SHIPS OF THE LINE 2

   Since the beginning of the Pact of Humanity’s foundation, the Navy has been an integral part of building and protecting the thousands of worlds that the Pact encompasses, from the far flung borders arrayed near Dionii space to the hostile regions near the Holot border. Naval construction has grown and ebbed as crises’ have appeared and waned to the Pact of Humanity, and varying sizes of warships have been favored over others during each different conflict. The outbreak of the Civil War within the Pact have strained its military forces to the breaking point, creating opportunities for new naval designs to be fielded. The Battle Platform ideas was first fielded by Admiral Hiroshi Matsumoto, who continues to labor in the Yorkham Naval Depot in Yorkham Cluster. He first developed the Annihilator-class Battle Platform to force open vital warp points that had been heavily mined and fortified. The Annihilator’s are a very deadly platform, and their very slow speed is what differenciates between a battle platform and a standard supermonitor, whose hull it is built upon.

Battle platforms are very specialized designs, are generally                       A anti-minefield platform that is designed 

used just once, and are extremely slow. The Annihilator                  to enter minefields and soak up damage,

is a devastating platform against fortified warp points,              thus clearing a path through the field. except when a WP is defended by BS4 or larger(the missile              The Legacy-class can also soak up

volleys of BS4s easily overwhelm the Annihilator’s screens).             DSB fire as well.

This specific design has not been tested yet.

PACT NAVY DRONES

   Drones are a new and important part of the Pact Navy’s response to the Civil War, enabling the service to conduct very long ranged strikes(system wide), monitoring enemy forces using the Hawkeye or Spyeye drones, and decimating light forces and warp point defenses(they are warp capable). Most Pact drones move at speed 7 and are different than combat wasps and fighter by the fact that they have high endurance engines, enabling them to transit several systems before finally expending their fuel supply. Drones are typically mounted on XO Racks or in Drone Bays, with the laser, lamprey, and anti-fighter drones being the most popular.

CHEETAH-CLASS SYSTEM DEFENSE BOAT

   The Cheetah-class SDB is a radical design away from traditional warship construction within the Pact Navy. The newly built tactical engines enable the Cheetah-class to far out-surpass conventional ship movements. In fact, a Cheetah-class SDB has double the over-take speed of a standard destroyer, and its kinetic gun firepower makes it one of the best platforms seen in years.
