08 Medium Blaster
08 Heavy Blaster
02 Anti-Missile Launcher
20 Laser Autocannon

Small Craft & Ordnance
08 Interceptors
04 Standard Shuttles
01 Large Shuttles

Note: Flag vessel of Third Emperor Eighth Dawn. Famous as one of the largest and most heavily protected Loroi vessels ever built, she was lost in 2140 when the Emperor's personal squadron was forced into action at the Tinza line.

Eye of Heaven

Weapon Mounts
02 Wave-Loom Device
20 Heavy Blaster
12 Medium Laser
02 Torpedo Launchers

Note: Flagship of Admiral Sunfall during the Tithric and Semoset campaigns. Destroyed in 2146 during the collapse of the Nelain salient during the Battle of the Tasinei Ways.

Lone Fire

Weapon Mounts
08 Heavy Blaster
04 Medium Blaster
08 Pulse Cannon
24 Laser Autocannon
01 Anti-Missile Launcher

Small Craft & Ordnance
04 Standard Shuttles
01 Large Shuttles
100 AMM Missiles

Note: Post-Semoset command ship design, heavier and better armed than its predecessors, which abandoned the wave loom and the raw speed of the Vortex in favor of better protection.

Vortex Mk.2

Weapon Mounts
01 Wave-Loom Device
04 Heavy Blaster
08 Pulse Cannon
12 Laser Autocannon
01 Anti-Missile Launcher
08 Interceptors
01 Warhead Launcher

Small Craft & Ordnance
08 Interceptors
05 Standard Shuttles
01 Large Shuttle
24 MR Torpedoes
100 AMM Missiles

Note: Commissioned in 2145, Vortex was the first vessel to carry both the heavy Wave Loom device and the new Pulse Cannons. Like its contemporary Saber battlecruiser, Vortex was fast but poorly protected and suffered disproportionate losses during the Semoset campaign. In 2152-4 there was a short run of improved models serving as command ships for fast strike groups, ending with Tempest, the last surviving ship of the class.

Halberd Mk.17

Weapon Mounts
16 Heavy Blasters
10 Laser Autocannon
01 Anti-Missile Launcher
02 Warhead Launchers

Small Craft & Ordnance
04 Standard Shuttles
48 MR Torpedoes
64 AMM Missiles

Note: The frequently-updated but aging Halberd class has been the backbone of the Loroi fleet for much of the war, but few survive to the present.

Greatsword

Weapon Mounts
02 External Ordnance racks
04 Pulse Cannons
04 Superheavy Blasters
04 Heavy Blasters
08 Medium Blasters
09 Laser Autocannon
02 Anti-Missile Launchers
01 Warhead Launcher

Small Craft & Ordnance
05 Standard Shuttles
24 MR Torpedoes
128 AMM Missiles

Note: Greatsword is the standard main-line battleship for the Loroi fleet, designed to replace the hardy but aging Halberd. It lacks the speed of the raider vessels, but has formidable offensive and defensive capabilities, and can stand toe-to-toe with Umiak heavy units.

Vanguard

Weapon Mounts
06 Medium Blaster
08 Pulse Cannon
10 Laser Autocannon
01 Anti-Missile Launcher

Small Craft & Ordnance
06 Standard Shuttles
64 AMM Missiles

Note: A class of fast battleship designed to provide heavy firepower, and to be able to keep up with the fast-reaction interdiction strike groups. It is a derivative of the Vortex class, but more up to date and better protected.

Katana

Weapon Mounts
01 External Ordnance rack
06 Medium Blaster
04 Pulse Cannon
06 Laser Autocannon
01 Anti-Missile Launcher
02 Warhead Launcher

Small Craft & Ordnance
03 Standard Shuttles
30 MR Torpedoes
64 AMM Missiles

Note: New class of large, fast oversized cruisers with heavy firepower and good protection. Though they do not have the firepower of the Vanguard-class battlecruisers, these "war cruisers" are much less expensive to produce.

Wavestrider 

Weapon Mounts
04 Medium Blaster
06 Laser Autocannon
02 Anti-Missile Launcher

Small Craft & Ordnance
38 Fighters*
04 Standard Shuttles
192 AMM Missiles

Note: *Mix of Interceptors, Attack Craft and Heavy Fighters.

The fast Strike Carrier was designed to be able to keep up with mobile strike groups and provide fighter cover equivalent to that of a heavy carrier. The reduced role played by fighters post-Semoset has led to few of these expensive units being produced.

Scimitar Mk.3

Weapon Mounts
04 Heavy Blaster
04 Medium Blaster
02 Pulse Cannon
07 Laser Autocannon
01 Anti-Missile Launcher
01 Warhead Launcher

Small Craft & Ordnance
03 Standard Shuttles
12 MR Torpedoes
64 AMM Missiles

Note: An oft-improved fast heavy escort vessel; this is the standard medium combat vessel of the fleet. With its pulse cannons, this cruiser-class vessel has the firepower to engage capital-class targets.

Rapier

Weapon Mounts
12 Medium Blasters
12 Laser Autocannon
02 Anti-Missile Launchers

Small Craft & Ordnance
02 Standard Shuttles
200 AMM Missiles

Note: A cruiser-class fleet escort vessel, dedicated to formation defense rather than offense.

Catapult

Weapon Mounts
05 Laser Autocannon

Small Craft & Ordnance
40 Fighters*
04 Standard Shuttles

Note: *Mix of Interceptors, Attack Craft and Heavy Fighters

An aging heavy carrier class, slow and with little weaponry. Heavy carriers are mostly used for fleet defense and system assault, and often carry atmospheric aircraft, armored units and troop deployment vehicles.

Weapon Mounts
04 Pulse Cannon
06 Laser Autocannon

Small Craft & Ordnance
06 Interceptors
04 Standard Shuttles

Note: Fielded in very large numbers during the Semoset campaign (2144-2146), the Saber was a hybrid battlecruiser/carrier, and one of the first Loroi vessels to mount the new Pulse Cannons. Fast and well armed, it was poorly protected and suffered terrible losses in massed fleet battles at the close of the Semoset offensive. Like the Vortex class, after Semoset the Saber was restricted to fast attack duty. 

Cutlass
"Binessit"
Class: Light Cruiser (CL)

Weapon Mounts
09 Heavy Blaster
10 Laser Autocannon
01 Warhead Launcher

Small Craft & Ordnance
02 Standard Shuttles

Hailstorm 

Weapon Mounts
04 Laser Autocannon
01 Anti-Missile Launcher

Small Craft & Ordnance
20 Fighters*
04 Standard Shuttles
26 AMM Missiles

Note: *Mix of Interceptors & Attack Craft.

Warhammer

Weapon Mounts
08 Medium Blasters
04 Laser Autocannon 
01 Anti-Missile Launcher
01 Warhead Launcher

Small Craft & Ordnance
02 Standard Shuttles
18 MR Torpedoes
64 AMM Missiles

Note: The Warhammer is the standard military escort vessel of the Loroi Fleet. Still relatively new, it has already been produced in vast numbers. Its primary role is as a gunboat-killer, but it also has good point-defense capability against torpedoes.

Curved Knife

Weapon Mounts
02 Heavy Blasters
08 Laser Autocannon
01 Anti-Missile Launcher
02 Warhead Launchers

Small Craft & Ordnance
02 Standard Shuttles
36 AMM Missiles

Note: A heavy fire support destroyer.

Blaze

Weapon Mounts
01 Torpedo Launchers
02 Medium Blasters
06 Laser Autocannon
01 Anti-Missile Launcher
01 Warhead Launchers

Small Craft & Ordnance
02 Standard Shuttles
36 AMM Missiles

Trade Wind

Weapon Mounts
03 Laser Autocannon

Note: Tankers can be very important to extending the range of combat squadrons, but their poor acceleration and vulnerability to enemy fire can make them a tactical liability. 

Hidden Dagger

Weapon Mounts
02 Laser Autocannon

Herald

Weapon Mounts
02 Laser Autocannon

Note: These small, fast, minimally armed vessels are used in large numbers for courier duty. Because of the lack of FTL communications, messages can only travel at the speed of the fastest ship.

Zephyr
"Legilinzil"
Class: Freighter

Small Craft
02 Standard Shuttles
02 Heavy Shuttles

Sojourner

Small Craft
02 Standard Shuttles
04 Atmospheric Shuttles

Anvil

Small Craft
02 Atmospheric Shuttles
02 Dropships

Weapon Mounts
02 Laser Cannon
01 Laser PD Turrets
04 Weapon Hardpoints

Note: Fighters do not have jump drives, and carry only limited fuel, so are dependent on carrier craft. As fighters are too small to carry inertial dampers, Loroi fighter pilots wear a hardsuit filled with a liquid breathing medium to allow them to withstand the extreme stresses of acceleration.

Arrow
"Poii"
Class: Light Interceptor
Length: 30 m
Crew: 1
Screens: none

Weapon Mounts
02 Laser PD Turrets
02 Weapon Hardpoints

Note: This versatile light fighter lacks the extended range and endurance of the larger Tornado, but is compact and can be carried by many types of warships in place of a standard shuttle. It is most often deployed in the point defense role, armed with 6 AMM missiles.

Weapon Mounts
01 PD Laser Turret
08 Weapon Hardpoints

Note: Each fighter hardpoint can mount a single short-range torpedo, a rack of 3 AMM missiles, or a specialty ordnance module. Attack craft are equipped with defensive screens.

Weapon Mounts
03 Laser Cannon
06 Weapon Hardpoints

Note: The heavy fighter is a dual-role craft that can perform either in the role of interceptor or attack craft. 

Standard
"Nistil"
Class: Utility Shuttle
Length: 30 m
Crew: 2
Passengers: 2 Crew Units or 1 Security Unit
Screens: none
Max. Acceleration: 18 G*
Fuel Capacity: 100

Note: *10 G Max with unprotected passengers. This general-purpose shuttle is carried by most Loroi warships, and used for a variety of missions. It has minimal streamlining to allow for safe planetary landings, but is intended primarily for exo-atmospheric use.

Conveyer
"Mizito"
Class: Heavy Transport Shuttle (Cargo Lighter)
Length: 60 m
Crew: 2-4
Passengers: 4 Crew Units or 2 Security Units
Screens: Class i
Max. Acceleration: 15 G*
Fuel Capacity: 200

Note: *10 G Max with unprotected passengers. The Conveyer has a large heated, pressurized cargo space that is intended for bulk supplies, but can be reconfigured to carry personnel. The hull is not streamlined, so this shuttle cannot enter atmosphere except under emergency conditions.

Slipper
"Lillit"
Class: Trans-Atmospheric Shuttle
Length: 30 m
Crew: 2
Passengers: 2 Crew Units or 1 Security Units
Screens: none
Max. Acceleration: 10 G
Fuel Capacity: 50

Note: This is a streamlined craft designed for planetary landings and takeoffs. It has limited performance and endurance outside atmosphere. Most commonly carried by orbital stations.

Highland
"Rosanrer"
Class: VIP Transport Shuttle (Pinnace)
Length: 60 m
Crew: 2-10
Passengers: 2 Crew Units or 1 Security Units
Screens: Class i
Max. Acceleration: 20 G
Fuel Capacity: 200

Note: This large transport is streamlined for atmospheric operation and is equipped with an inertial damper to allow for extended high-acceleration with passengers. Its size and cost tends to limit its allocation to bases and large command ships.

Weapon Mounts
01 Laser Cannon

Note: *10 G Max with unprotected passengers.
