Sovereign Aurelian Republic
A brutal fascist dictatorship that seeks nothing less than their complete and utter domination of the entire galaxy under their aegis. It is to this end that they have poured their resources into designing and building their massive, technologically-advanced warfleet.
Ships:
CV01 Lightning Gunship
Hull: 200
Speed: 5.75
Turning: 2.75
Accel: 0.30
Armament:
3x Tiny Laser
1x Light Laser
The smallest warship in service with the Republic's navy, the
Lightning is used both to hunt down other light vessels and to harrass larger ships.
DD01 Whirlwind Destroyer
Hull:450
Speed: 2.50
Turning: 0.85
Accel: 0.20
Armament:
2x Hailstorm LRM
3x Medium Laser
4x Light Laser
Whirlwind-class combat destroyers form the core of the Republican fleets. With excellent speed and armour, a versatile armament useful at all ranges against a variety of targets, and (relatively) low production costs, it is not hard to see why it is favored.
BC01 Tempest Battlecruiser
Hull: 450
Speed: 3.00
Turning: 1.00
Accel: 0.15
Armament:
7x Twin Light Laser
Built as a dedicated hunter of lighter craft, the
Tempest fufils this role spectacularly. 7 oversized engines allow this vessel to outpace most destroyers, while 14 light lasers in dual turrets give her the close-range firepower so feared by the Rebublic's enemies. Unfortunately, this performance comes at a price: The
Tempest is notably lacking in armour, and the ship's cost has restricted deployments of this impressive vessel.
Edit: Dammit BSF, mirror stuff properly!
