A-Series Spacecraft

A-Series (Assault Series) is a line of Seafian spaceships designed for combat use. These ships range from small to large, and all have heavy firepower. They were typically used for attacks on human settlements, ships or fleets, but were also used in large battles as a main driving force.

**A-1 Light Fighter**

These are small and agile 1-seat fighter craft that were commonly used throughout the First Interstellar War. They measure 12 metres in length, and have small but highly maneuverable rear engines, letting them zip around tightly packed battlefields with ease. The A-1 could reach a top speed of 900km/h in an Earth-like atmosphere. It has wing-mounted rapid fire guns.

**A-2 Advanced Fighter**

This is the newer and stronger version of the A-1, and measures 12.5 metres in length. While not as nimble as its older brother, the A-2 was faster, more heavily armoured, and had more weapons which are controlled by a second pilot. It could reach a speed of Mach 1 in an Earth-like atmosphere. The fighter had 2 wing-mounted cannons, as well as front and rear rapid fire guns.

**A-3 Bomber**

This is a small 2 person fighter, but unlike the A-1 and A-2, it was mainly designed for bombing missions. It was able to reach very quick acceleration for short periods of time to make sure it could leave its target before detonations. It was able to deal large blows to even the most heavily armoured ships, but did not perform well in fighter combat. The weapons were- a light gun at the front of the ship, two torpedo launchers and a bomb bay that could carry up to 6 bombs.

**A-4 Assault Ship**

The A-4 was a strong and nimble ship used for all sorts of attacks. It is 50 metres long, and has a crew capacity of 25. It has four front-mounted cannons and one at the rear, as well as secret torpedo bays and rapid fire guns at the top and bottom. The ship was discontinued in 2441 in favour of the Mark II.

**A-5 Assault Ship Mk. II**

This is the newer and more refined version of the A-4. It is 34 metres long, and is designed for a crew of 8. The main differences from the A-4 are its stronger armour and faster warp. It also has more powerful cannons, but the torpedo bays were scrapped.

**A-6 Shatter Drone**

A-6s are remotely controlled fighters that are designed to attack via collisions. They have extremely high acceleration, and high speeds in atmospheres (Mach 2 in an Earth-like atmosphere). They have interchangeable front attachments, such as spikes, rounded tips, and flat surfaces. They are also designed to be able to withstand collisions and explosions, making them some of the hardest to destroy craft in the Republic's space force.

**A-7 Light Battleship**

This is the mass-produced battleship that the Interstellar Republic used. It is decently sized, has strong firepower and is relatively cheap to make. It requires a crew of 1000. The weapons include 12 cannons, 12 rapid fire turrets and torpedoes. It can also carry 10 small fighters which can quickly be deployed into battle.

**A-8 Heavy Bombardment Ship**

The A-8 is a large spacecraft that was designed to decimate any target. It has a crew of 800, of which 12 control their own torpedo cannon. It also has a bomb bay that can hold up to 20 regular bombs, 2 nuclear warheads and 8 electric charges. With these, the Republic was able to take out some of the toughest ships in mere minutes. Some major downsides were that they were very slow and bad at close-range combat. This meant they had to always be accompanied by other ships.

**A-9 Heavy Battleship**

The A-9 is an imposing battleship, at a length of 1000 metres. It has a crew of around 2000, and is used for large scale attacks. At the front of the ship are two massive laser cannons, at the rear is a proton bomb launcher, homing missiles and the sides are dotted with smaller cannons. They have small docking bays along either side, which can store small fighters. It is the largest and most powerful ship class that there are more than 1 of, and has the ability to wipe out an entire small fleet on its own.

**A-10 Annihilator**

The Annihilator is a unique, one off version of the A-9. It looks the same, although scaled up to a length of 1300 metres. It has the same cannons, missiles and bomb launcher, but the hull is lined with even more cannons and rapid fire turrets. It can hold many fighters.
