Chapter 7 by Rabidwolf Rabidwolf

Equipment and Rank structures.

Equipment.

As the space superiority arm of the Terran Empire's military the majority of the equipment is space ships of a combat nature, though other assets also exist.

The Guardian class Customs Cutter.

The Guardian is a small patrol vessel, which while no longer manufactured has remained in Imperial service due to its speed and maneuverability. It is lightly armed, with two missile tubes, three beam laser batteries, and two pulse laser batteries. Guardians carry ten missiles for their tubes. Over recent years the Guardians have begun experiencing problems as components break down which are no longer produced, forcing the crews to make jury rigged repairs and modify different parts as replacements.

The Enforcer class Patrol Frigate.

The Enforcer is the work horse vessel of the Imperial Navy. The designers who created the Enforcer wanted a vessel that could outfight anything it can't outrun and outrun anything it can't outfight. In that regard they succeeded. The Enforcer is armed with four missile tubes (and carry twenty missiles), six beam laser batteries, and four pulse laser batteries. The Enforcer also mounts a pair of point defence turrets for engaging enemy missiles. The biggest flaw with the Enforcer is the lack of space onboard. Many crew have commented that there is more room aboard a Guardian than there is aboard an Enforcer. This lack of room has also prevented the design from being improved upon.

The Predator class Long Range Destroyer.

The newest and most advanced ship in the Imperial Navy. The Predator is the largest of the patrol ships of the Imperial Navy and usually only entrusted to officers who have demonstrated that the can handle these warships effectively. They are armed with six missile tubes (and carry 36 missiles, 6 of which are "specials" meaning that they carry a nuclear warhead). They also have 7 beam laser batteries, and 5 pulse laser batteries. For missile defence they have six point defence turrets. The Predator is also the first vessel to carry the Tachyon Cannon. The only noted flaw in the design is that it may be to powerful and commanders of these vessels have frequently reported accidently destrying targets they were trying to capture. At this time Imperial Navy Command has had no trouble in accepting these accidents.
