Re: [Spaceships] New carrier design
Baghdad-class Cruiser
Prior to the formation of the Colonial Defense Alliance, the Arabian Empire's space fleet was regarded as the most powerful of the human fleets operating in and around the Sol system. The power of Arabia's fleet was due in no small part to their cruisers, which prior to the development of the Black Widow and Andromeda classes were the most heavily armed and armored ships in existance.

Korolev-class Strike Carrier
The Korolev-class strike carrier was Russia's premier carrier design during the Glrrü War. While designed to carry 50 kilotons worth of smaller craft, the carrier also boasts powerful weaponry capable of damaging much larger ships and stations. The Korolev can carry between 500 and 1,660 fighters; its usual complement is around 250 fighters, with the rest of the bay reserved for additional larger support craft. Russia also uses the Korolev-class carrier as a marine transport. In this role, the majority of the fighters are replaced by larger dropships and assault transports, not counting the armored vehicles used by the marines.

Xia-class Escort Carrier
Unlike several other nations, China did not donate their best ships to the Colonial Defense Force. The craft they did donate, however, has proven its worth in the role it has been given: providing a rapid response fighter cover screen in an escort role. The bulk of the Xia-class carrier has been dedicated to supporting the flight wing. The standard complement is around 240 fighters, supplemented by various larger craft; it can carry between 270 and 900 fighters of various sizes.

Gada-class Destroyer
India has long prefered to build larger numbers of smaller ships to protect their colonial interests, as opposed to the larger vessels favored by the other nations. Due to this school of thought, the Gada-class was originally designated a cruiser; those donated to the Colonial Defense Forces have been reclassified as destroyers. The Gada-class destroyer possesses a mix of long- and short-ranged weaponry, enabling it to hold its own against the cruisers and carriers fielded by rival nations. Furthermore, the craft is one of the few designs intended to operate inside an atmosphere, possessing both a streamlined frame and flight-stabilizing wings.

Einherjar-class Marine Transport
In the past, marine transports were generally other ships, commonly carriers, that had been refitted to perform as a base ship from which marines could operate. The Generals of the Colonial Defense Force Marine Corps pushed for ships designed specifically for the marine transport role. The European Union ultimately provided the ideal ship: a carrier design which could operate in atmosphere as needed. The Einherjar-class marine transport was named after those Norse warriors slain in battle who were chosen to dwell in Valhalla, spending their days fighting and their nights partying, all in preparation for Ragnarok, the final battle between good and evil. The Marine Corps found the name quite fitting.

Roswell-class Frigate
Some have called the Roswell-class frigate an unsightly craft. It is a blocky ship designed strictly for escort purposes; it possesses a number of weapons along all sides, including its underside, which are designed to provide point-defense around larger craft. Some have stated that it lacks design aesthetics, resembling in many ways a brick with engines and gun turrets; it is not capable of maneuvering in atmosphere. The Roswell-class frigate is an older design, easily mass-produced and possessing a very small crew when compared to other ships in the fleet. Its small crew generally means that it is commanded by a Commander rather than a Captain.

Re: [Spaceships] New carrier design
Valkyrie-class Racker
The racker is a ship design which first saw use during the brief conflict which became known as the Glrrü War. Faced with the problems of rapidly launching fighters from a hangar deck at the start of a conflict, one enterprising captain came to the conclusion that a craft which could carry fighters on its hull would cut the time of launching the craft significantly. The first racker was simply a modified cargo tug; the term "racker" comes from the idea that it would be carrying "racks" of fighters on the outside. One advantage of the racker is that it is able to speed rearming; by docking with a racker, whose crew manage the rearmament via servos, the fighter is able to return to the fray that much quicker. The Valkyrie-class Racker is the newest racker design to emerge. The Valkyrie is able to carry six small or three medium-sized fighters on her hull. The design does have a few drawbacks. First, to save costs the designers used inferior armor plating; some craft have had the armor upgraded with more modern alloys. Second, the craft is unarmed, relying on its speed, ECM, and force screen for defense. The Valkyrie is a sub-light craft, usually operating from larger carriers and space stations. Other racker models may sacrifice engine power to permit them to enter hyperspace, although CDA regulations forbid this practice among its own forces due to the effects that traveling through hyperspace may have on the fighter pilots' minds. (There normally isn't enough room on board racker designs for the fighter pilots to sit during hyperspace transits, unlike on board the larger carrier designs, leaving them to experience the unsettling visual effects of hyperspace from their fighter cockpits.)

Apollo-class Research Vessel
While the Greek god Apollo is primarily known as the "god of light" (and often mistakenly called the "sun god"), he was also the god of science and medicine, among other duties. The Apollo-class science vessel is designed for research and development in both science and medicine. For the fifty years that the Apollo-class has been on the market, more scientific and medical breakthroughs have come from their research than from planet-side or even station-based research facilities. In addition to the scientific laboratories on board the vessels, the vessels are also used to explore outside of the Sol Sector, scouting out possible colony worlds, and studying the universe in general. They often operate alone, but can be found in a limited number among the Colonian Defense Alliance fleet.

Hephaestus-class Factory Ship
The Hephaestus-class factory ship is a craft designed to provide spare parts and the occasional custom-built item using high-performance nanotechnology while operating away from resupply bases. These craft are generally unarmed and lightly armored, relying primarily on its force screen for protection; some militaries replace some of the factory modules with batteries of point-defense weaponry, while others increase the quality of the armor to much stronger materials - often using the ship itself to manufacture its armor. These craft are often paired with bulk freighters to provide additional raw materials, with light freighters handling the transfer of goods between the factory ship and the other ships in the vicinity.
