillance frigate**

Destroyers are ships which fall between the medium and capital designation. They are the smallest ships which can serve as flagships to smaller task forces. This is however rarely the case. Destroyer classes include:

* ***Raijin-class* destroyer**

* ***Agamemnon-class* missile destroyer**

* ***Hades-class* heavy destroyer**

Cruisers are capital ships which are extremely durable whilst being able to dish out a capital amount of damage. Cruiser classes are:

* ***Cyclops-class* cruiser**

* ***Artemis-Class* artillery cruiser**

Dreadnoughts are a larger variant of cruisers. The Sol-class, only class of dreadnoughts in use, can hold up to 80 strike craft or around 16 squadrons, which is comparable to Uranus-class carriers. No smaller non-carrier class can carry more than 4 squadrons:

* ***Sol-class* dreadnought**

Carriers are a capital ship designation for ships which are primarily focused on command functions and carrying troops, smaller ships and other types of equipment. Carriers are the flagships of the vast majority of naval formations. Carriers are always named after the four gas giants in the Solar system. This means that the carrier class names haven't changed since the first carriers of the 2200s. They however receive numbers to signify they are not the same generation. The largest carriers eclipse any other military ship in size and capacity of any kind. Carrier classes are:

* ***Uranus-class* *VII* tactical carrier**

* ***Neptune-class* *III* fleet carrier**

* ***Saturn-class II* strategic carrier**

* ***Jupiter-class* supercarrier**
