Hydra Class Destroyer
Crew: 236
Passengers: 14
Armament: Surface-to-Air Missiles (36: top - vertical launch); 76mm Deck Gun (6: sides); Dual .50 cal Gatling Guns (2: sides; 1 front)
Description: The Hydra Class Destroyer was developed for heavy combat operations during the Ice Cold War. The ship is noted for its low surface silhouette and completely enclosed deck. This makes it difficult to detect at long range and enables the destroyer to completely submerge below the surface of the water for short distances. The clear side panes retract enabling the crew to engage in combat operations. It features a revolutionary rubber polymer coating on the entire outer hull and deck frame of the ship making it resistant to electrical and energy based attacks. There is currently only one ship operating in the navy. Two more are held in reserve in dry-dock at the naval yards in the event they are needed.

Gemini Class Corvette
Crew: 2
Passengers: 2
Armament: Heavy Blaster (front); Barracuda Torpedo Tubes (2: bottom - 5 torpedoes); .50 cal (top-hatch)
Description: The Gemini Class Corvette is a small, maneuverable, lightly armed ship capable of navigating shallow waters and providing escort support for larger ships. The ship was designed for its low visibility and stealth technology. It has the ability to skim below the surface of the water for short distances to avoid visual detection. It can also extend two hydrofoil blades raising it almost completely out of the water to avoid torpedoes and mines.

Draco Class Carrier
Crew: 1
Passengers: 5
Armament: Oars (2: sides); Outboard Motor (rear)
Description: The Draco Class Carrier is used to transport light infantry units through relatively calm waters. The ship is noted for its ease of operation and low construction and maintenance costs. It is an extremely lightweight ship which contributes to its speed and maneuverability. The ship utilizes two methods of power which provide either increased speed or silent running capabilities.

Orion Class Submarine
Crew: 135
Passengers: 10
Armament: StingRay Torpedo Tubes (4: front; 1: rear - missile count undisclosed); Landshark Ballistic Missile Tubes (16: top - 16 missiles)
Description: The Orion Class Submarine is a nuclear submarine built during the Ice Cold War. They were completed near the end of the war and saw limited action, but were essential to controlling Fugative Harbour and Pottsylvania supply lines. The submarines are armed with both torpedoes and missiles, enabling them to strike targets on land, sea, and below. They are power full enough to strike at targets throughout most of the United States of America and Canada from Frostbite Falls. They have an unlimited range and can stay submerged for up to 20 years. In the open waters of the ocean they can strike at nearly any target and every major city should the need arise. The Grand Duchy has two ships of this class activated in His Grace's Navy, one in Lake of the Woods and one in Fugative Harbour, with 3 more deactivated ships docked at Innie Naval Base. There are rumors of an additional ship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean, but the existence is unconfirmed and all information regarding this subject is classified.

Lyra Class Submarine
Crew: 5
Passengers: 4
Defenses: Anti-Sonar Device
Description: The Lyra Class Submarine is a reconnaissance submarine. It has sonar masking technology which makes it invisible to nearly all forms of detection when underwater. It is only visible to highly attuned equipment, and even then the ship appears as nothing more then a school of fish. This enables it to slip across enemy lines and gather intelligence and deploy troops. Unfortunately, firing torpedoes knocks out the anti-sonar momentarily making it visible and allowing for continued detection. For this reason the submarine has no permanent armaments, though a blaster cannon can be mounted on its conning tower.

Pisces Class Submarine
Crew: 3
Passengers: 16
Armament: Barracuda Torpedo Tubes (2: front - 10 torpedoes)
Description: The Pisces Class Submarine is based on submarine designs used by Pottsylvania during the Ice Cold War. It is modified from passenger/cargo submarines designed to avoid the mines that permeate surface of Fugative Harbour. What it lacks in firepower, it more than makes up for it maneuverability. It can easily out flank most larger sea vessels to gain a tactical advantage.

Crew: 5+2
Passengers: 18
Armament: Proton Torpedoes (4: wings); Dual Laser Cannon (turret-mount, bottom); Heavy Blaster Cannon (2: front); Cluster Bombs (rear); Tractor Beam (bottom)
Description: The Firefly Class Battleship is the nation's heavy fighter. It is designed for interstellar travel and combat. It can maneuver equally well in space or in the air. It is able two support two Wasp fighters in its hull, to deploy when in combat. Currently two ships are in service: one stationed above Earth (HGS Oriskany) and one is on a exploration mission (HGS Ticonderoga).

Wasp Class Fighter
Crew: 1
Passengers: 0
Armament: Twin Proton Torpedoes (wings); Laser Cannon (turret-mount, bottom)
Description: The Wasp Class Fighter is the main combative ship in the Space Fleet of the Royal Navy. The fighter is capable of interstellar travel, though it generally relies on docking ships for such trips in order to conserve power for combat. Currently, the bulk of the fleet is in storage with only one wing active, which is used for escort protection of diplomatic transports.

Dragonfly Class Transport
Crew: 4
Passengers: 10
Armament: Dual Laser Cannons (2: wings; 2: sides); Blaster Cannons (2: front; 1: rear)
Description: The Dragonfly Class Transport is the primary ship used for interstellar travel in the Grand Duchy. The bulk of the ships in service to the nation are used by foreign diplomats as a means of traveling to other solar systems. The passenger compartment of each ship is designed to provide a meeting room for diplomatic negotiations and can be modified to suit the needs of the mission or diplomat. While they possess formidable offense firepower, this is a necessity to protect the ship from attack. The ship's speed enables it to outrun most starfighters with its armament used to punch a hole in the enemy lines.

Moth Class Transport
Crew: 42
Passengers: 10
Armament: Proton Torpedoes (4: sides); Heavy Plasma Cannons (2: front; 2: rear); Tractor Beam
Description: The Moth Class Transport is the primary ship used for intergalactic travel in the Grand Duchy. The ships are used for both scientific exploration and diplomatic missions beyond the range of the Dragonfly Class ships. The ship is designed to be completely self-sufficient for a period ten years while exploring uncharted and potentially hostile regions of space. To this end the engine room comprises over 40% of the ship as it must be able to maintain the life-support system and shield generators running at full strength for the duration of the mission. The ship also features a wormhole inducer allowing it to create a series of sequential wormholes in the time-space continuum to facilitate faster travel across greater distances.

Termite Class Transport
Crew: 2
Passengers: 4
Armament: Wormhole Generator
Description: The Termite Class Transport is a ship capable of generating sustainable wormholes in the time-space continuum. Using the Correspondence 6 wormhole generator, the Termite class is able to fold space around a hole allowing near instantaneous travel between any two known points in space. The ship is able to maintain a stable wormhole allowing multiple ships to utilize the wormhole. The ship is able to keep the hole open so long as it is able to maintain power to its generators. Additionally, once the ship enters the wormhole space begins to unfold behind it. The ship is still operating in its experimental phase, but it essential to the Grand Duchy's planned colonization efforts.
