United Terran Planets’ Capital Ship Line

Capital Ship Line

United Terran Planet Capital ships fallow the same pattern to be instantly recognizable. Modeled off of old ocean going vessels from old earth, their weapon firing arcs a are maximized in a broadside style attacks. their structure is in a pyramid stepping style to allow for decent fire in all directions. These ships are very modularized and can swap almost all parts out to maximize their effectiveness for each mission. Their guns are considered to be undersized, and specialized to fight below their weight class. Volume of fire wins their combat. Showing up on scene wins the battles.

Ares Battleship

Designed to put 8 capital sized turrets onto a target. Secondary guns are undersized, but specified for anti-fighter coverage. the overall platform is great for policing systems and punches down at smaller ships with ease. If confronted with another battleship, it may not compete without upgrades and sacrificing anti-fighter protection

Orion Battlecruiser

Battlecruisers have battleship caliber guns with cruiser armor. the result is a fast and strong ship. It’s major weakness is if it takes a direct hit from a large caliber weapon, the armor is not there. The Orion is a great capital ship hunter. It can chase most hostile capital ships and eliminate them. As with many UTP ships, great for policing and dealing with pirates.

Leo Cruiser

The Leo Cruiser is a very strong ship. it is over stocked with turrets and able to put out a very heavy volley of fire. The size of the turrets are undersized fallowing in the footsteps of the other ships in the lineup. A pirate or trouble maker will always make sure they do not see one of these in the system. Very few non military ships can compete with the Leo.

Ursa Destroyer

The Ursa is a Destroyer designed to protect the local population from pirating and raiding. it is the smallest size ship that is designed to operate solo. while not ideal in many situations, the Ursa can buy time for other regional assets to get on site to deal with situations.

Scorpius Corvette

The Scorpius is a screening ship. Designed to protect other larger ships from fighters and bombers, it is fast and maneuverable and deviates from the typical UTP design. IT can harass larger ships but should avoid direct fire.

Taurus Frigate

Taurus Frigates are great at protecting other ships and reacting to enemy tactics. Designed to only to eliminate smaller craft, none of the weapons should make a mark on other capital ships. hostile fighters avoid the Taurus at all cost. The Taurus got it’s name from it’s head on attack runs into long looping turn arounds, it was not originally names the Taurus.

Andromeda Super Carrier

The Andromeda super carrier are designed to bring air superiority to a system. The carrier can defend itself from torpedo and bomber attacks. Ridiculous amounts of close in weapon systems and anti-fighter turrets keep this ship safe. it’s ship to ship weakness is other capital ships, but the andromeda should never be alone.

Aquarius Escort Carrier

The Aquarius is designed to provide 16 aircraft to the local needs.

Piccies Transport

Military designed transport

Gemini Light Transport

Designed to get equipment and troops from location A to location B.
