Auxiliary

Fĕrĕt

The Fĕrĕt [Ferret] is a small, self-contained mobile sensor platform that can be used to extend the effective range of a ship’s sensors and locate specific targets remotely. Equipped with preventative defenses and anti-projectile lasers, it is a very powerful detection and basic analysis tool. The Xanthalian model also carries a space-time bubble generator.

Wĕko

The Wĕko’s interior is simply a padded compartment, just big enough to hold its two occupants. Powered with a large lithium battery, its only systems are a simple carbon dioxide scrubber, maneuvering thrusters, and distress signal emitter, all automatically activated upon ejection and operated by a tiny onboard computer with the help of proximity sensors. With no space-time bubble generator and no defenses, the Wĕko is a very basic, straightforward escape pod.

Combat

Hokäl

Designed to complement lighter attack ships, the Hokäl class is all but useless in close-quarters combat. It is designed for long range forward assault. With its pylons deployed it exposes auxiliary forward shield projectors, four offensive grade laser cannons, a high-powered antiproton cannon, and its main weapon: 56 space-time mines, each loaded in an independent launch bay for simultaneous firing. Only the ship’s mines are used are used in most battles. The ship’s energy weapons are reserved as last-resort offense and defense at close range.

Jĕl

The Jĕl is the foundation for the Xanthalian defense forces, excelling far beyond galactic standards in speed and maneuverability. It compensates for its weak shields with two highly accurate laser cannons, which it uses to shoot down enemy projectiles and weaken the shields of enemy starships. Its main weapon is the powerful forward-mounted antiproton cannon, used primarily for offensive purposes. The Jĕl carries no space-time mines, making it more defensively vulnerable in planespace, but a single-barrel railgun on the ventral hull increases its combat versatility.

Lĕsö

The Lĕsö class patrol ship is designed to be an all-around warship, specialized for independent operation and defense. Equipped with a full array of powerful weapons, the Lĕsö class incorporates a balanced mixture of design elements to make a quick, relatively long-range starship with strong offensive ability. The Lĕsö class has two significant handicaps however. Firstly, because of its powerful weapons and shields, fuel range becomes an issue during extended periods of alert. Secondly, because of its size and often operating away from other combat vessels, it is practically vulnerable when combating more than a few targets at a time.

The class boasts remarkable communication and sensor abilities, and is host to an advanced artificial intelligence that handles its many advanced functions and even an electronic intelligence to protect it from electronic warfare. Its actual combat capabilites are very limited, and it relies on its powerful defenses to preserve it in battle.

Ĭntr Yäzö Voyäl

A large, well-defended facility designed to serve as a command post and staging area for military personnel and operations, modified for mobility and planespace travel. Equipped with station and fleet command centers as well as internal docking facilities for shuttles and external ports for larger ships, it can also service and supply other vessels, more so than the normal Ĭntr Yäzö. It is very slow compared to starships, but still capable of 500 meters per second at full velocity in normal space.

Bodemeä

The Bodemeä class is built fast and tough. Equipped with advanced long- and short-range sensors, its primary function in times of war is to autonomously scout out enemy fleets, obtain data, and return safely to deliver whatever information it has collected. It has two forward defensive space-time mine launchers, each loaded with five mines. It is also equipped with aft laser cannons to fend off pursuing ships and projectiles. In peacetime it can serve equally well as a science or courier ship.

Karĭn

Rĕpolĭn

The Rĕpolĭn class is the result of Xanthalian efforts to create a ship capable of autonomous operation in areas of deep space inaccessible by sord. It is large and costly, but very powerful by Xanthalian standards. While the Rĕpolĭn lacks the versatility of the Ălfäşrä, it is constructed exclusively with Xanthalian technology and is significantly less expensive to build and maintain, making it more practical for general use. As well as the planespace navigation capability common to Xanthalian ships, the Rĕpolĭn utilizes a rudimentary Xanthalian-built hyperspace jump drive. Its Käleka shuttles have the same drive in place of space-time bubble generators.

Transport

Käleka

The Käleka light transport and its many variants are the most mass-produced of all Xanthalian ships. Incredibly functional, most larger ships carry at least one aboard to use both for transportation between vessels and facilities and as an escape vehicle when evacuation orders are issued. Because its facilities total up to be little more than engines, life support systems, and a basic computer information storage and navigation, the two-compartment Käleka, though small, has a great deal of empty space by volume for transporting people, cargo, or any combination of the two.

• Class commission date: 273-4-70.

• Decks: 1.
• Cost: $500,000.

Länjeä

The Länjeä personnel shuttle is a very small vessel designed to carry up to twenty passengers in relative comfort within a solar system. It has no space-time bubble generator, but its powerful ion engines provide quick short-range transportation between planets, stations, and ships. Länjeäe are usually stationed aboard space stations and at planetary facilities.

A Säzonä modified for mass personnel transport. Capable of planetary water landings, it can be used to carry and sustain up to 1,000,000 soldiers along with all necessary baggage and equipment to and from surface worlds as well as between facilities in space. The tough, unarmed Länyönä is best suited to delivering into non-combat areas behind established defenses, but it can unload under fire for limited periods by extending its shields, or deploy troops and smaller equipment by Käleka.

Säzonä

The Säzonä is the heavy cargo ship of the Xanthalian fleet. Capable of planetary water landings, it can be used to carry large amounts of cargo to and from surface worlds as well as between facilities in space. Though it has the capability to serve the smaller-scale supply functions of the Säzoyl class, the tough, unarmed Säzonä is best suited to long, direct hauls in non-combat situations. It can carry passengers instead of cargo in emergencies.

• Class commission date: 301-5-96.

Säzoyl

The Säzoyl class supply ship is fully equipped to carry everything from weapons to food to fuel and deploy it where needed. Its versatility allows it to operate equally well as a routine transport ship or as a vital supply line to a battlefront and swap functions as a cargo or passenger ship with a one day refit. It has a long range, but travels more slowly than most combat ships. Lightly armed and moderately shielded, the Säzoyl is usually escorted when any trouble is expected.

Sĕgno

A very small craft, what few facilities the Sĕgno shuttle has are devoted to making its single passenger comfortable. The simple but elegant command center is alone in the forward compartment, where the pilot (if one is aboard) spends his or her time. The rear compartment has a small lounge and bedroom area, as well as limited storage for consumables. On solo missions, the Sĕgno can be set to autopilot if the occupant wishes to retire to the rear compartment. While it is only intended for one passenger, the VIP facilities of the Sĕgno easily accommodate two. Thus, it can operate effectively with one, two, or three occupants. It also has a single, forward-mounted laser cannon to deter attackers.
