EARTH ALLIANCE

EA Phalanx Battleship [Alpha] -- [Updated 5/29/01]
EA Phalanx Battleship [Delta] -- [Added 5/29/01]

At the height of the Dilgar Invasion EarthForce realized that the Nova Dreadnoughts were too specialized for modern high intensity combat situations. Too many Novas were lost when their escorting fighters were drawn away or destroyed. Mainly because the slow recharge rate of the Medium Lasers left them helpless against fast moving enemy ships and fighters.

After a rapid RFP process a new ship capable of engaging a Mishakur in a toe to toe slugging match with or without it's fighters or other support. Using both the latest technology and the most tried and true weapons, the Phalanx was the most flexibly armed ship the EA had ever even considered building. With the rapid pace of the Dilgar collapse after EF intervention in the war, neither of the first two ships (Phalanx and Hood) were completed in time to see action. The other 6 keels laid down, in various stages of construction, were set aside until EF could decide whether or not to purchase them. One of these hulls, the Uganda, was completed in 2244 as a Beta model. This model basically revamped the entire weapons complement. The Plasma weapons were replaced with Med Pulse Cannons and the Particle Cannons with Heavy Pulse Cannon.

You'll need one Hyperion and one Poseidon kit as well as 2 long barreled laser/pulse arrays as well as a couple of small turrets.
STEP 1) cut the Hyperion hull in half right behind the control tower/gun turrets, BE VERY CAREFUL not to damage the girder section under the shuttle bay. Clip off the small section with all the horizontal ridges.
STEP 2) build the front hull and the engine pod of the Poseidon, but do not attach any of the turrets.
STEP 3) glue the front hull of the Hyperion to the _back_ of the Poseidon's front hull. The retro thrusters of the Poseidon should be on the bottom.
STEP 4) glue the engine pod of the Poseidon to the Hyperion rear hull were you would usually attach the thrusters.
STEP 5) the upper and lower supports on the Hyperion rear hull are then glued onto the front half, into the center shuttle bay openings.
STEP 6) glue the two LPAs to the sides of the Poseidon front hull, in about the middle, facing forward. Add additional turrets to taste.

EA Omega Destroyer [Delta model] -- [Added 4/03/01]
Following the succes of the Command variant Omega Destroyer, EarthForce commisioned the Omega-Delta. The flexibility of the Laser/Pulse Arrays more than make up for any additional maintenance needs. So far there are only a few Deltas in service, but following glowing trials and even a few combat situations (still classified) this model should become increasingly common over the next few years.

(This ship is a really effective addition to the OMEGA family. The Med Laser mode on the arrays gives the same range as a Hvy Pulse (-1 per 2 hexes) but the rapid recharge of the Med Pulse mode increases firepower when the range has closed as well as better AAA capabilities.)

EA Hyperion Scout Cruiser -- [Added 4/03/01]
During the R&D boom of the Dilgar War, EarthForce commisioned a new scout cruiser suitable for combat fleet support. The chosen design was simply an upgrade of the Hyperion Heavy Cruiser as this meant ships would be ready in a minimum amount of time. The HyperScout was designed to be more surviable in the fighter heavy battlespace of the 23rd century, it also moved the entire ELINT array into a single primary system. Even though the first ship was not ready in time to serve in the war, the HyperScout is a popular and effective design. Its improved ELINT systems are still weak compared to the ships of the other major powers. This SCS is for the final post-war update on this hull, staying in step with the Hyperion-Theta.

EA Centaur Attack Frigate -- [Updated 3/27/01]
The Centaur class Frigate is designed to provide maximum support in both line and escort missions. These ships are often paired with the aging Artemis class heavy frigates in high speed hunter killer groups. The heavy missile load provides superior stand-off range capability with the forward laser battery used mainly to close the deal.

EA Phoenix Missile Cruiser -- [Added 3/26/01]
After the Earth-Minbari War EarthForce began a rebuilding program centered on the new Omega class. During the years it took to get the destroyers up and running the EA built updated versions of the prewar designs of ships such as the Hyperion, Olympus and Sagittarius. Since none of the Sagittarius class missile cruisers had survived the war, EF decides to rename the new ships as the Phoenix class Missile Cruiser. Developments in weapons technology allowed the Sagittarius hull to upgraded with the new MkII Interceptors as well as additional antifighters weapons. Some of the other perceived weaknesses in the Sagittarius where glossed over by the application of heavier armor to several critical systems.

EA Nova-Delta Dreadnought -- [Added 3/26/01]
The greatest weaknesses of the Nova class Dreadnoughts are its relatively short range and slow rate of fire. The Delta modifications is an attempt to rectify both of these problems as well as giving the old ships a little more flexibility. The two broadside Laser/Pulse Arrays are replaced with Class-R missile racks that can be loaded with any of the missiles in the EA inventory. Captain's of Nova-Ds are especially fond of the Sony SSM-236ER-2 "Long Lance" long range anti-ship missile. (four or more of these are well worth the points)


NARN REGIME

Narn G'Keth Heavy Cruiser -- [Added 4/07/01]
The G'Keth class heavy cruiser was designed to take advantage of the ease of construction of the T'Loth style of ship. With a pair of Heavy Lasers and two Ion Torpedoes for long range work, and room for 18 fighters in its shuttle bay the G'Keth has excellent firepower during the merge. The two Heavy Plasma Cannon allow the G'Keth to tear apart any enemy ship that survives to close the range. While not quite as maneuverable as the G'Quan series of cruisers the G'Keth's heavier firepower and fighter capacity more than makes up for that deficiency

(this SCS is based on a ship I saw on Hyperion's web page (http://hyperion.mystarship.com/tvar.htm). I liked the look of the conversion so I came up with this ship.)




UPDATED PHOTON TORPEDO RULES

When a Photon torpedo strikes a ship with active EM, Gravitic or Deflector shields in that arc, damage is resolved as a FLASH mode weapon. The E-web on Interceptor equipped ships does not count as shielding for this purpose. If the target is unshielded, either in that arc or altogether, the damage is resolved in as a STANDARD mode attack.

UNITED FEDERATION OF PLANETS

UFP Northhampton Mk III. Class X Frigate -- [Updated 2/10/01]
The Frigate is used as the rapid response ship by Starfleet, as well as an important supplement to the Cruiser classes in time of war. The Northhampton was designed by and is built in the Federation shipyards orbiting Mars. These ships mount the most powerful phasers in the UFP arsenal, and have three medium photon torpedoes firing forward for an impressive offensive punch. The Northhampton class also carries 220 Starfleet marines for landing and boarding operations.

UFP Constitution Mk III. Class XI Cruiser -- [Updated 2/11/01]
C'mon, do I really need to say anything about these ships? ;-)

UFP Enterprise Class XI Cruiser -- [Updated 2/11/01]
The newest and most powerful cruiser in Starfleet's inventory. Lacking only in rearward firepower this Cruiser can defeat nearly any other ship with ease.

UFP Andor Class IX Missile Cruiser -- [Updated 2/11/01]
The ultimate torpedo boat. The Andor class missile cruiser is, unsurprisingly, designed and built by the Andorians. With the ability to crush a target with up to 6 Photons, the Andor can deliver the decisive blow in nearly any battle. The classes one weakness is its single phaser bank. This can make the ship vulnerable to attach from large numbers of small attackers.

UFP Larson Class VII Destroyer -- [Updated 2/11/01]
The Larson class destroyer has been one of the most successful ship classes in UFP history. Beginning with the Four Years War and serving thru the current day, these quick little ships carry a heavy punch.

UFP Reliant Class XI Cruiser -- [Updated 2/11/01]
The Reliant is an upgrade of the old Anton class in the same way the Enterprise is an upgraded Constitution class. These vessels serve the same role as the heavier cruisers, exploration and combat, and has nearly the same firepower.

UFP Scorpio Mk1. Class II Corvette


KLINGON EMPIRE

Klingon L2-4A Komo Val Class XIII Battleship -- [New 6/27/01]
The Klingon's built this ship to remain competitive with the newer, larger Federation and Romulan warships. The Ever-Victorious is more than capable of crushing any cruiser and should be treated with extreme caution even by captains of Excelsior battleships.

Klingon D-7M K't'inga Class IX Cruiser -- [Updated 2/11/01]
When you say Klingon ship you think D-7. Agile, dangerous and and easily the most common Klingon warship. A wolfpack of 3 of these ships is every lone starship captain's nightmare.

Klingon D-18B Lara'atan Destroyer -- [Updated 2/11/01]
The workhorse destroyer of the Klingon fleet. The D-18B can hold its own against even some of the lighter cruisers of the UFP and Romulan navies.

Klingon D-20D Death Rite Cruiser -- [Updated 2/11/01]
The D-20 class of cruiser was built to both supplement and replace the D-7s. Though a slightly lighter ship the D-20 has heavier shielding and better all around firepower. Many a captain has been surprised by the heavy, aft firing KD-8 disruptor. The D-20 has never quite lived up to more popular D-7s in the minds of the Klingon Admiralty.

Klingon K-22B D'Gavama Class V Scout -- [Updated 2/11/01]
The ship the Romulans wish they had never parted with. These fast little scouts are among the first Klingon ships to be equipped with a cloaking device.


ROMULAN STAR EMPIRE

Romulan V-7t1 (Whitewind) Cruiser -- [Updated 2/11/01]

Romulan V-7t3 Aye Mosaram (Whitewind) Cruiser -- [Updated 2/11/01]
This class of Romulan cruisers is probably one of their most successful. With heavy firepower and a long cruising range the ships perform the role filled by the D-7 in the Klingon fleet. The type 3 replaces the RPL-2 plasma launcher with 3 (2 fwd, 1 aft) photon torpedoes and a forward firing RB-9 disruptor bank. These modifications make an already dangerous ship even more of a threat.

Romulan V-30 Vas'Deletham (Winged Defender) Cruiser -- [Updated 2/11/01]
The most powerful ship in the Romulan Navy. These ships are thought to even be a match for the Federation's vaunted Enteprise class.

Romulan T-5 Ocala Sindari (Fire Swarm) Destroyer -- [Updated 2/11/01]
One of the modern generation of Romulan designs, the Fireswarm is a deadly opponent with its 4 disruptor banks and forward firing photon torpedo tube. One of these little ships is bad enough, but as the class name implies they tend to operate in groups.
