Soviet Union Starting Forces
The Project 1201 'Orlan' class is one of the two largest Soviet classes; the other being the Project 1206 below. This Gvardeysky Raketnyy Kreyser, or "Large Missile Cruiser", forms the primary striking power of Soviet task groups and is designed to launch a single wave of one hundred and twenty P-501 Garpun missiles (NATO designation: SS-N-30 Supernova) at a NATO carrier group. The Supernova is larger than equivalent NATO anti-ship missiles, with a more powerful warhead, and is equipped with an onboard active sensor for target acquisition should it lose contact with the launching ship's fire control system. While NATO has opted for reloadable launchers for anti-ship missiles, which allows space for a greater magazine capacity, Soviet designs are uncompromisingly dedicated to creating a single overwhelming salvo, using box launchers that can only be reloaded at a fleet base. However, in line with the Soviet design philosophy of providing a non-missile secondary armament, the Project 1201 has a battery of three 200mm railguns. This gives it an advantage over many NATO designs which are effectively helpless once they run out of missiles. The close-range anti-ship capability is also boosted by six smaller 100mm railguns, although their intended function is point blank anti-missile defence. The Orlan's primary anti-missile capability is provided by ten reloadable B-301A Anti-missile Systems firing the 9K50 Strela-25 (NATO designation: SA-N-32 Guardian). A combination of the Fregat MAE-30 Missile Detection Sensor and the Volna-300 Missile Fire Control allows detection and engagement of incoming missiles at ranges of up to three million kilometers. In terms of passive defences, the Project 1201 is superior to all NATO designs. It has a stronger armour belt than the much smaller Virginia class cruiser and is equipped with an electronic countermeasures system that will significantly reduce the range of NATO missile fire control system. Soviet advances in this area far exceed those of NATO, which has yet to deploy any ECM system on its ships, and may provide to be a decisive advantage in any confrontation.

The Project 1206 'Krechyet' class Tyazholiy Avionosnyy Kreyser, or 'Heavy Aviation Cruiser', is a Soviet design that combines a hangar deck with a significant anti-ship capability. Unlike the NATO Enterprise class, which is entirely dedicated to carrier operations and will endeavour to remain outside hostile missile range, the Project 1206 is designed to operate in direct combat. It is equipped with sixty P-501 Garpun missiles (NATO designation: SS-N-30 Supernova) in box launchers, six 100mm railguns, strong armour protection and an ECM system. The hangar deck, which has one third the capacity of the NATO carriers, allows a strike group of twenty-four Su-40 fighters (see below). Unlike the larger and more flexible strike group of the Enterprise class, the fighters assigned to the 'Krechyet' class are intended solely to boost the anti-ship capability of their mothership. The Project 1206 has no inherent long-range anti-missile capability and will be protected by an Orlan or by a Project 1200 'Berkut' class.

The Sukhoi Su-40 is the Soviet equivalent of NATO's F-24A Cobra class Strikefighter. The primary differences are that the Sukhoi is armed with three launchers compared to four smaller launchers on the Cobra and the Su-40s Phazotron Zhuk-69 Missile Fire Control has approximately ten percent greater range against large targets. The SN/APG-1 Missile Fire Control of the Cobra has a range of 62m kilometers but a resolution of 100 compared to 180 for the Phazotron. In reality, the range advantage of the Su-40 will be more pronounced due to the ECM mounted by all major Soviet warships. The Su-40 is slightly faster than the Cobra but has ten percent less range. The primary missile armament of the Sukhoi is the P-500 Palash (NATO designation: SS-N-31 Starburst). One hundred fifty P-500s are carried in the magazines of the Project 1206 Krechyet class.

The Project 1200 'Berkut' class Raketnyy Kreyser, or 'Missile Cruiser', is the primary anti-missile defence combatant of the Soviet Navy. Equipped with the Fregat MAE-30 Missile Detection Sensor, three Volna-300 Missile Fire Controls and fifteen B-301A Anti-missile Systems firing the 9K50 Strela-25 (NATO designation: SA-N-32 Guardian), the Project 1200 can detect and destroy incoming missiles at over three million kilometers. Its substantial magazine capacity allows it to carry almost four hundred Strela-25s. In addition to its defensive capabilities, the Berkut is armed with twenty-four P-500 Palash anti-ship missiles (NATO designation: SS-N-31 Starburst) in box launchers and a pair of 200mm railguns.

The Project 1204 'Atlant' class Raketnyy Kreyser is focused entirely on anti-ship combat and is probably the Soviet warship that most closely resembles NATO's Virginia class Cruiser. Its eighty P-501 Garpun anti-ship missiles (NATO designation: SS-N-30 Supernova) provide it with a powerful offensive punch and these are backed up by three 200mm railguns. While it lacks the armour protection and CIWS of the Virginia, its ECM system reduces the range at which it can be engaged by NATO forces and allows it to strike first with its devastating main armament.

The Project 1202 Molniya class Raketnyy Kater, or 'Missile Boat', is a small, fast spacecraft designed to approach its target undetected and launch a dozen P-500 Palash anti-ship missiles. It is based around a boosted version of the ion drive that provides twice as much power as the regular Soviet engine but uses ten times as much fuel. Despite its high fuel consumption, it can strike anywhere in the Sol system within the orbit of Pluto from its bases on Earth and Ganymede. Its main disadvantage is the lack of an inherent active sensor capability and therefore the Project 1202 class usually operates in conjunction with the Project 1203 (see below).

The Project 1203 Molniya-S class Mal'yy Razvedyatel'niye Korabl', or 'Small Intelligence Ship', is designed around the Voskhod-1500 active sensor (NATO designation: Top Set) and is intended for two different roles. Firstly, to accompany and provide targeting information for a strike force of Molniya class missile boats. Secondly, to carry out independent sorties to investigate new passive contacts. As it uses the same RK-120 Ion Engine as the Molniya, the Molniya-S has limited range due to the high fuel consumption and is therefore not used in a long-term intelligence gathering role. That falls to the MRK Vishnaya (see below).

The Project 1205 'Vishnaya' class Mal'yy Razvedyatel'niye Korabl' is identical to the Molniya-S except for its engine. As this class is intended for long-term intelligence gathering and surveillance, the high-powered RK-120 has been replaced by a standard ion engine. While this halves the speed of the Vishnaya in comparison to the Molniya-S, it provides much greater endurance, allowing the small ship to operate for over a year at full speed.

The Project 1210 'Moskalenko' class Desatnyy Korabl', or Landing Ship, is the only class of Soviet planetary assault vessel. It is fast, well protected and able to combat drop a full brigade of Soviet assault troops. With thick armour, an ECM system and three 100mm railguns, the Moskalenko is designed to operate in a hostile environment, potentially landing its troops while under enemy fire. There is no Soviet equivalent of NATO's San Antonio class Troop Transport and all Soviet troop transportation uses the Project 1210. As troops are not expected to remain on board for long periods, the Moskalenko is short-ranged, using space that could have been allocated to fuel for defences instead.

Aviatsiya Voenno-Morskogo Flota (Soviet Naval Aviation)
The Tupolev Tu-50 is a long range attack craft that operates from Soviet planetary bases and has a primary mission of delivering P-501 Garpun missiles from maximum range against large NATO vessels. An undetected major strike by a significant force of Tu-50s is the nightmare scenario for every NATO carrier commander. While the major Soviet fleet units can be monitored and therefore any potential threat assessed in advance, it is entirely possible several regiments of Tu-50s could enter attack range and launch a wave of P-501s without ever being detected by NATO sensors. The first warning would be detection of the incoming missiles at two million kilometers. There is no direct NATO equivalent to the Tu-50, as the smaller A-28A Python is intended to launch its assault from thirty million kilometers or less, compared to ninety million for the Soviet attack craft. As the Tupolev has no onboard active sensor, initial targeting for a strike would probably be provided by the Beriev A-100 (see below).

The Beriev A-100 is the Soviet counterpart of the E-27A Sentinel, although unlike the NATO early warning craft it usually operates from planetary bases. The Beriev is used for point investigation of unknown contacts, to provide sensor coverage for Soviet task groups and as an escort for Tu-50 strikes. The Beriev often shadows NATO forces on fleet maneuvers, partly to gain intelligence on NATO activity - although this function is better performed by the Project 1205 Vishnaya due to its extended range - but mainly to ensure the A-100 is a familiar sight for NATO commanders, who will therefore place no special emphasis on its presence when it is providing targeting information for a Tu-50 strike that could precede any general war.

The fuel supply for the Soviet naval forces based on Ganymede is provided by fifteen Project 1208 'Olekma' class Topliva Kombain (Fuel Harvester) in orbit of Jupiter. Each 'Olekma' class is capable of extracting enough gaseous Sorium from the gas giant to produce a quarter of a million litres of fuel per year. Unlike their NATO equivalents, the Soviet fuel harvesters are self-propelled, albeit at very limited speeds. This is partly because the Soviet Navy was reluctant to have such a key support unit entirely dependent on other ships for movement and partly because the Soviet operations around Jupiter are much closer to Earth than the NATO base on Titan.
