After the failure of the second missile attack on Dregluk Prime, the Republic’s Admiralty began looking at alternatives, should the planned fourth attack with specialist missiles also fail.  This re-exanimation of the Fleet’s operational concept came at the same time that it had become clear that the Republic’s faltering economy could barely build enough missiles to supply newly built ships, much less replace the massive expenditures against the Dregluk.  At the same time as the faltering munitions industry was repurposed to build the new fast planetary attack missiles, the 1st Fleet was requesting a massive resupply of missiles that simply weren’t available.  In a desperation move, the Admiralty stripped the Home Fleet of all Bludgeon IV and Thunderbolt IV ASM’s, replacing them with their older Mark III versions, so that the 1st Fleet could be resupplied.  The fact that the Home Fleet, and some of the PDC’s in the Home System, had been stripped of their best missiles served as a blatant warning to the Admiralty, as well as the Consul’s office and the Senate.   For once competing voices were stilled as the Republic’s military and civilian leadership were forced to accept that their chosen strategy of long-ranged missile combatants was, perhaps, no longer viable.  Or at least, it was barely sustainable at its current level.  Certainly, expanding the fleet with more missile ships was not seen as viable at this time. 

Therefore, with this confluence of events smoothing the way for a change of course, those officers in the fleet that had long advocated for an enlarged beam force seized their opportunity.  They pointed out that R&D on improved beam weapons had been going on for some time, and that improved versions of the venerable Hunter-Killer designs would be very popular with the public and the Senate, both of whom venerated the doughty Dregluk killers.  When this proposal was accepted by the Admiralty, they went further and advocated for a complete change in future construction priorities, shifting from the construction of missile combatants to beam-armed ships.  Given the Republic’s faltering missile production, the outcome was preordained. 

In short order yards were being converted to construct several different beam-armed ship classes.  The new production of missile armed ships was to cease completely, although several refits were authorized to remedy deficiencies found in several classes.  In addition, several new classes of gauss-cannon armed ships were authorized to provide a missile defense capability for the fleet that did not rely on expendable missiles. 

Siege-Breaker class Battleship
The Siege-Breaker is designed specifically to attack the defenses over Dregluk Prime, should that become necessary.  The ship is heavily armored and shielded, to absorb the punishment that will come its way while it pounds its enemies with its lasers.  There was some debate about equipping the ship with large and small lasers, as well as the spinal laser, but after some consideration the Admiralty decided that the 150 mm laser would be its primary weapon of choice, largely because it was the largest laser that could be charged and fired every five seconds, making it a very formidable weapon.

Enterprise r6 class Hunter-Killer
The two currently existing Enterprise class ships, the Endeavor and the Assistance, are Enterprise r4 class units.  The r5 version of the HuK was designed, but never put into service due to the Fleet’s preoccupation with missile combatants.  The r6 is a quantum leap in capability for the venerable HuK class.  Like the Siege-Breaker, it is armed with a spinal laser and a number of smaller 150 mm lasers, just far fewer than the battleship, of course.  The shielding has been upgraded to the latest Xi design, giving the HuK’s the best shielding in the fleet, at least until the first Siege-Breaker is launched.  In addition, the r4’s older engines are replaced with the latest magnetic confinement fusion designs, giving the ship more power and better fuel efficiency.  This design is also equipped with the latest sensors and fire controls. 

Under normal conditions the cost to refit the older r4 designs to this standard would be considered prohibitive, but the public and the Senate considers the Assistance and the Endeavor to be national heroes, therefore, the expense will be paid, regardless of the fact that a brand-new ship could be purchased for less.

Gauss cannon equipped ships
After the Dregluk dramatically demonstrated the utility of their gauss cannon weaponry, the Admiralty began examining the available gauss cannon technology.  Fortunately, considerable R&D resources had been expended on developing gauss cannon tech over the years, mostly to improve the CIWS installations that had been installed on many early designs.  With the realization that the current missile production facilities were having trouble keeping up with demand, the Admiralty decided that an alternate, non-missile based missile defense should be deployed, and with the example of the Dregluk defense of their home world fresh at hand it was obvious that gauss cannon turrets was the way to go.  Two different gauss cannon turrets were developed, a twin model and a triple gauss cannon mount, and several designs were developed to mount the new turrets. 

While the Republic’s gauss cannons are not as developed as those used by the Dregluk, they are close, and the Admiralty hopes that numbers will make up for any technical deficiencies. 

Agamemnon(G) class Destroyer Escort
The Agamemnon(G) is a variant of the standard Agamemnon design below in the missile combatant section.  For this class the designers merely removed the missile launchers, magazines, and fire control systems for the ASUM missiles mounted on the standard design, and replaced them with gauss cannon turrets and point defense fire controls.  Creating this class as a variant of the standard Agamemnon class also allowed the shipyards that were devoted to constructing the standard units to be converted to construct the Agamemnon(G) class with little difficultly or cost.

Missile Units
Even as the Admiralty came to the decision that no new missile units would be constructed, there was a mounting awareness of the fact that several existing missile designs had critical flaws that had to be remedied, so approval was given to go ahead with refits for these classes even as new construction came to a halt.  The one exception to this is the Agamemnon class DDE, as the design was commissioned before the paradigm shift in the Admiralty, and this unit was seen as necessary to counter any small units deployed by an enemy.

 Agamemnon class Destroyer Escort   
While the Anti-Small-Unit-Missile (ASUM) pods were seen as a necessary stop-gap to get a critically necessary capability to the front lines as soon as possible, the Admiralty was never happy relying solely on these pods.  Instead, a DDE hull was designed to utilize these missiles and fire controls, to provide the Republic’s fleets with protection against small units.

Brooklyn(F-ER) class Fast Frigate   
The original Brooklyn(F) class fast frigate was designed to escort the HuK’s of the fleet, and were basically standard Brooklyn class AMM frigates stripped down with extra engines installed to give them enough speed to keep up with the HuK’s.  The HuK commanders were very enthusiastic about finally having some missile defense coverage that wouldn’t slow them down, and the class was well received by the fleet.  Unfortunately, through a design bureau error, the short endurance and small fuel tankage of the original Brooklyn design was carried over to the original fast frigate design, in spite of the fact that it was already apparent that these limitations were causing large problems for the 1st Fleet during its offensive against the Dregluk.  Once it became clear that the new fast frigates were a problem, a refit was authorized to increase their endurance and fuel tankage.

MB r4 class Missile Boat   
The missile boats have been the cornerstone of the defense of the Solar System and the offensive effort against the Dregluk.  The original design was very short on endurance and fuel, and was designed to travel to the jump point to Washington from Earth, and its short range and endurance reflected this.  When it became clear that a longer ranged version was needed, the LR version of the original missile boat design was developed, and this became the standard for the fleet for many years.  However, during the hard campaigning in and around the Houston and Austin systems, a critical flaw in the LR missile boat design became apparent.  The class did not have enough maintenance supplies to service its large active sensor or its engines, meaning that if a unit of the class suffered a maintenance failure it was either rendered combat ineffective or it was completely immobilized.  Either was obviously undesirable, and so the Admiralty authorized a refit for the missile boat fleet to bring them up to a more serviceable standard.  The Admiralty decided to refit all existing missile boats to this standard, including the older short range missile boats squadrons.

Defender Class Destroyer Escort
The Defender class was intended to replace the smaller Brooklyn class frigates in the fleet missile defense role, and the design was created with the intention of alleviating the problems with the Brooklyn class.  This class has a designed endurance of eighteen months, more than three and a half times the endurance of the smaller frigates.  In addition, the Defender’s fuel range is over eight times that of the smaller frigates, eliminating the most common complaint from task group commanders trying to deal with the notoriously short-ranged frigates.  Finally, while the Defender actually carries one less AMM launcher, it mounts an additional fire control system, giving it more flexibility, and its magazine space is almost three times as large as a Brooklyn class unit. 

The Defender class eliminates the CIWs that the frigates mounted and replaces it with heavy shielding.

Pod-Anti-Small Unit
After Admiral Wallace’s fleet encountered small Dregluk units in the Austin system which they were unable to acquire with their sensors or target with their fire controls, the Admiralty commissioned the development of sensors, fire controls, and missiles to engage the new Dregluk small units.  In order to get the new systems into service quickly, the Admiralty decided to modify a standard missile pod to incorporate the new systems. 
The Admiralty design teams believe that the Dregluk small units would not likely be equipped with much in the way of armor or shields, therefore, Republican units would only have to launch two or three missiles at each Dregluk small unit to eliminate it, or at least mission-kill it.  Therefore, this pod design mounts six fire control systems with four launchers for each fire control, allowing the pod to engage six separate Dregluk small units at a time. 

The Admiralty has authorized the development of a new missile for this unit, designated the Raptor Anti-Small Unit Missile (ASUM).  This missile is the same size as a Thunderbolt ASM, but has a range of 50 mkm’s, is very fast, and has a comparatively heavy warhead. 

It is clear that Admiral Wallace will not be able to enter the Dregluk home system (Austin), if indeed it is their home system, without a means to deal with these small units.  To rush these into production, the Admiralty has obtained Senatorial approval to devote Earth’s industrial capacity towards producing the systems needed to build these designs.  This pre-production should allow the Martian shipyards to rapidly built these pods.

Republic Fleet
The Philadelphia System Pacification Campaign gave the navy very useful experience in power projection, and Admiral Bradshaw used the experience he had gained in the campaign to successfully argue for across the board improvements in fleet support units.  In addition, Admiral Bradshaw argued, successfully, that older units such as the Mars, which were slower and equipped with weapons that were shorter ranged than modern units, had no place in the order of battle during any campaign.   In fact, Admiral Bradshaw’s arguments were used by Admiral Law to force through a requirement that all future combat designs be capable of at least 6,000 km/s, and all support designs be capable of at least 5,000 km/s. 

Battle Fleet Units

Star class Battleship:
This is the Republic’s first capital ship design, and uses all of the Republic’s latest innovations.  The design was given a top speed in excess of the mandated 6,000 km/s in an attempt to give the battleships a reservoir of speed that could be used to tow pods without too much degradation of their overall capability to keep up with their smaller escorts.  This class was equipped with a capital fire control system that had a potential to control missiles out to a much longer range than possible with the current Thunderbolt III ASM.  This was done to account for future increases in range for planned missiles, specifically for an extended range version of the Thunderbolt.

Planet r2(C) class Battlecruiser:
An (r2) version of the Planet class had long been finalized, but was never built due to lack of yard space and uncertainty within the Admiralty as to the future of the battlecruiser class.  Before the decision was made one way or another it appeared that technology had by-passed the battlecruisers and that their time had passed, and a refit of the Mars fell out of favor.  The outstanding performance of the Mars throughout the long war with the Dregluk, coupled with the fleet’s need for a command ship, has forced a re-evaluation of that decision, though.  The old designs for the r2 refit were dusted off and updated with the latest technology, and a flag bridge was added.

MBr3(LR) class Missile Boat:
The r3 version of the missile boat design have proved invaluable in the ongoing defense of the Solar system against the Dregluk.  The Bludgeon missiles launched by units of the missile boat class far outrange all known Dregluk missile designs, and have allowed Republican forces to engage numerous Dregluk attacks from beyond the Dregluk ship’s ability to respond, leading to many one-sided victories.  However, the r3 version of the missile boats have several critical weaknesses related to compromises made during the worst years of the Dregluk bombardment.  The missile boats were never intended as strategic offensive weapons, instead they were intended to be defensive weapons to control access to the Solar System.  Therefore, the missile boats were designed to operate away from their bases for no more than one month, and had very limited fuel tankage, limiting them in many ways.  With the advent of advanced engines and technology, though, the Admiralty decided to shift production over to a long-ranged variant of the missile boat, the r3(LR) version.  This variant is capable of operations away from its base for up to a year, and has nearly three times the operational range of the earlier classes.  Coupled with the LRS version below, this class will make a potent addition to the navy’s long-range striking power.

The Federation built several of the original version of these large tankers to support its colonization and survey efforts.  Given the Republican Navy’s fuel-thirsty designs, the old UNREP units have proven to be necessary to the fleet’s attempts to pacify even the systems adjacent to the Solar System, much less systems two or more jumps away.  The older designs were too slow to keep up with modern fleets though, and would have been extremely vulnerable if the fleet was forced to retreat.  Therefore the r2 version, with an expanded engine segment with modern engines was designed.

Republican Navy Survey Command
The Admiralty, with the agreement of the Senate, is constructing new units to survey systems in support of ongoing offensive campaigns against the Dregluk and Obscura.  Admiral Law went before the Senate several times in 2137 to argue for the creation of a new survey command to support his planned offensive actions against first the Obscura and then the Dregluk.  The Senate was initially reluctant to divert resources away from fleet construction needs, but once the Fleet successfully cleared the New York system the Senate approved the diversion of yard space once current construction goals had been met.  The new Survey Command is subordinate to the Navy and will be under its operational control.  Because of the disaster that befell the Federation’s survey corporations, the Admiralty decided that all survey units would be equipped with the latest and best thermal signature suppression and cloaking technology available.

Survey Scout Class Jump Scout:
There were several competing design concepts examined during the design phase of the project to create a new survey fleet.  In the end, based on the experiences of old Federation’s survey corporations, the Admiralty decided to go with a scout design that was intended to wait at the jump point and act as a communications link for the rest of the group.  While some in the Admiralty considered this a waste of a hull that could be used as either an additional survey ship or a fuel tanker, the ever-cautious Admiralty went with the design that ensured that any hostile actions by aliens discovered during the exploration groups survey efforts would be reported to the Admiralty.

The deployment of salvage units in early 2136 proved to be a turning point in the war against the Dregluk.  Almost from their first salvage operations the two salvage ships began returning Dregluk technology to the Earth that allowed humanity’s R&D effort to race ahead.  The fruits of this effort were realized in mid-2136 when the latest generation of Aegis, Thunderbolt, and Bludgeon missiles were deployed.  It wasn’t until the end of the year that systems capable of properly utilizing these new weapons were developed and ready for deployment.  The designs below include many new technologies intended to put humanity on an even footing with the Dregluk. 

System Defense Command
With the construction of bases on the Moon and Mars, the Earth Defense Command has been renamed and rebranded as the System Defense Command.  In spite of the recent successes of the Fleet, the System Defense Command is still considered humanity’s primary bulwark against Dregluk attack, and has first call on resources for humanity’s defense

Shield Class PDC:
Designed in mid-2135, this base was intended to supplement the anti-missile defenses of the EDC.  Once the current R&D effort is complete, major research assets will be assigned to improve meson technology.

Aegis r2 Class PDC:
This upgrade to the cornerstone of the Earth’s defense network improves the original design in several important ways.  All of the older fire control systems are replaced with the latest generation anti-missile fire controls, which will extend the engagement range of the base greatly, improving its ability to intercept incoming missiles farther away from the Earth.  In addition, the sensors are replaced with the latest anti-missile search sensors, to give the base independent capability to acquire targets, should that be necessary.   Upgrades to this design will begin in early 2137.

Sword r2 class PDC:
The old “Board” class PDC’s have been renamed by the Republic to the Sword class.  This upgrade introduces the latest generation of missile launchers, reducing the time to launch a new salvo by 50%.  In addition, the older fire controls are replaced by the latest generation, allowing the base to engage targets out to the current limit of the Bludgeon III missiles.  Upgrades will begin in 2137.

Final Line r1 class PDC:
The Final Line bases were constructed in the tense days just before the first Dregluk attack on the Earth.  They have been largely sidelined throughout the battles of the two and a half years as the larger Sword class bases have engaged targets far beyond the Final Line class’s range.  This upgrade will allow the base to engage targets out to the current limit of the Bludgeon III’s engagement range, and, in addition, increases the number of launchers to twenty.   

A small faction within the Senate wanted to decommission these bases, however, the System Defense Command successfully campaigned to not only improve their capabilities but increase the number of launchers in each base.

The Republican Fleet
The last year has been particularly good for the Fleet.  Prior to 2136 the Fleet had languished in orbit, contributing in a minor way to the missile defense of the Earth but otherwise inconsequential, as the Earth Defense Command took every opportunity to point out.  In 2136, though, the fleet has come into its own.  True, it was largely forced into action by the need to defend the salvage ships, but after the first several engagements the Fleet has gained confidence even as its capabilities increased.  The technological advancements of 2136 will allow the fleet, once refitted, to engage the Dregluk in open space on much more balanced terms, or even terms that are advantageous to humanity. 

Saratoga r1 class Monitor:
The r1 upgrade adds improved ECM, fire controls, anti-missile launchers, and sensors to the Monitor class.  In addition, a larger fuel tank was included, as the original design’s tankage was too small for its intended function.   R1 class monitors will be capable of engaging and destroying Dregluk battleships in open space from ranges beyond the Dregluk ship’s own missile range.

Planet r2 class Battlecruiser:
This upgrade for the Planet class introduces new missile launchers capable of launching missiles twice as fast as the older designs, increased magazine space, improved ECM, and better sensors and fire controls.  It was decided that it would be too expensive to upgrade the engines, though, so while it is faster than known Dregluk designs, it is too slow to catch a fleeing Dregluk ship.

The Admiralty has not decided if additional Planet class units will be built.  While the Mars has been the cornerstone of the Fleet since it was built, and has proved instrumental in several engagements with the Dregluk, it is not considered capable enough, even in this configuration, to stand up to Dregluk ships on its own.  No decision has been made as to the timing of the refit for the Mars class.  Yards large enough to build or refit a Mars class battlecruiser are rare, and are in high demand for monitors and new ship classes intended to take the fight to the Dregluk.

Lake class Missile Frigate:
The Lake class is a refit/upgrade for the Brooklyn r3 class, and is intended to be a separate class.  Originally, given the overwhelming need for missile defense, plans had been made to convert all existing Brooklyn class ships to the r4 dedicated missile defense design, however, before that could happen several r3 versions were produced and proved invaluable in taking the fight to the Dregluk.  Therefore, the decision was made to split the r3’s off from the Brooklyn line and create a new class of dedicated attack frigates with the latest sensors and fire controls.

The Lake class sacrifices several of the Brooklyn r3’s box launchers to mount additional AMM launchers, which were upgraded to the latest design, giving the ship much better missile defense capability. 

The Lake class, and the Brooklyn class above, are small enough to be built relatively quickly and in large numbers, and for these reasons the classes are intended to become the backbone and primary striking power of the Republican fleet.

In the aftermath of the encounter with the Obscura in the New York system and the loss of Foster Interstellar’s survey fleet, the Federation Board decided that a space-going military was necessary for the survival of humanity, and for the Federation to prosper.  While the first generation of Federation military ships were not particularly capable, they were not intended to engage the Obscura in anything but the direst emergency.  Instead, they were intended as training platforms to train their crews and would later be refitted with the latest technology before being committed to battle.

The missile boat design was a series of compromises that satisfied no one.  The original intent was to design a 1,000 ton unit mounting missiles that could be built in newly built shipyards without having to expand those yards, a process that was time consuming and expensive.  Unfortunately, the technology did not exist to make a 1,000 ton unit that was fast enough and carried enough missile launchers to be effective.  In the end the design teams decided to settle on s 2,250 ton hull with miniaturized launchers that were the best Federation technology could provide.

This design was intended to provide Federation fleets with long-range recon abilities.  The stealth ion drives, while slower than comparable ion drives installed on other classes, were intended to allow the scouts to operate independently and to, hopefully, escape detection when doing so. 


Federation Ship Designs, 2125-2130
The Corporate Federation has no military, as such, and the bulk of upper and middle management of the Corporations that compose the Federation and from which its bureaucracy is drawn, fervently believe that nationalism and militarism almost destroyed the human race.  The rest of the population is not as fervent as the Corporate Federation’s managers, but most pay at least lip service to the party line, especially in light of the wealth and peace that the Corporate Federation has brought to Earth.  Given these beliefs, the Corporate Federation will not be building armed space craft until such time as there is a demonstrated need.

This upgrade adds the latest nuclear-pulse engines, increasing the ship’s speed by over 50%.  In addition, the fuel capacity is increased, resulting in adding an additional 150 tons to the overall mass.  The increased fuel capacity somewhat offsets the increased fuel usage by the new engines.  The Armstrong was refitted to this class in 2128.

The Far Seer class is similar to the Explorer class, however, it was designed and built with much better technology.  This can be seen in the improved sensors available for this class, including active sensors, which the Explorer’s don’t have.  These improvements were made without increasing the size of the ship, which was possible because of the improved hull material used in the construction of this class. 

The first two units of this class were launched in January, 2130.

This ship is the Federation’s first attempt at a unit capable of interstellar travel.  The jump drive takes up twenty-five percent of the ship’s mass, making it nearly impossible to add in survey sensors.  Instead of creating a barely capable survey unit, the Federation instead decided to create a tender capable of conveying survey ships to other stars and then supporting them with additional fuel and maintenance supplies once there. 

While the technology and design was finalized in 2129, it would take some time before the Federation’s yards could build such a large vessel.
