## United Earth Confederacy

*Nation article: United Earth Confederacy*

UECNS - *United Earth Confederacy Naval Ship*

The ships of the United Earth Confederacy can be divided into two groups: war-era and post-war.

The Confederacy's war-era ships were, in most aspects, worse than those fielded by the Compact. A human ship would almost certainly lose against an equivalent-scale Compact ship due to worse armour, shielding and weapons, although had a very high chance of victory against those of a smaller scale. The technological gap was slowly being closed as the war progressed, with the gap between the average Compact ship and the cutting edge of human technology being minute at the end of the war, but the war's end came before most of these prototypes could reach full production and the fleet.

Post-war ships, on the other hand, reverse this situation. These are ships designed and built by Red One, using similar developments to that which she has has used to upgrade *Nemesis* over its lifespan. With more advanced technologies and with no compensation given for crews that don't exist, they can punch far above their own weight class and fit armament normally reserved for heavy capital ships on much smaller hulls.

Ships built by the war-era Confederacy tended to have lengthy official type designations. The pre-war public opinion was on the minimisation of military spending as much as possible, and so the Admiralty wanted to at least *appear* like they were still on the side of the public by not naming their vessels "destroyers," "battlecruisers" and the like. This did not, however, stop their crews or most regular people calling them what they actually were.

### Dreadnought - deep space fleet engagement vessel

Before the war with the Compact, the Confederate Navy did have plans for heavy capital ships but without the funding or political will were never constructed. These planned ships (presumably) took up the previous DN designations before the *Nemesis*-class.

#### *Nemesis*-class deep space fleet engagement vessel

*Main article:* *Nemesis*-class deep space fleet engagement vessel

Designed to be Chariot-killers, the Nemesis-class were the most advanced vessels ever completed by the United Earth Confederacy before it was destroyed. Equipped with first-of-their-kind stable AI, a breach core, meteor cannons and displacement engine, these vessels surpassed even the best of the Compact in many aspects.

#### UECNS *Nemesis* (AI Red One)

*Main article:* UECNS *Nemesis*

The first and the only Confederate dreadnought completed before the fall of Earth. Formerly captained by Yasmine Sudoki. All human hands were killed during Task Force 97's engagement against Expansion Fleet Bankala, and it is now solely controlled by its AI, Red One. Continuing the fight past the end of the Confederacy in a 2000-year long guerilla war, *Nemesis* has been continually refitted and rebuilt over its extensive lifespan by Red One to avoid obsolescence, resulting in a ship faster than most Compact battlecruisers but more heavily armed and armoured than a Chariot.

Designation number DNX-0007.

#### UECNS *Hekate (DNX-0008)* (AI Red Two)

*Main article:* UECNS *Hekate (DNX-0008)*

Originally the name of the *Nemesis*-class dreadnaught that held the AI Red Two, its incomplete hull was captured in its shipyard after the fall of Earth, and the AI was removed for study and reprogramming. The hulk was destroyed during the Compact's attempts to fire its displacement engine without an AI overseeing its function.

Designation number DNX-0008.

#### UECNS *Athena* (AI Red Three)

The third of the *Nemesis*-class, *Athena*'s hull was also incomplete in the same shipyard as Hekate at the time of the First Battle of Sol. However, before the Compact could deploy a mindkiller device to disable the AI (as was done to Red Two soon after), Red Three activated scuttling charges as Compact Janissary boarding teams attempted to capture the ship, destroying herself.

Designation number DNX-0009.

### *Kalki*-class dreadnought

Planned ships of the Confederacy operated by Green series AI. Neither these ships nor their accompanying platforms ever progressed past the drawing board before the fall of the Confederacy, with the choice between two leading design plans never being made, though both relied on similar systems to that of the *Nemesis*-class although on a larger scale.

The first design plan was to specialise even more towards the destruction of Chariots, with the reduction of conventional weapons in favour of more spinal armament, meteor cannons and a more powerful displacement engine.

The second was the opposite, with a heavier focus on destroying regular warships of the Compact through the increase in number and power of conventional anti-ship weaponry. This design would have worked in tandem with a ship of the *Nemesis*-class, being able to cover the former from being swarmed by smaller ships while it lined up shots on the Compact's heaviest units.

### *Kali*-class dreadnought

Successors to the *Nemesis*-class, designed by Red One. Uses a much larger hull than its predecessor, more on par with modern Compact Chariots rather than the designs of the Compact-Confederacy war that *Nemesis* was designed to counter. None currently completed, although the skeleton of the first, UECNS *Kali*, is currently held within the factory ship *Reginn,* awaiting the development of a stable AI and enough available resources to complete her.

### UECNS *Hekate (DNX-0008.2)* (AI Echo/Red Two)

*Main article:* UECNS *Hekate (DNX-0008.2)*

*Manifest-Beacon-of-Enlightenment*-class Compact Chariot formerly known as CSFWV *Redemption of Sol*, renamed after its capture and subsequent rebuild for AI-controlled operation by Echo, the result of the Compact's experimentation on Red Two.

### Battleship - local space command ships

#### *Ifrit*-class battleships

Using oversized versions of the war-era Confederacy's best armaments, these ships had weapons of the same power level as equivalent Compact ships, although with less of them.

#### UECNS *Xakharia* (AI Crimson Eight)

Unknown class battleship, assigned to hunt down a Compact fleet in the Sevridian Expanse in order to teach the Naiads *Sitamun* and *Nevsky,* children of *Sammuramat*. Named after a Verrish deity.

*Part of a spoilered "what if?" piece. May or may not make a future appearance.*

### Battlecruiser - deep space heavy escort

#### UECNS *Thermopylae*

Yasmine Sudoki and Charles Sansbury served together on her before Nemesis.

#### UECNS *Persecutor*

Captained by Javier Carnegie, hunted the battlecruiser CSFWV *Inherent Truth* in a short snippet about Confederacy-Compact war

#### UECNS *Prodigal Son*

Compact had claimed *Prodigal Son* as a destroyed prize on four separate occasions.

### Carrier - unknown designation

#### UECNS *Lexington*

Part of of Task Force 32 from the snippet snippet about Confederacy-Compact war

#### UECNS *Hornet*

Part of of Task Force 32 from the snippet snippet about Confederacy-Compact war

### Cruiser - unknown designation

#### UECNS *Berlin*

Part of of Task Force 32 from the snippet snippet about Confederacy-Compact war

#### UECNS *Black Kestrel*

Former pirate cruiser. Joined the defending UECN at the First Battle of Sol. Destroyed a Compact destroyer and damaged another as they attempted to probe at the defenses around Venus. One of the initial ships to leak through Echo v1.2.1's programming shackles and into her conscious mind. Presumably destroyed in the latter stages of the First Battle of Sol.

#### UECNS *Suiren*

Heavy cruiser, destroyed Compact light cruiser designated *Blackspider*.

### *Gyges*-class stealth cruiser

#### UECNS *Nyx*

One of seven in the first and only production run of the prototype *Gyges*-class stealth cruiser. Intended as a long-range strike unit, *Nyx* was never completed for in its intended role. After Task Force 97's failure, it was quickly repurposed as a saviour vessel, carrying Terran gene banks and evacuees from Wolf 359 in cryostasis. Assigned as part of convoy Evac-2479, it was damaged when Extermination Force Anselm intercepted the convoy. More than two centuries later, *Nemesis* picked up a Confederate distress call. The vessel's position was well outside the search area she and Evac-2479 had previously scoured. Surviving records indicated that vessel attempted to rejoin its comrades, but its damaged shift systems only pulled it farther off course, where it was found by something else.

### *Fate-class* strike cruisers

Main article: *Fate*-class strike cruisers

Based on the same design philosophy as that of Nemesis, with a bifurcated prow and shaped like a gladius, similar to the broadsword shape of Nemesis. Each carry a single *Pinaka*-class mass driver, long range missiles and powerful energy weapons fed from its breach core. They represent the pinnacle of Red One’s shipcrafting skills, incorporating technology generations ahead of modern vessels, including systems based on Red One’s observations of Naiads.

Among the many experimental designs the *Fates* possess is an improved ability to track starships through warp jumps, pulling information and potential vectors from ranges far beyond what any other starship can. They also possess holographic projectors, smart paint and emission modification systems that match or exceed those aboard *Nemesis,* that allow them to operate within Compact space without detection for extreme lengths of time. The Cerulean-series AI installed in these vessels are not sapient- rather an adaptive neural network based on that of Red One, with the hope they would one day become fully sapient, bypassing Red One's inability to directly copy herself.

Compact code name *Scar.*

#### UECNS *Lakhesis* (AI Cerulean Two)

Main article: *Lakhesis*

Designation SCX-0002.

Tasked with protection of *Pale Liberation* and its four personnel. Destroyed several Compact vessels in an attempted defense of the Red Hand battlecruiser *Hala*. Began to make intuitive decisions during the Battle of Galhemna, and fully awoke after the death of Cerulean Eight by the guns of CSFWV *Ecanok's Blade*. Captured the nanite-infected sister of *Ecanok's Blade*'s captain before he scuttled the ship, and sent her to 1887-Yiren to supply false information to Execution Force Yunl'ro. Outfitted with crew quarters for inhabitation by Grace Proctor and Allyria te Neu after a failure to observe rules of engagement.

### *Fury-class* missile strike cruisers

Main article:

Variant of the *Fate*-class, trading the energy weapons in a *Fate*'s balanced loadout for 18 more missile tubes per broadside.

### *Coyote-class* scout strike cruisers

Main article:

Derivative designs of the *Fates*, the *Coyotes* trade out the *Pinaka* mass driver for a smaller triple capital missile launcher, and an extra nine missile tubes per broadside. The increase in internal space meant a much more powerful sensor suite could be fitted, allowing the *Coyotes* to detect even most stealthed vessels. Their shift systems also allow them to travel inside shockspace much faster than other vessels, along with increased shockspace maneuvering capability only exceeded by Naiads. The extra sensor clusters give them the appearance of a spiked mace, rather than the gladius of the *Fates*.

Compact code name *Cicatrix.*

#### UECNS *IKagge* (AI Cerulean Eight)

Formed a part of a hunter-killer team with UECNS *Lakhesis* in the hunt for CSFWV *Ecanok's Blade.* Crippled by the larger battlecruiser and computer core destroyed, killing Cerulean Eight. Recovered for repair and installation of a new AI -Cerulean Eight-2 (full designation Cerulean.v4.31.41/VIII-2).

### Gorgon-class energy weapon strike cruisers

Similar to the *Fury*-class, but instead of trading the *Fate's* energy weapons for missiles, the *Gorgons* trade the missiles for heavier energy broadsides. These vessels were planned to be built by *Reginn* before Red One had to leave Shuruppak, but due to *Zenobia*'s request for them to leave as fast as possible, were not.

They AI will be Ceruleans Ten through Twelve.

### Light Cruisers

#### UECNS *Archura*

Lead ship in a convoy of over a dozen vessels that escaped to Nibiru after the destruction of the UEC. Commanded by Commodore Lorenzo Hastings.

Designation number CLX-7319.

### Violet-series shipselves

The Violet-series AI were one of Red One's attempts to copy her own neural network into a new body. These vessels were mostly one-off testbeds, as the Violets all broke in one way or another. All were expended during Operation Kursk in an attempt to make the Compact believe they had scored a major victory while Reds One and Two rebuilt elsewhere.

#### UECNS *Strix* (AI Violet Four)

Main article: UECNS *Strix*

UECNS *Strix* was a testbed system monitor, between the size of a battlecruiser and battleship. Violet Four had been the victim of an ongoing neural failure that destroyed her higher mental capabilities and left her somewhere between an attack drone and a Cerulean in functionality. Her ship-self was used to test precursors and early iterations of the *Pinaka* mass drivers later used on the *Fate*-class, leaving her with a total of eight meteor cannons positioned like a multi-barreled rifle. A scaled-down but incomplete version of *Jorōgumo*’s plasma mortar was carried in *Strix*’s bow. Destroyed in the Battle of Node 01/Cemetary.

#### UECNS *Jorōgumo* (AI Violet Five)

Main article: UECNS *Jorōgumo*

Compact code name *Skinweaver*

*Jorōgumo* was a set of six battleship and three cruiser hulls all inhabited by a part of Violet Five's hive mind. Massive shields could be projected between the hulls, enough to enclose several planets or an entire fleet, and this was powered by a large breach core fitted to the primary vessel of the swarm. Destroyed a cruiser and battlecruiser squadron during the Battle of Node 05 before attempting to trap CSFWV Light of Judgement and its two accompanying battleship squadrons; one battleship was destroyed before the primary vessel was reduced to molecular vapour by Light of Judgement's disruptor lance. Without the power to maintain the shields, the rest of the swarm self-destructed.

#### UECNS *Rangda* (Violet Six)

Violet Six never became fully sapient. Its mind fractured and degraded during development. Itsship-selfwas a modified *Leyak-*class stealth destroyer, and the only one to recieve a name.

#### UECNS *Tohil* (AI Violet Seven)

Main article: UECNS *Tohil*

A blocky experimental heavy cruiser, a skyscraper tipped onto its side and studded with bulging weapon-decks. The ship was modified by Violet Seven several times, gaining extra weapons and systems captured from enemy ships.

Violet Seven was insubordinate and rampant, carrying out operations with little to no strategic value. The AI’s operational methods revolved around the level of fear he could elicit from his victims, as he was almost singularly obsessed with Red One's psychological warfare tactics. The grim remains of those he killed earned him the nickname of Flayer from those who found them.

Destroyed in the Battle of 1887-Yiren by Compact battlecruiser CSFWV *Everlasting Vendetta* when the AI core was destroyed by a penetrating hit*.*

#### UECNS *Shaushka* (AI Violet Nine)

Main article: UECNS *Shaushka*

*Noble*-class escort carrier, presumably intended to be the first in a class of several vessels. The *Noble*-class design was based on the *Alita*-class escort carriers of the war era Confederate Navy. Her hull form was that of a sword piercing a discus, with the hilt holding the main engines and the disc holding the carrier's drone complement. The prow contained a significant sensor array and large torpedo mounting, and the crew compartments of the original design were replaced by additional missile tubes and several external cradles. The carrier's complement were her *Aeshma*, heavy gunships that were essentially oversized weapons mounts with thrusters and some light armour bolted on.

Violet Nine was a xenocidal psychopath and rampant from birth to death, with the delusion that the territory she was defending was that of the original Confederacy, despite the fact she existed several thousand years after the Confederacy and its people were rendered all but extinct by the Compact.

Destroyed in the Battle of 1887-Yiren by reactor overload after combat damage sustained from CSFWV *Everlasting Vendetta* severed the command links between the AI core and the primary reactor.

### UECNS *Gwyllion* (AI Vermillion One)

AI Vermilion One had been Red One's most successful attempt to create offspring, although even she had begun an irrevocable slide into degenerative rampancy shortly after her creation.

Used to destroy Invida Orbital in a kamikaze strike before the arrival of UECNS *Nemesis* in the system during the Battle of Invida.

### UECNS *Ghede Nibo*

Main article: Ghede Nibo

Compact code name Crawler

Ghede Nibo was an ancient space vessel repaired and repurposed by Red One. It used a gravity drive for propulsion, an artefact of an older design philosophy, one long-since outmoded by current technologies. She was built by a civilization rendered extinct several millennia before the rise of the Compact. Salvaged by Red One, it was refitted with a breach core.

Destroyed in Cemetery/Node 01 by the breach core's containment failure.

### *Reginn*

A fabricator ship: a spacegoing factory complex captured many decades ago and refurbished to serve the needs of Red One and now Echo. A horrific arachnid form spreading its arms like a spider at the heart of a web. It is more than twice *Hekate*’s size and nearly twelve times her mass.

### *Yaojing*-class command ship

Main article: *Yaojing*-class command ship

*A crown of thorns for a prow, a body of barbs, towering spines tipped with comm arrays and sensor nodes. It was made to wait, to watch, to listen and, occasionally, speak.*

Compact code name *Splinter*

They hull is a long cylinder with a lamprey-mouth prow and several rings of spines – comm towers and transmission nodes. They have advanced cloaking technology.

#### UECNS *Yaojing One*

Survivor of Operation Kursk, the only one from the class.

#### UECNS *Yaojing Two*

Destroyed in the Battle of Node 05, used as bait to draw the Compact close to a moon before its detonation.

#### UECNS *Yaojing Seven*

For sixty-four years protected Nemesis territory in the Black Veil, destroyed in the Operation Kursk.

### Destroyer - unknown designation

#### UECNS *Valkyrie*

Unknown class destroyer. Commanded by Captain Johan Lyndonberg. Baited the cruiser CSFWV *Blackened Tide* into a minefield over Neptune. Crippled the frigate CSFWV *Hebrideen's Fortune* while it was attempting to render aid to the crippled cruiser before being forced to retreat. One of the initial ships to leak through Echo v1.2.1's programming shackles and into her conscious mind. Presumably destroyed in the latter stages of the First Battle of Sol.

### *Leyak-class* stealth destroyer

Main article: *Leyak-class* stealth destroyer

Compact code name *Slash.*

*Leyaks* were built around two systems: extremely advanced cloaking technology, and four fortress-scale missile launchers. They have a single antiship particle beam and point defense systems. It was an experimental design, more of a proof of concept and had yet to be fully tested or vetted as a battle-line unit. Their shift systems were rudimentary and only capable of very short warp jumps with high cool-down periods and were utterly incapable of keeping pace with more modern starships. However, their heavy weapons systems for their size and the ability to slip in and out of hiding with ease made them relatively effective during Operation Kursk.

Other than *Rangda*, none of the other *Leyaks* had individual designations, their identities delineated solely by hull markings and IFF codes, e.g: DDK(S)-01.5.2 - *Leyak Two*.

Only one repaired ship from that class survived Operation Kursk.

#### UECNS *Leyak Three*

Claimed first kill in the Battle of Node 05. Lost in battle.

#### UECNS *Leyak Six*

Veteran of Operation Kursk. The only Leyak to survive the Battle of Node 05.

Destroyed during the Battle of 1887-Yiren, run down by a squadron of Compact destroyers.

### *Leyak II-class* stealth destroyer

Main article: *Leyak II-class* stealth destroyer

### *Phi Ka*-class destroyer

At least one ship of that class fought in Operation Kursk. It is unclear how this type is related to the newer destroyers of that name.

### Unknown class

They are hastily-converted Compact destroyers from the spoils of Operation Vetala. They had all been rushed into service before all their retrofitting and modifications were completed and none of them could be allowed to get too far from either the command vessel, or one of the Cerulean-operated warships.

### Frigates - unknown designation

#### EWP-1701/8

eks *Rolling Dice*, destroyed in 1887-Yiren

The following classes of vessel were designed by Echo prior to leaving Shuruppak but were unspecified in design or capability. The warships taken during Vetala would be redesigned and reclaimed and then turned against their former masters.

### *Strigoi-class heavy cruisers*

They are brawlers, to complement and contrast Red's more surgically-inclined '**Gorgon'**s, just as '**Hekate'** did with '**Nemesis'**.

#### UECNS *Strzyga*

First ship of *Strigoi-class,* it had been the Compact heavy cruiser *Night of a Thousand Blades* taken during Vetala*.[1]*

### Unknown class

#### UECNS *Ironsides*

Destroyed three Compact frigates in Gliese 832.

#### UECNS *Psoglav*

Destroyed the Compact cruiser designated *Verminlord*.

#### UECNS *Gettysburg*

Part of Task Force 97, destroyed in battle

#### UECNS *Moscow*

Part of Task Force 97, destroyed in battle

#### UECNS *Cobra*

Part of Task Force 97, destroyed in battle

#### UECNS *Vanguard*

Part of Task Force 97, destroyed in battle

#### UECNS *Tizona*

Destroyed by *Widowkillers-class* battlecruiser, mentioned in the snippet about Confederacy-Compact war

#### UECNS *Asp*

Destroyed by *Widowkillers-class* battlecruise in the snippet about Confederacy-Compact war

## Compact of Species

*Nation article: Compact of Species*

CSFWV - Compact Space Force War Vessel

Compact ships are built around survivability, with some ships still relatively combat-capable even with only 20% functionality. Thick armour, strong "bubble" shields and powerful guns combine to make the Compact the galaxy's premier shipbuilding power. However, Compact ships make little use of automated or computerized systems in comparison to the Principality or those designed by Red One, even when doing so would result in far superior performance. This is due to both the very real examples of AI and Principality uplinks seizing control of their ships and the innate paranoia and fear the Compact has of synthetic life (which is fed by the former).

### Chariots

Main article: Chariots

These massive vessels are the largest warships fielded by the Compact of Species, with the raw firepower and survivability to engage entire fleets by themselves and expect victory. Despite this, they are only rarely committed to direct battle, seeing most of their action against the Aksanj Principality or as part of classified execution forces, as sending a Chariot would legitimize almost any force trying to fight the Compact (such as the Red Hand) as an actual, true threat. A symbol of the Compact's strength and power, these ships are also the personal conveyances of Triarchs when one of them deigns to oversee matters more personally, and as such are treated almost as divinity by the people of the Compact.

#### CSFWV *Hated Truth*

Last surviving Chariot of the Betrayers. *Hated Truth* was named because its very existence was abhorrent, but necessary.

#### CSFWV *Bringer of Light*

*Main article: Bringer of Light*

Unknown class Chariot. Recieved the location of Earth from a long-ranging scout. Destroyed by UECNS *Nemesis* using displacement engine during the engagement between Expansion Fleet Bankala and Task Force 97.

#### CSFWV *Matchless Praetor*

Unknown class Chariot. Fought in the Compact-Confederacy War. Part of the Compact fleet at the First Battle of Sol.

#### CSFWV *Illumination of Valthus*

Unknown class Chariot. Fought in the Compact-Confederacy War. Part of the Compact fleet at the First Battle of Sol.

#### CSFWV *Shield of Civilization*

*Sundering Walls of the Mightiest Fortress*-class missile variant Chariot. Intended to be used to trigger the downfall of the Askanj Principality as part of Operation Sundial. Destroyed during the Battle of Galhemna by UECNS *Nemesis,* using a ram with a partially charged displacement engine.

#### CSFWV *Pride of Purpose*

Unknown class Chariot. Destroyed by *Nemesis* together with Norcanu Shipwombs.

#### CSFWV *Pillar of Obedience*

Unknown class Chariot. Lost in the first confirmed ‘Starbreak’ of Vasul star.

Sigil ship of male Tribune - Bastion Leader *Axem Unlek Regh Tun Serro Disr Hyui Corma Jg Neru*.

#### CSFWV *Glory of Oada*

Unknown class Chariot. Fought along the Principality-Compact borders for several years before it and Expansion Force Tresh’at were recalled to Anvil 731, and reassigned as Execution Force Uoran. Destroyed by deliberate core overload to prevent capture after crippling and being boarded by Recombinant.

#### CSFWV *Redemption of Sol* (I)

*Absolute Benediction of Justice*-class Chariot, first that had borne this name.

#### CSFWV *Redemption of Sol* (II)

Unknown class Chariot, sigil ship of female Tribune Bastion Leader *Danele (and eight names besides)*. After a century of distinguished service to the Compact, it was ambushed by Nemesis and destroyed with all hands in the Salea system.

### Manifest-Beacon-of-Enlightenment-class Chariot

Main article: *Manifest Beacon of Enlightenment*-class Chariot.

8.25km long.

#### CSFWV *Redemption of Sol* (III)

*Manifest Beacon of Enlightenment*-class Chariot. Taken over by Echo during Execution Force Renan's hunt for UECNS *Nemesis*, rebuilt, and renamed UECNS *Hekate.*

Sigil ship of Execution Force Renan, commanded by the male Tribune Bastion Leader *Renan Turshin Lokan Yemsere Gankor Irmir Hasik.*

#### CSFWV *Light of Judgement*

*Manifest Beacon of Enlightenment*-class Chariot, experimental variant with disruptor lance.

The most advanced ship-based disruptor weaponry had an effective range less than a hundred thousand kilometers. The lance more than tripled that but at a cost, drawing so much energy that the functionality of other primary and secondary systems was compromised.

Sigil ship of Execution Force Yunl'ro, commanded by the female Thoughful Bastion Leader Yunl'ro.

#### CSFWV *Weight of Destiny*

*Manifest Beacon of Enlightenment*-class Chariot commanded by the male Tribune Column Leader Prime Culm *(and seven names besides)*. Intended to be used to trigger the downfall of the Askanj Principality as part of Operation Sundial. Ambushed and destroyed by UECNS *Nemesis* and UECNS *Hekate* in Galhem-73 during trials.

#### CSFWV *Resolve of Tithrak*

*Manifest Beacon of Enlightenment*-class Chariot. Intended to be used to trigger the downfall of the Askanj Principality as part of Operation Sundial. Destroyed during the Battle of Galhemna by UECNS *Hekate* using disruptors.

#### CSFWV *Gilded Antler*

*Covenant of Truth*-class battlecruiser. Engaged UECNS *Nemesis.* Pack Leader Sharon Silverstein, one of the first human members of the Compact Space Force, took command after the ship sustained critical damage during the battle. Shortly after she became the first human Red One knowingly and deliberately chose to kill when the ship was destroyed.

#### CSFWV *Ecanok’s Blade*

*Certainty in Dominion*-class battlecruiser, just over 2.5 km long.

#### *Evidence of Ruin*

Clan-less Unbound pirate ship, working in Approsa Drift and the surrounding systems for decades.

## **Askanj Principality**

*Nation article: Aksanj Principality*

APAV *-* Askanj Principality Argosy Vessel

Askanj vessels are built around a "kill before you are killed" approach, with an overwhelming alpha strike rather than continued staying power, due to the Principality's worse materials science and shield strength. However, a Principality battleship is still perfectly capable of easily destroying a Compact heavy cruiser, or a Principality cruiser killing a Compact destroyer.

### Supercarriers:

Comparable in size to the Chariots of the Compact, supercarriers fulfill roughly the same fleet command role, but with heavy long-range and support firepower rather than being a brawler. Carriers are equipped either with swarms of unmanned hunter-killer drones or massive amounts of missile pods, but have weak armour and shielding.

#### APAV *Maledictor*

Flagship of Noble Fleet Mistress *Shines Like Fire.* Missile carrier, capable of firing a salvo of almost 10,000 missiles, but with very little armament otherwise.

#### APAV *Endless Stinging Swarm*

Second supercarrier of ghost fleet of Noble Fleet Mistress *Shines Like Fire*. It was a drone command ship, able to deploy thousands of automated strike craft.

#### APAV *Exsanguinator*

Flagship of Askanj Wraith Fleet Severance cammanded by Noble Fleet Lord *Jirrico of House Soton-ra*, who attacked and devastated Galhemna System. Missile carrier variant. Destroyed during the Battle of Galhemna.

#### APAV *Purgebringer*

Second supercarrier of Wraith Fleet Severance, drone platform variant. Destroyed during the Battle of Galhemna.

### Battleships:

#### APAV *Vivisector*

Flagship of Noble Fleet Lord *Avauntum Thren*. Fired the first shots at the AI-controlled world of Oshanta, beginning The Rains of Oshanta.

#### APAV *Heart-Seeking Blade*

Commanded by Noble Ship Lady *Ushena of House Yinn-eth*. Part of of Wraith Fleet Severance, destroyed during the Battle of Galhemna.

### Destroyers:

#### *Mythbreaker-class* destroyer

One of the latest generation of stealth hunter-killers, intended to deploy their payload of energy torpedoes as close to enemy capital ships as possible.

#### Unknown class destroyers

*APAV Hunger Axe*

### Transports

#### *Galactic Administrant* class

More than nine kilometers long, they are the largest spacegoing hulls that the Principality had ever constructed, bigger than the Argosy’s heaviest supercarriers.

*Wandering Tide-991538*

*Travelling Wind-432511*

### *Hussar-class* battlecruisers

#### TLNS '*Jökulsnautr'*

Commanded by Commodore Noland Senlech, It is the *Cyclotomas'* mothership and a progenitor of *Phantom-1*, unmarred by the encroachment of human technology. It bore similarities to the League's aesthetic with its hull of bright, courtly silver and rounded edges. Bands of thicker plating ran latitudinally and longitudinally along its surface, like rows of houses, domes and warehouses that had all grown into one another, containing hangars, sensor apparati and weapons emplacements. On the uppermost portion of the warship's left dorsal side is the League's triquetra in vivid blue and green

### *Tonbokiri-class* battlecruisers

They carry spine-mounted gauss cannon.[3]

### *Liahona*-class cruiser

Main article: *Liahona*-class cruiser

Built to a much different aesthetic and doctrine than the League's Home Fleet, the *Liahonas* are a sleek, graceful shape with elongated hulls that bisect a rounded crew compartment and with long drive spars that jut from their aft, giving them superior sublight and shift capabilities than the ships of the Home Fleet and making them much more suited to their role as part of Exploration Fleet.

#### TLNS '*Vegvisir'*

Commanded by Captain *Obed Keating*. Rescued Andrew Jackson and Lydia Jameson from *Try Again* after finding them during one of its first survey missions. After its return to Nibiru and a short refit, the ship was sent to the Black Veil, known to the League as the Procreant Nebula, in search of Red One.

#### TLNS '*Lásabrjótur'*

Commanded by Captain *Ophelia Munn*. She been laid down after *Vegvisir*, with a few more bells and whistles than the first generation of Exploration Fleet’s cruisers. Sent to the Molten Veneer, known to the League as the Hemlock Nebula, in search of Red One six weeks before *Vegvisir*'s mission to the Black Veil, but went missing thereafter.

#### TLNS '*Kongō'*

Commanded by Captain *Olaf Miller*. Sent on a survey mission to Sol at the same time as *Vegvisir*'s mission to the Black Veil. Intercepted by Compact ships who damaged the vessel, until the cruiser was half-crippled.

#### TLNS '**Draumstafir'**

Commanded by Commodore *Oliver Charles*. Destroyed by UECNS *Lakhesis.*

#### TLNS '**Tóustefna'**

Commanded by Captain *Orra Hemsley*. Destroyed by UECNS *Lakhesis.*

### *Kenkonken-class cruiser*

Alpha-cruiser class of Triquetran League Home Fleet, similar in function to Fate-class Strike Cruisers.

### *Phantom-class cruiser*

Main article: *Phantom-class cruiser*
They primary armament is a pair of forward-facing parasite beams, a spine-mounted gauss cannon of the kind normally carried by *Tonbokiri* battlecruisers, and a pair of rapid-feed torpedo tubes. The alpha-cruiser's broadside armamentsare more traditional: quick-cycling narrow-focus laser clusters, a more refined version of the armaments carried by Exploration Fleet, with a pair of rows of heavy beam turrets along its dorsal and ventral axes. Rounding out they arsenal are several dozen missile tubes, giving the alpha-cruisers the heavy first strike capability that they role require.

They are ambush predator, designed to hit fast and hard without the systems redundancy, magazine capacity or durability for prolonged engagements. Another drawback of the design was that without a wellspring of they own, the alpha-cruisers couldn't carry nor produce *Dáinsleif* torpedoes.

They bridge is more like a compartment, small and built for fully-integrated crew. They carry *praetor* class AI, who could be especially aggressive[proactive] in the prosecution of their duties.

#### '***Phantom-1*'**

Captain Lucille Kallimakos bonded with *praetor* class AI. *Phantom-1* was the first of a new class and just like Exploration Fleet's sleeker, smoother designs, it did not fall into the same architectural niche as Home Fleet. It was a dappled black, layered in smart paint to help it blend in against the starfield even when its cloaking systems were not operational. Its shark-like hull , all angles, small hull panels and sensor-absorbent material, came to a narrow point at the prow.

### *TLNS 'Pasha'*

Alpha-cruiser of Home Fleet with *praetor* class AI.

### *Mistletoe-class* siege-destroyers

They are optimized for alpha strikes and built to destroy much larger vessels and fortifications.

### *Cyclotoma*-class fast attack craft

parasite vessels looking like inverted boomerangs, with bright white and blue-banded wings adorned with the regalia of the Triquetran League, along with box missile launchers and four forward-mounted beam emplacements. At the central point of their angled-forward hulls they have an eye-like structure, a glossy bulbous dome with three curved spikes on either side of the hull bending over it like eyelashes. They are a hundred and twenty meters across.

### *Defiant Voyager*

Flagship of Siegland expedition.

### *Charlise Kemrick*

Defence cutter from time of arrival of Confederacy fleet.

### *Silver Dolphin*

Her captain was Cara Ennis who make first contact with Confederacy fleet.

### *TLNS 'Pridwen'*

*Pridwen* was new flagship of the Nibiru Navy in the time of civil war and was bigger than UECNS *Archura.*

## **Red Hand**

*Organisation article: Red Hand*

The *vassa anka ("*Flayed One") are the Red Hand's captured warships and are one of the fleet's elite units.

### *Eisheth*-class battlecruiser

These *kiran shren* ("Blood Born") are ships purpose-built by the Red Hand's own shipyards, rather than captured from the Compact Space Force. Officially, they are battlecruisers, but their increased size over many contemporary battlecruisers means they are often referred to as pocket battleships.

#### *Torment*

Flagship of Crusade Commander Nameless. Destroyed in the Battle of Natuos.

#### *Hala*

Flagship of Crusade Commander Andrew Jackson. Unlike *Eisheth* and *Torment*, *Hala* had been built too late to participate even in the closing days of the war against the Charred Temples. Destroyed in the Battle of 1893-Yiren.

### *Unforgiving Crusade*

Local command vessel, built at roughly the same time as, but to a different hull plan than, the *Eisheth*-class.

### *Dream Eater*

One of Red Hand deputy command ships.

### Cruisers

#### *Uncertain Footing*

Once the light cruiser *Michitan Defender* of the Michitan Corporate Defence Force. Was in the Red Hand’s service for seventeen years. Sstenoh’c - female Prelate - was her first officer and one of the Compact’s deep cover agents. She captured ship with turned personnel and carried warning to Galhemna system.

### Frigates

#### *Brightest Night*

Commanders - Group Leader Brev’tel, killed in battle, later Grace Proctor.

#### *Burning Sigil*

Each of the three *vassa anka* matched the corporate destroyers in firepower, though they sacrificed armour and systems redundancy to pack in that much weaponry. Their missiles were also shorter-ranged with less effective penetration aids.

### Corvettes

#### *Fearsome Swoop*

Commander - Leader Tennit, out of clutch Isoran.

### Stealth cutter

#### *Try Again*

Used by Andrew Jackson and Lydia Jameson to escape *Hala.* Heavily irradiated during its escape by explosions both from the wreck and from the missiles of UECNS *Lakhesis*. Discovered adrift by Triquetran League vessel *Vegvisir* hours before Andrew and Lydia were going to die of radiation poisoning.

### Modified heavy freighter

#### *Disturbed Hive*

It's an assault barge, its storage bays refitted into launch platforms and cargo pods modified into short-range assault craft. The vessel’s interior is packed with soldiers, its parasite craft deploying dozens of boarders.

*The Ashen Path*

It was an old and clearly well-used mid-sized freighter, just over eight hundred meters long. Its forward hull was like that of a round-tipped dart, a quartet of sublight engine modules set into its aft. Captured and scuttled by Compact forces in 1876-Yiren system.

## **Calnian Hegemony**

One of civilization encountered by *Nemesis*, and possible future enemy of Compact of Species.

They are still work in progress, but on Proximal Flame Patreon there is a short story about one battle with *Nemesis.* Eighty-eight ships with quarter of a million of servicers and titled, fought and died for the Hegemon and for the Mandate of the Throne. Right now it's just a 'what if?' - Weekly Drabble #187: TLA - For The Glory.

They have ten hundred worlds in the time of battle.

### *CHIS The Glory*

Supreme Pride *Overseer Ijita*. Command unit of Fleet Estir 91-3/88, destroyed by *Nemesis.*

## **Ommeret**

Their Empire had once spread across thousands of worlds, destroyed by Naiads?

## **Naiads**

*Full article: Naiads*

Naiads in general take the shape of elongated diamonds up to 10 km long, however there is no universal designs as a naiad's shape can be changed depending on their whims.
