Information on ships are given from lightest classes to the heaviest.
Strike Craft can range from Gunboats to Frigates, these are the smallest of the warships, the most lightly armed / armored, but are also the fastest and most manuverable. In order for Strike Craft to equal the capabilities of the larger warships, Strike Craft are usually designed specifically for a special role, then used in conjunction with other Strike Craft, an example being a ship designed soley for direct fire with beam weapons flying alongside a ship designed for support with missile barrages.
The SIM-25 Curtana class Monitor utilizes the SIRd-41 Equalizer Raildriver armed on the Crusader Super Dreadnought as a main weapon, which leaves little room for anything else other than two Ripper Railguns. This ship is best used as an artillery ship, as getting too close to the enemy will easily result in the Curtana's destruction. A wing of Curtanas have the combined firepower to take out a destroyer, if it cannot bring weapons to bear in time.
Armaments:
Offensive
1 SIRd-41 Equalizer Raildriver
2 SIRg-29 Ripper Railguns
4 SIPg-63 Lance automatic Pulse Guns
Defensive
4 SIPD-50 Scout Flak Cannons
The SICv-11 Shashka class Corvette is the standard patrol and support ship in the Spootech fleet. While very fast, the Shashka is lightly armed, and extremely fragile and must rely on numbers in a combat situation. An area of concern is the lack of aft weapons coverage, this ship is almost incapable of defending itself from pursuing attackers. However, it has a fairly adequate foward striking capability for its size.
Armaments:
Offensive
1 SIPc-84 Pulverizer rapid-fire Heavy Plasma Cannon
4 SIPc-73 Devastator burst-fire Plasma Cannons
4 SIPg-63 Lance automatic Pulse Guns

The SIFr-41 Broadsword class Missile Frigate was a standard patrol ship unitl it was refitted to operate as a missile platform, with SIML-33 Vindicator Missile Launchers, more powerful than the Avenger with a larger payload and higher rate of fire, several Broadswords can unleash Hell's fury with this weapon alone. The use of a more powerful missile battery makes up for the frailness of the ship's armor.

Taking a more straightfoward approach to fighting the enemy, the SIFr-46 Flamberge class Beam Frigate uses four pulsar beam cannons, named the SIFBr-12 Fury, which unlike the lance beam cannons, fire short, rapid bursts which still have devastating effects, but can do so even to large capital ships, which makes the Flamberge an ideal attack ship in small flight groups with ships that lack heavy firepower. This ship also relies on a Firestorm beam cannon, which makes this ship truly special as no Strike Craft is capable of carrying beam weaponry. Specializing in beam weapons leaves little room for other offensive and defensive weapons, as well as makes this ship slower for its size.

3 SIPc-73 Devastator burst-fire Plasma Cannons

Tactical Warships used to be the most powerful ships until the introduction of Assault Warships, their long service life means their numbers are much greater, and is usually the type of ship to use on a large scale assault. Tactical Warships range from Destroyers of any subclass up to Cruisers of any subclass (Battlecruiser being an exception).
The SIDe-34 Liberty Class Destroyer is smaller than a typical destroyer but has a suprisingly powerful broadside weapon system housing ten SIAc-7 Shadow Cannons, which act like a gatling gauss gun, as well as a pair of Firestorm beam cannons. The Shadow Cannons begin to fire once target lock is aquired but as it fires the weapon's fire rate speed up as the RPM of the barrels increase, the effects can be devastating against groups of small ships.

One of the newer Tactical Ships in Spoot's fleet, the SIDe-38 Independence Class Destroyer is more streamlined than the Liberty, slightly faster and more manuverable. However, the hull is not as strong, considering the Independence is longer in length. For a ship of this size, it is very powerful, with a large number of rapid-firing Plasma Cannons and Autocannons.

The SICa-59 Constitution class Assault Cruiser is the mainstay of Spoot's fleet, upgraded considerably since its first years of production, the Constitution makes use of six SIML-43 Harbinger missile launchers, which fire powerful anti-capital ship torpedoes, along with its four Avenger missile launchers. It also makes use of eight Hailstorm slashing beams to inflict heavy damage to larger ships. Compared to other ships this is a ship worth keeping, and it is highly possible that the Constitution will see many more battles long after the rest of the ships become decomissioned.

Assault Warships are monsterous vessels that are few in number, but extremely powerful with a combination of armor that is nearly impenetrable and weapons arrays that can easily tear ships apart, they are also very sluggish, and easy to outmanuver.
The SIBc-64 Paladin class Battlecruiser is the lightest of the three Super Capital class ships, but that doesn't mean it can't toss out a considerable amount of firepower through its side batteries. The Paladin lacks the missile tubes seen on the other ships, but makes up for it with two batteries of four SIRg-37 Vulcan Railguns on each side.

The SIBs-68 Templar class Battleship uses a modular hull add-on on the port and starboard sections to increase the total weapons capacity and make a truly fearsome ship. An ideal flagship in the fleets of Spoot, the Templar handles very well in any angle, with SIML-26 Avenger missile batteries placed canted to the side of the ship's stern, this makes it very hard to fight from the Templar's six, as well as fatal.

If any pilot stumbles within visual range of the SIDr-71 Inquisitor class Dreadnought, they're already dead. This behemoth sports two SIFB-6VH Hellfire class Lance Beams, along with an experimental XSIFB-13 Inferno beam cannon, which can obliterate hull as if it was paper. From the sides, pilots would have to fare against six SISB-12VH Blizzard slashing beam cannons, and ten SIML-26 Avenger missile pods.

Despite the sheer firepower the Inquisitor is capable of delivering, Spootech Industries began construction of the SISDr-01 Crusader Super Dreadnought, a massive warship almost three times the size of an Inquisitor, and the firepower of two combined. The Crusader also houses two experimental weapons, the XSIFB-66 Lucifer, a weapon frightfully more powerful than the Inferno, and a pair of SIRd-41 Equalizer Raildrivers made to punch through the hulls of smaller ships while taking them out with little effort. It also houses a modified version of the Hellfire beam cannon, with an increased range, but sacrificing damage output and requiring more time to recharge their capacitors. The armor of this ship is estimated to be 150% thicker than the Inquisitor's, and because of its size, it is about half as fast.
