Re'liant Class
 WIP: This article is a work in progress and is not yet approved for usage in the RP. |
The Re'liant Class of multi-purpose starships was created by the Kingdom of Neshaten to fill different rolls within the Navy, these rolls make the ships specialized in those roles while also keeping their outward appearance almost identical to those around them; this means that even if one ship a jammer and the other was an attacker, both ships would almost look no different than one another thanks to the mission sections being nearly identical in appearance. This line of ships was put into service in EE 002.
Class Types
The list below shows the different types that belong to this class. For the sake of avoiding confusion, artwork is modified to show what each type specifies in.
| Role | Type | Brief Description |
|---|---|---|
| Jammer/Disruptor | JD-CC | The JD-23 is a type of Re'liant Class designed to jam enemy communications and disrupt targetting computers. CC Refers to 'Crowd Control' |
| Long Range Strike Artillery | LR-SA | The LR-SA is a long range kinetic-strike artillery |
| Escort Carrier/Tender | EC-TD | The EC-TD is a Re'liant Class designed to support carrier groups and provide supply services for fighter craft |
| Scanner/Early Warning | SE-WC | The SE-WC is a Re'liant Class designed to provide early warning to fleets and to scan for possible hidden enemies |
| Assault Warship | As-Ws | The As-Ws is a Re'liant Class designed for front line duty, possessing plenty of firepower and heavy armour |
| Directed Energy Artillery | DE-AC | The DE-AC is a Re'liant Class designed for the sole-extent of providing a directed artillery weapon. |
| Bulk Freighter Trade Transport | BF-TT | The BF-TT is a Re'liant Civilian Class designed for bulk transport. |
| Heavy Freighter Passenger Transport | HF-PT | The HF-PT is a Re'liant Civilian Class designed for passenger transport. |
| Liquid Freighter Hazardous Transport | LF-HT | The LF-HT is a Re'liant Civilian Class designed to transport liquid's and gases |
| Supply Food Transport Freighter | SF-TF | The SF-TF is a Re'liant Civilian Class designed to transport perishable food items |
Commonalities
All of the class types have things that are in common with one another. This includes crew numbers and the ease of use of the onboard equipment, this makes it easy for crews to be trained to utilize the different modules.
Differences
What makes each class type different is that each one is designed to fulfill a specialized role, however, what makes it hard for enemies to differentiate between the various types is that each module looks exactly alike; right now to the minute details such as window placement.
One thing that also makes it hard to tell apart is what might be real and what might be fake, an example is the EC-TD, which is an escort carrier type, the hanger bays are real and carry actual fighters. However, the other class types - while they have the appearance of hanger bays, that particular hanger bay isn't real but is designed to LOOK real.
Markings placed on each module help Neshaten pilots tell the difference between the different modules, these markings are done in a type of paint, known as char'sha; that is only visible to a nocturnal creature.
Civilian versions of the Re'liant carry obvious differences, such as the absence of communications antenna found on the lower part of the military style of the class and the absence of the three plasma engines. This is done to separate the civilian from the military versions. However, civilian ships have the same weapon turret emplacement positions as the warship version of the Re'liant.
