Warship

Type	Role	Compliment	Operators	Example	Notes
Capital Ships
Fleet Dreadnought	Largest warships developed. Without compromise in either armor, armament, or strategic mobility. Intended to serve as flagships for major fleets and task forces, they combine robust anti-starship capabilities with the capacity for sustained aerospace operations or planetary landings.	100-1152 Aerospace Craft 5 - 24 Strike Squadrons 5 - 24 Support Squadrons	Superpowers Some Great Powers	Constellation Class Richelieu Class
Fleet Carrier	Central to fleet aerospace operations. Carry large numbers of strike and support aircraft.	240 - 1728 Aerospace Craft 18 - 36 Strike Squadrons 18 - 36 Support Squadrons	Superpowers Some Great Powers	Nordstern Class
Fleet Landing Ship	Largest vessel designed for planetary landings in contested theaters. Designed to help establish and hold planetary beachheads.	200 - 1440 Aerospace Craft 2 - 12 Strike Squadrons 18 - 48 Support Squadrons	Superpowers Great Powers	Anita Buhur Class
Dreadnought	Anti-starship combatant that combines the capabilities of a battleship with the integrated air-wing of a fleet carrier.	120 - 816 Aerospace Craft 6 - 18 Strike Squadrons 6 - 16 Support Squadrons	Superpowers Great Powers Some Regional Powers	Neptune Class
Battleship	Largest dedicated anti-starship combatant.  Can provide heavy orbital bombardment during planetary assaults.	40 - 336 Aerospace Craft 2 - 10 Strike Squadrons 2 - 4 Support Squadrons	Superpowers Great Powers Some Regional Powers	Stalingrad Class
Battlecruiser	Anti-starship combatant typically smaller in size than Battleships. German standard battlecruisers emphasize close support for the main battle fleet. Often with an increased emphasis on anti-aerospace warfare. British standard battlecruisers or “Capital Scouts” sacrifice armor for speed and strategic mobility. They are designed to conduct solo, long-range patrols and heavy reconnaissance.	30 – 240 Aerospace Craft 2–6 Strike Squadrons 2–6 Support Squadron	Superpowers Great Powers Some Regional Powers Some Middle Powers	Kongō Class
Landing Ship	Designed to support planetary operations, Landing Ships provide the essential link between orbital fleets and surface forces.	80 – 672 Aerospace Craft 2 – 4 Strike Squadrons 6 – 24 Support Squadrons	Superpowers Great Powers Regional Powers Some Middle Powers	Independência Class
Light Fleet Carrier	Light carriers offer limited range but balance high speed and protection.	60 - 432 Aerospace Craft 6 - 18 Strike Squadrons 6 - 18 Support Squadrons	Superpowers Great Powers Regional Powers Some Middle Powers	Nasara Class
Cruisers & Heavy Escorts
Heavy Cruiser	Large, multi-role combatants designed for sustained deep-space operations. They balance firepower, protection, and mobility, serving as commerce raiders, convoy escorts, escorts in larger fleets.	20–160 Aerospace Craft 2–4 Strike Squadrons 2–4 Support Squadrons	Superpowers Great Powers Regional Powers Middle Powers Some Small Powers	Königsberg Class Dhaka class
Landing Cruiser	Versatile vessels equipped to support planetary assault operations, providing both fire support and the rapid deployment of ground forces.		Superpowers Great Powers Regional Powers Middle Powers Some Small Powers PMC Fleets
Scout Cruiser	Larger type of cruiser optimized for extended operations such as convoy escort and deep-space patrols. Designated "patrol cruisers" in some navies,		Superpowers Great Powers Regional Powers Some Middle Powers PMC Fleets
Escort Carrier	Smaller carrier design optimized towards convoy support, planetary landings, and forward operating fleets. Typically lack the strategic endurance or aerospace wing size of fleet carriers but are far less costly to produce and deploy.	30 – 192 Aerospace Craft • 2 – 6 Strike Squadrons • 2 – 6 Support Squadrons	Superpowers Great Powers Regional Powers Some Middle Powers Small Powers PMC Fleets Non-State Actors		Frequently converted from transport or cruiser hulls in less funded navies.
Cruiser	Core warships in most navies. Cruisers balance firepower, speed, and endurance, allowing them to operate independently or as escorts for larger formations. Their missions range from heavy escorts to capital ships, anti-piracy and convoy protection to deep-space patrol and support for planetary landings.	12 – 96 Aerospace Craft• 2 – 4 Strike Squadrons • 2 – 4 Support Squadrons	Superpowers Great Powers Regional Powers Middle Powers Small Powers PMC Fleets Corporate Use Non-State Actors	Bourgogne Class Privateer Vessel Wild Rose	One of the most widely used and versatile hull types in the Orion Arm. Private military companies and violent non state actors often modify surplus cruisers for specialized roles, including commerce raiding and aerospace suppression.
Missile Cruiser	Dedicated long-range fire support platforms emphasizing massed missile saturation attacks over kinetic or airwing capabilities. Often used for anti-ship, anti-aerospace, or planetary bombardment roles. Some navies operate Arsenal Cruisers—specialized variants with minimal crews or full automation. These vessels act as mobile missile magazines, often controlled remotely or semi-autonomously.	6 – 60 Aerospace Craft• 1 – 2 Strike Squadrons • 1 – 4 Support Squadrons Arsenal Subclass None	Superpowers Great Powers Regional Powers Middle Powers PMC Fleets Non-State Actors
Light Cruiser	Smaller cruisers optimized for patrol, escort, and screening operations. Typically deployed in roles where full-size cruisers are not justified or operational tempo demands greater responsiveness. In many doctrines, they serve as command platforms for destroyer squadrons or forward-deployed patrol groups.	8 – 72 Aerospace Craft• 1 – 3 Strike Squadrons • 2 – 4 Support Squadrons	Superpowers Great Powers Regional Powers Middle Powers Small Powers Corporate Use PMC Fleets Non-State Actors	Slavny Class	Light Cruisers are among the most widely deployed warships in the Orion Arm, especially in smaller, less funded fleets. Their adaptability, ease of maintenance, and lower production cost make them attractive not only to nations, but also private military corporations, megacorps and colonial defense forces.
Heavy Arsenal Ship	Compact, missile-focused platforms intended to provide massed fire support in a supporting or stand-off role. Derived from light cruiser or destroyer hulls, these ships carry oversized missile magazines and minimal crew accommodations. They are nearly always operated as drones.	None	Superpowers Great Powers Regional Powers Middle Powers Small Powers PMC Fleets Non-State Actors
Destroyer Leader	Destroyer platforms equipped with flag flacilities, intended to lead escort flotillas or operate independently in complex tactical environments. Some classes are further distinguished by the small onboard aerospace wings, enabling limited strike, reconnaissance, or support operations.	Compliment: 6 – 48 Aerospace Craft • 1 – 2 Strike Squadrons • 1 – 2 Support Squadrons	Superpowers Great Powers Regional Powers Middle Powers Small Powers PMC Fleets Non-State Actors Freelancers		Often used as task group flagships in regions where cruiser availability is limited. Notably popular in Axis doctrine, which emphasizes flexible command architectures and decentralized operations.
Destroyer	Versatile combatants characterized by high maneuverability. Typically assigned to escort, patrol, and interception roles, destroyers are optimized for anti-ship and anti-aerospace warfare. Many classes incorporate modular systems for mission-specific roles such as electronic warfare or missile defense. Form the outermost perimeter of a battlegroup during fleet actions.	4 – 36 Aerospace Craft• 1 – 2 Strike Squadrons • 1 – 2 Support Squadrons	Superpowers Great Powers Regional Powers Middle Powers Small Powers Corporate Use PMC Fleets Non-State Actors Freelancers		Prized for their agility and versatility, destroyers are the workhorses of many green-water navies. Their ability to maneuver rapidly in contested space makes also them ideal for screening formations and conducting pursuit or denial operations.
Heavy Tactical Landing Ship	Heavily armed and armored assault craft designed to insert troops into hostile landing zones while providing direct fire support. Comparable in size to a destroyer, these ships are equipped with substantial surface-attack weaponry and are fully optimized toward atmospheric operations. Typically operate in support of larger landing formations or independent expeditionary units.	6 – 24 Aerospace Craft• 0 – 1 Strike Squadrons • 1 – 2 Support Squadrons Troop Capacity: Reinforced Company (120 – 200 personnel)	Superpowers Great Powers Regional Powers Middle Powers Small Powers Corporate Use PMC Fleets Non-State Actors Freelancers	Al-Mansur TL-94 Heavy Tactical Landing Ship
