USS Kezar Makol NCC-98756 Titan class GXC Heavy Cruiser. First of the disodium Balmorian class vessels. Named for an early Zarian space pioneer. The Titans are on the small side of Heavy, but are in the class none the less. They are comparable in all ways to any heavy cruiser class except for the crew accommodations.

Titan class ships are built with the latest advances in technology and comfort. They can carry 600 beings in comfort to the most dangerous places in the Galaxy and bring them back. The Titan class is considered a superior long range scout. They have overbuilt sensors that make the class idea for those long surveys. They have the protection and firepower to come back from less than friendly areas.

The titan class has a more traditional torpedo layout, a heavier reliance on phasers and phaser cannons. Balmorians don't like torpedoes. Torpedoes run out. Phasers do not require reloads. Three tubes, phasers everywhere, phaser cannon port and starboard, ion cannons everywhere. A ship that can do any cruiser mission and excels in the kind of knife fight the Vargr love. Therefor the Vargr respect it.


ADF Bold T-6 -- Atlas Class Tug -- A development of the Planet class cruiser. The hull is a monster tractor with enough ship to move it. These shiup are parked at various starbases in a six hours to move order. One at least accompanies any dockship.


Biter Vargr battlesruiser -- This vessel is the Vargr all over. Yes it has lots of unnecessary bits to make it look tough. Appearances are important. Don't be mistaken however. It might look over the top but the vessel is no pushover. Varger like close in "knife fights" their ships are armed accordingly.


Joyful discovery - Kober exploration cruiser -- The Kober are a race that is once again coming out. They have plenty of this big vessles and they are starting to spread out. The Kober didn't have available diSodium so they are extremely well built diLithium drives. Kover weapson concentrate on knocking you out of the fight with little damage. And they are good atit.


ACS Diversus Infucatus Equs DC-3 -- The "Equs is a blue dolphin class cruiser leveraged for really huge computers and comfort. It is Gensilan's main ride.


ADF Yesterday - Yesterday cl;ass container transport    As in "we need it yesterday".  This is a high speed cargo carrier, HSCC.  It can get a decent amount to you as fast as frankly anything can move.  So far they have been seen only in Starfleet. 

The Yesterday class carries the came engine and mid-section layout as the Mastodon, but only two container rings.  All that power dedicated to very little.


ADF Faithful CA-70 -- Kandilan class heavy cruiser -- By 2320 it was obvious in the ADF Unity class while effective was being called a cruiser in name only by the more progressive Federation Euphrates class was considered to have too may hats. Both vessels were moving down the ranks in size category that they needed a new cruiser class.

To that end the Kandilan class was developed. She has been called many things. "The first of the fish" is likely the kindest. "Winged torpedo", "the flying suppository" "the ugliest thing to come out of an Ane shipyard under its own power". It has never been called an ineffective ship.


ADF Advantage CB-29 -- Advantage class Heavy Frigate -- While the Manta was and is a magnet for controversy among the Gentlebeing set no one can argue that it is not an effective defense. With the threat of the Trantorian Empire it was decided to put the Manta back into production, but with the lessons learned in the 40 years since she was first laid down. The Advantage is externally the same ship, but very different in the inside.


ADF Amani CA-143 -- Amani class heavy cruiser -- A further development of the Dolphin class heavy cruiser built with diSodium in mind from the start.


ADF Guinea Pig -- "Nova class" engine Test bed -- Wedhat happen to the failed Nova class. One hull was refit to use as an engine test bed.

TIS Dominor -- Dominor class battleship. -- The Dominor represents a reaction to the presence of the Federation by the Trantorian Empire. Better drives,and beam weapons. Older ships are being refit to this standard.


TIS Voluntas -- Mos class Assault carrier.
This is the Trantorian planet taking machine. These vessels are big, slow and clumsy. They are cooling meat if they go out without the battleships. While they are armed they do not punch anywhere near their weight class. Their sole purpose is to carry the means to make planetary war.


USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E -- Odyssey class heavy cruiser -- Things proceed a little diffidently in Epiphany Trek. The "D" is never destroyed in an idiot plot, she served out her years and was replaced with an Odyssey class. We are not so hard of starships for dramitic effect.


ADF Africa CT-67 -- Continental class assault ship -- The Continental class assault ship is an outgrowth of the unused special mission hulls originally built for the Planet class heavy cruiser. One of them was a mobile infantry support ship. It was decided to build additional front ends and commission them permanently as Marine transport vessels. As any versatility went out the door with the specialized transport hull they were considered "less than a planet" hence the continental name. All vessels are named for continental masses. Four are located in the Core Federation four in the Far Sector. There are no plans to expand this number as the class is of limited utility.


ADF Salvor DS-01 -- Salvor class dock ship -- The Salvor class dockship is another outgrowth of the Planet class cruiser’s extra hulls. They are a seldom used class as most ships that require a dock are dragged to one. The circumstances that requires the dock to go to the ship are few and far between. As a result there are two, one in the Federation Core and one in the Far Sector. They are located at Starbase 304 at Association and Starbase 600 at Oz. They are kept at 24 hours to move notice. They do not patrol. Not a glamor posting.


OS Ribbart Shlurp -- Anura class battleship -- Hp-Oh Empire -- An encounter on the road to create "Lily pads" to the Great Orion Sphere by the USS Sigma Seven. Their ships are decidedly behind the Federation curve. Yes, many frog jokes.


To'ta'ti 4457 -- Q'oteek class cruiser -- Calad Empire -- A typical ship of the Calad Empire, recently contacted and in a close alliance with the Federation.


Protoes -- Hagin cruiser -- Hagin Empire -- The Hagin Empire is a decided bump in the lilly pad trail for ther USS Discovery. An Empire wrought with strife and pirates.

The ship is more entreating from the top with a "V" shaped hull.


SS Serendipity< -- Manta class "Adventure" cruiser -- The SS Serendipity is a custom yacht built on the Manta class hull. It is owned and operated by Jerry LaSaille.

The primary differences other than paint color are the interiors that have been fitted to reflect only the bare luxuries. As far as operational load the ship can perform the frigate mission with twice the range of a standard Advantage. It is fully armed, has space for far fewer crew and is heavily automated beyond the norm. Typical crew is one to 10 persons with two RIs and a warehouse of biomechs.

The Serendipity was first refit for disodium in 2380. It was later refit to the Advantage class standard in 2405. The former vastly increased her speed and the latter her range.
