Welcome to Gaia! ::

The following is a list of ships, stations and other technology currently in use by the Terran Republic.

Model Number/Ship Designation: Sovereign-class Star Dreadnought

Name: Freedom

Length: 15,000 meters

Height: Unknown

Weight (dry, loaded): Unknown

Crew Capacity: 605,745

Accomodation:

Powerplant: Fused Crystaline Power Core

Propulsion:

Armament: Heavy turbolaser cannons x 500, turbolaser batteries x 500, ion cannons x 75, tractor beam projectors x 100, gravity well generators x 5, Axial superlaser x 1, Quasi-Hyaku shielding, ablative armor

History/Description: The flagship of the Cadian Defense Fleet and the symbol of Cadian independence, the Freedom was contracted to Kuat Drive Yards when the Cadians realized they were going to need bigger ships to hold off Imperial vessels such as the No-Life King Stardreadnaughts and the Behemoth-III Battlecruisers.

While only slightly larger than a Behemoth-III and still smaller than a NLK-class, the Freedom possesses far more firepower than either vessel.

With the collapse of the Imperium, the Freedom took on the role as flagship and symbol of the new Terran nation.

Ship Designation: IBS-001

Name: Protector-II class Battle Station

Length: 50,000 meters

Height: 6,000 meters

Weight: Unknown

Crew Capacity: 10,000

Accomodation: 900,000; 600,000 Republican Guard, 300,000 MS pilots

Powerplant: Crystaline Power Core

Propulsion: Stardrive, FTL engines and drive coils

Armament: KEW batteries, anti-ship laser batteries, Peacekeeper-II missile batteries, Quantam torpedo launchers, Genesis Cannon, Quasi-Hyaku shielding, ablative armor

Special: Genesis Cannon: A powerful energy weapon capable of destroying entire cities even an a relatively low setting. This weapon can be targeted specifically against individual starships if necessary, focusing its energy into a beam that can severely damage even a No-Life King class vessel with a direct hit.

History: One of the early upgrades to the Terran military after the formation of the Imperium. Designed as bases for planetary garrisons and as re-supply and re-armament stations for Imperial Starfleet operations. With the collapse of the Terran Imperium following the Cadian Rebellion, these impressive stations were absorbed into the newly-created Terran Starfleet.

Ship Designation: Stealth Cruiser Type II

Length: 29.2 meters

Width: 49.3 meters

Crew Capacity: 2

Accomodation: 5 passengers

Powerplant: Terran Crystaline Power Core

Propulsion: 2 Sossen-7 sublight engines, FTL engine and drive coils

Armament: 2 retractable top-mounted laser cannons, deflector shields, ablative armor

Special: Phase cloak

History: The Stealth Cruiser Type II was the original design used by the first Terran Republic, with a few modifications. Intended for much smaller-scale missions, largely surveillance oriented.

Ship Designation: Mercury-class Battlestar

Length: 1,830m

Width: 555m

Height: 177m

Crew Capacity: 2,500+

Accomodation: Viper/Raptor pilots (180+), Republican Guard soldiers (10,000)

Powerplant: Terran Crystaline Power Core

Propulsion: Sublight engines x 8, FTL engines and drive coils

Armament: KEW batteries x many, Missile batteries (conventional and nuclear), 180 Viper Mark VII fighters, Raptors, Regenerative shields, ablative armor

History: The Mercury-class Battlestars were the flagships of the first Terran Republic, formidable combat vessels that, for reasons never fully explained, were taken out of service when the Terran Imperium came into being. With that government's collapse, Chancellor Beruss immediately ordered the Mercury-class vessels pulled out of mothballs and rigorously overhauled, so that they could once again serve as fleet command vessels.

Ironically, the Imperial-IIIs have more crew than the Battlestars, even with the Battlestars' greater size. This is due to increased automation of duties on board the battlestars. However, due to lessons learned during the previous conflict with the Sith and the Mirai, there are no networked computer systems on any Mercury-class vessels. Such proceedures are also underway on all Terran ships and stations, to prevent computer infiltration from compromising the entire ship.

The Mercury-class Battlestars also have onboard production facilities for the Viper Mark VII fighter.

Ship Designation: Republic One

Length: 84.43 meters

Width: 14.94 meters

Height: 21.95 meters

Crew Capacity: 4

Accomodation: 100-150 standard; accomodation for up to 500 in emergencies

Powerplant: Terran Crystaline Power Core

Propulsion: Sublight engines x 2, FTL drive pods x 4, manuvering thrusters

Armament: N/A, ECM and decoys, Ablative armor, Regenerative shields

History: The concept of a personal ship for the Chancellor was introduced with Edward Daelen and the Chancellor's Cruiser during the first Terran Republic. However, it was determined, with the advent of the second Republic, that a small ship for personal use was not a realistic idea. With the Terran Republic taking a larger role in the galaxy, a larger ship was designed. This ship would take on the role of a mobile office and command center for Chancellor.

Ship Designation: Republic-class Gunstar

Length: 832 meters

Crew Capacity: 2,500

Accomodation: 4,850 Republican Guard, 50 Viper pilots

Powerplant: Terran Crystaline Power Core

Propulsion: sublight engines x 3, FTL engines and drive coils, manuvering thrusters

Armament: KEW batteries x many, Anti-ship laser batteries x 16, Genesis Cannon x 1, Regenerative shields, ablative armor

History: The Republic-class Gunstar is another former Republic vessel that was pulled out of mothballs by order of Chancellor Beruss. After some slight modifications, including the replacement of the class's TITAN Particle Cannon with a Genesis Cannon, the class was put back into service as yet another support ship.
