The Midu Agashaam-class Destroyer is a 3,000 dT warship built for ruthless efficiency, a product of an era when the Galactic Imperium demanded vessels that could strike hard and fast across the stars. It combines Thrust-6 and Jump-4, allowing it to operate independently or in fleet actions with impressive speed and reach. Its most distinctive feature is the prow-mounted Particle Beam Accelerator Bay, a devastating weapon capable of ripping through heavy armor in a single shot. Supporting this firepower are six triple missile rack turrets, providing long-range striking capability, while eight triple beam laser turrets ensure it remains lethal in close engagements. Though its design is centuries old, the Midu Agashaam remains in service among successor states that can maintain its demanding systems. Those who face it in battle quickly learn that age has not dulled its fangs, this destroyer still carries the Imperium’s legacy of relentless firepower and unwavering dominance.

The Hardcell-Class Strike Destroyer is a 5,000 dT warship designed for independent operations and fleet support, optimized for Tech Level 10-11 maintenance. Its streamlined spire-like hull allows planetary landings, while Thrust-5 and Jump-2 ensure strategic mobility. Armed with three heavy particle beam cannons at the prow, three small missile bays, and 18 triple beam-lasers and sandcaster turrets, it delivers sustained firepower. 24 point-defense laser batteries provide robust anti-missile coverage. Advanced military-grade sensors and computers enhance battlefield awareness. Docking space for six 50 dT small craft, eight internal 10 dT ground vehicles, and 215 dT cargo capacity support extended deployments. It carries 108 crew and 120 Marines, ensuring effectiveness in both ship-to-ship combat and planetary assault. Designed for durability and ease of upkeep, the Hardcell-Class is a practical choice for smaller interstellar powers looking to field a modern and competitive warship against higher-tech adversaries.

The Perseus-class Cruiser is a relic of the Galactic Imperium’s golden age, a powerful warship that still commands respect among the polities wealthy enough to maintain it. Built on a 6,800 dT streamlined hull, it was designed for deep-space operations, combining formidable firepower with long-range endurance. With a thrust rating of 6 and Jump-4 capability, it remains a swift and capable vessel, able to respond rapidly across vast distances. Though its technology is no longer cutting-edge, the Perseus remains a symbol of prestige and power. Its thick armor and reinforced internal structure allow it to endure punishing engagements, while its advanced sensor suites and electronic warfare systems, cutting-edge in their time, still provide a tactical edge. For those who can afford the upkeep, the Perseus is more than just a warship; it is a statement of authority, a lingering shadow of the Imperium’s former might.
