Ships of the Galaxy

Ok, ok, you twisted my arm. Of course I'll put a ship thread in for you Bob.

Name: Ebony Clouds
Class: War Lord Class
Type: Battle Cruiser
Armament: 5 kinetic Cannon, 24 flack turrets, 34 Dual Kinetic turrets and 4 Missile Launchers (Kinetic Lancers Short Range Missile/Ulysses Ultra long range Tactical Missile)


The Main battle cruiser for the League of Free worlds, designed and built for a combination of speed and durability, This Battle cruiser can take on any kind of cruiser including other battle cruisers. Originally intended to enter the fleets of the old empire the War Lord class was exclusively built at the Equinox Major shipyards.

At the onset of the Rebellion when the old Empire fractured and the League of free worlds declared its independents only 3 of the 8 planed War Lord Class battle cruisers had been completed these were immediately pressed into service where they saw some of the heaviest fighting, Ebony Clouds and her sister ship Ivory Moons together managed to bring down one of the famed Old Empire Eclipse class battleships.

All in all the design was considered a success and before the war was ended an additional 2 slipped their moorings to join the fight, today the League can count 22 of this class of ship among its ranks bigger and faster than any other Battle cruiser they are coveted by all other factions.

Name: Neptune
Class: Emperor V
Type: Passenger Liner
Complement: 1500 crew, 60,000 passengers & luggage.
Armament: Class IV reactive shields, two class IV kinetic cannon.

The original Emperor class passenger liners were commissioned nearly two hundred years ago, and at the time they were the pinnacle of luxury and speed. Various versions of the Emperor class have been built in that time, currently the Emperor XI is being produced.

The USF Neptune has been in service for 175 years via various owners and factions. She had only been in service for ten years when she was boarded by pirates for the first time. There was only one death, the captain, however he had taken the ship far from the established shipping lanes and most argued - including most of the passengers - that he deserved to die for putting the ship and the people in it in so much danger.

For the next 150 years the ship traveled the stars before she was boarded by pirates for a second time. After the slaughter it was decided that the ship would be scrapped and was taken to a USF owned and operated salvage yard. The USF decided that, with a little modernisation, the ship could be pressed back into service for at least another 100 years.

So, with upgraded shields, cannons, engines and a vastly upgraded power core the ship was recommissioned and pressed into service.

On her 175th birthday she docked at Zethus in the Desian system, making her only the ninth ship to have visited every populated planet in the galaxy.

Currently under the command of Captain Robert M. Stryder of the USF, she still plies the passenger routes between major population centers.

In her lifetime it is estimated she has earned over 2 trillion credits and transported 100 million passengers.
