CONCEPT

These Humanasol League Fleet starships are set in a fictional setting over a thousand years from the present. In that future era, at least a portion of Humanity has built a space fleet to confront some sort of military threat. They use the archaic ship classifications drawn from Earth's ancient naval tradition.

MAIN STARSHIP TYPES

Upholder of Honor Class Battleships are largest and most powerful starships built by the Humanasol League Fleet. They serve as flagships and form the core of most large task forces. They carry many smallcraft. Length: 525 meters

Fortress of Fearlessness Class Battle Cruisers are second largest capital ships serving in the fleet. They often serve as flagships and form the core of many task forces. They carry many smallcraft. Length: 415 meters

Citadel of Courage Class Heavy Cruisers are the workhorses of the fleet. They operate alone as well as part of taskforces and have proved to be excellent exploration vessels as well. They carry a modest number of smallcraft. Citadel of Courage Class Heavy Cruisers only occasionally land on planetary surfaces. Length: 300 meters

Guardian of Gallantry Class Light Cruisers are primarily used as heavy escort vessels in taskforces. They are also used as exploration vessels. They carry a modest number of smallcraft. They only occasionally landed on planetary surfaces. Length: 225 meters

Diligence of Duty Class Destroyers are the smallest capital ships in the Fleet. They serve as escort vessels for larger capital ships and heavily armed scouts. They can carry just a few smallcraft. Diligence of Duty Class Destroyers are the only capital ships that land on planetary surfaces on more than an occasional basis. Length: 150 meters

Flame of Fury Class Corvettes are not considered capital ships by the Humanasol League Fleet. They are used as light escorts, scout ships and spy vessels. Corvettes are divided into two subtypes: missile corvettes and cannon corvettes. Unlike the capital ships, They are not armed with spinal mounted particle beam projectors. Corvettes often land on planetary surfaces. Corvettes do not carry any smallcraft. Length: 95 meters

Defender of Dawn Class Fleet Tenders are the largest auxilliary vessels in the fleet. They serve as traveling repair docks and resupply stations. Length: 560 meters.

MAIN SMALLCRAFT TYPES

These three smallcraft types are carried by most Humanasol League Fleet starships. Smallcraft are not capable of faster-than-light travel:

Heavy Shuttles are armed transport craft that carry troops and cargo. Typical crews range from 2-4 persons. Length: 23.1 meters.

Gunboats are heavily armed fighting craft. Typical crews range from 2-4 persons. Length: 19.0 meters.

Workpods are heavy duty repair craft. It has a crew of 1-2 persons. Length: 5.4 meters.

COMMENTARY

The Humanasol League Fleet ships are meant to be reminiscent of the ships seen in a variety of science-fiction role playing games and board games.
