NavyCapital Battleship:
Gustavus Adolphus The Gustavus Adolphus is the crown and jewel of The Imperial Navy, it's able to carry eight 425MM auto cannons and five 725MM artillery cannons, of which can load EMP L round and Titanium Sabot rounds, and Depleted Uranium rounds. Its armor is top grade, and is able to survive kinetic and explosive damage from other battleships and battle cruisers. It can hold it's own for a well enough amount of time without assistance from the other ships within the Imperial fleet. The Gustavus Adolphus has two hangars, which can hold fifteen Rifter class fighters.
The Hurricane is a devastating cruiser, though a downgrade from the battleship in terms of weapons, in which it can only hold six auto cannons and three artillery pieces, it's armor is still the same, in which kinetic and explosive damage is moderate upon hits. The Imperial Navy has produced twelve of these maneuverable ships, and they are still in use today. The Hurricane class battle cruiser can hold up to ten Rifter class fighters.
Cruisers: The Thorax
The Thorax is a cruiser, a versatile, moderate damage dealing type of ship. The armor of which is downgraded from the Hurricane's, so that the armor takes more damage from kinetic and explosive types. The Thorax can mount up to four auto cannons and two artillery pieces, which can deal out more than enough damage to tackle other cruisers or the smaller class ships, maybe even a destroyer class ships depending upon the development. The Imperial Navy has constructed seven of these ships, which are still in use today. The Thorax can hold up to five Rifter class fighters inside of its hangar.
The Rifter is the main fighter of The Imperial Navy, and is fast enough to maneuver around other fighters. This small ship has two 425MM auto cannons, and its armor isn't as good as the upper class ships made by the Empire , but its speed and maneuverability makes up for it when in a dog fight with enemy fighters. There are thirty in use today, all docked on the upper class vessels.
