24x3 Laser Autocannon
01x6 Anti-Missile Launcher

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

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

Vortex Mk.2
"Notel-Z"
Class: Group Command Ship (GCS)
Length: 750 m
Dry Weight: 1,200 kt
Crew: 800
Screens: Class III
Max. Acceleration: 30 G
Armor Rating: 112
ECM Rating: 110

Weapon Mounts
01 VAS Wave-Loom Device
02x2 Heavy Blaster
04x2 Pulse Cannon
12x3 Laser Autocannon
01x6 Anti-Missile Launcher
01 Warhead Launcher

Small Craft & Ordnance
08 Interceptors
05 Standard Shuttles
01 Large Shuttle
48 Torpedoes
150 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 to serve as command ships for fast strike groups, and the few surviving members of the original class were refitted this standard. Tempest is now the last surviving ship of the class.

Halberd Mk.17
"Lerril-ZP"
Class: Battleship (BB)
Length: ~600 m
Dry Weight: ~800 kt
Crew: ~600
Screens: Class III+
Max. Acceleration: 26 G
Armor Rating: 277
ECM Rating: 110

Weapon Mounts
08x2 Heavy Blasters
10x3 Laser Autocannon
01x3 Anti-Missile Launcher
02 Warhead Launchers

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

Note: In her prime, the Halberd was the premier fast battleship of her day. Due to the mobile nature of Loroi defensive tactics in this conflict, this oft-updated design has remained the backbone of the Loroi defensive fleet for most of the war, but production ceased with the introduction of the newer Greatsword. Unable to upgrade to modern heavy weaponry such as the pulse cannon due to power limitations, the Halberd has remained in service due to its survivability and comparatively high speed, and is sometimes used as a fleet torpedo platform.

Greatsword
"Gelimer"
Class: Heavy Battleship (BB)
Length: ~600 m
Dry Weight: ~1,000 kt
Crew: ~600
Screens: Class IV
Max. Acceleration: 26 G
Armor Rating: 260
ECM Rating: 105

Weapon Mounts
02 External Ordnance racks
02x2 Pulse Cannons
02x2 Superheavy Blasters
04x1 Heavy Blasters
04x2 Medium Blasters
09x3 Laser Autocannon
02x3 Anti-Missile Launchers
01 Warhead Launcher

Small Craft & Ordnance
05 Standard Shuttles
24 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 defensive and offensive capabilities (mounting superheavy batteries normally carried only by Citadels), and can stand toe-to-toe with the heaviest of Umiak units.

Swift Vanguard
"Terei Besit"
Class: Battlecruiser (BC)
Length: 548 m
Dry Weight: 600 kt
Crew: 550
Screens: Class III+
Max. Acceleration: 30 G

10x3 Laser Autocannon
01x6 Anti-Missile Launcher

Small Craft & Ordnance
06 Standard Shuttles
24 Torpedoes
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 modernized and better protected.

Katana
"Eides"
Class: War Cruiser (CW)
Length: 504 m
Dry Weight: 450 kt
Crew: 450
Screens: Class III+
Max. Acceleration: 33 G
Armor Rating: 180
ECM Rating: 140

Weapon Mounts
01 External Ordnance rack
03x2 Medium Blaster

06x3 Laser Autocannon
01x3 Anti-Missile Launcher
02 Warhead Launcher

Small Craft & Ordnance
03 Standard Shuttles
30 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 
"Denzabastal"
Class: Strike Carrier (CVS)
Length: ~600 m
Crew: ~1000
Screens: Class III
Max. Acceleration: 28 G
Armor Rating: 130
ECM Rating: 140

Weapon Mounts
02x2 Medium Blaster
06x3 Laser Autocannon
02x3 Anti-Missile Launcher

Small Craft & Ordnance
36 Fighters*
04 Standard Shuttles
200 Torpedoes
200 AMM Missiles

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

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

Scimitar Mk.3
"Nezatin-E"
Class: Heavy Cruiser (CA)
Length: 416 m
Dry Weight: 350 kt
Crew: 400
Screens: Class III
Max. Acceleration: 30 G

01x3 Anti-Missile Launcher
01 Warhead Launcher

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

Note: The standard heavy escort vessel of the fleet. With its pulse cannons, this cruiser-class vessel has the firepower to engage capital-class targets, and it has the speed to keep up with fast attack groups.

Rapier
"Borita"
Class: Escort Cruiser (CLE)
Length: 380 m
Dry Weight: 175 kt
Crew: 340
Screens: Class III
Max. Acceleration: 30 G
Armor Rating: 140
ECM Rating: 160

Weapon Mounts
05x2 Medium Blaster
12x3 Laser Autocannon
02 Anti-Missile 20-cell Box Launchers

Small Craft & Ordnance
02 Standard Shuttles
200 AMM Missiles

Note: A cruiser-class fleet escort vessel, dedicated to formation defense rather than offense, armed with medium and light weaponry designed primarily to engage torpedoes and small craft.

Catapult
"Demen"
Class: Heavy Carrier (CV)
Length: ~550 m
Crew: 1,100
Screens: Class III
Max. Acceleration: 22 G
Armor Rating: 102
ECM Rating: 105

Weapon Mounts
05x3 Laser Autocannon

Small Craft & Ordnance
40 Fighters*
04 Standard Shuttles
200 Torpedoes
200 AMM Missiles

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 also carry atmospheric aircraft, armored units and troop deployment vehicles.

Saber 
"Nenzit"
Class: Command Cruiser (CC)
Length: ~450 m
Crew: ~500
Screens: Class III
Max. Acceleration: 30 G
Armor Rating: 110
ECM Rating: 100

Weapon Mounts
04 Pulse Cannon
06x3 Laser Autocannon

Small Craft & Ordnance
08 Interceptors
04 Standard Shuttles
24 Torpedoes
50 AMM Missiles

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 heavy losses in massed fleet battles at the close of the Semoset offensive. Like the Vortex class, after Semoset the Saber was mostly restricted to fast attack duty.

Cutlass
"Binessit"
Class: Light Cruiser (CL)
Length: ~300 m
Crew: ~400
Screens: Class III
Max. Acceleration: 26 G
Armor Rating: 161
ECM Rating: 110

Weapon Mounts

Hailstorm 
"Sione"
Class: Light Carrier (CVL)
Length: ~400 m
Crew: ~650
Screens: Class II
Max. Acceleration: 28 G
Armor Rating: 110
ECM Rating: 130

Weapon Mounts
04x3 Laser Autocannon
01x3 Anti-Missile Launcher

Small Craft & Ordnance
20 Fighters*
04 Standard Shuttles
100 Torpedoes
126 AMM Missiles

Note: *Mix of Interceptors & Attack Craft.

Being fast enough to keep up with the raider groups, dedicated light carriers are used when such groups require fighter cover.

Warhammer
"Nazali"
Class: Destroyer (DD)
Length: 250 m
Dry Weight: 75 kt
Crew: 300
Screens: Class III
Max. Acceleration: 30 G
Armor Rating: 140
ECM Rating: 140

Weapon Mounts
04x2 Medium Blasters
04x3 Laser Autocannon 
01x3 Anti-Missile Launcher
01 Warhead Launcher

Small Craft & Ordnance
02 Standard Shuttles
18 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
"Beshri"
Class: Destroyer (DD)
Length: 240 m
Crew: 200
Screens: Class II
Max. Acceleration: 30 G
Armor Rating: 85

Small Craft & Ordnance
02 Standard Shuttles
36 AMM Missiles

Note: Frigates are small escort or picket vessels that often double as message couriers.

Trade Wind

Weapon Mounts
03x3 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. 

Herald

Weapon Mounts
02x3 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 must be carried from one system to another via ship.

Hidden Dagger

Weapon Mounts
02x3 Laser Autocannon

Note: The smallest, cheapest jump-capable vessel in the Loroi fleet, the scout corvette is used for picket, recon or short-range courier duty.

Zephyr

Tornado
"Daziin"
Class: Interceptor
Length: 38 m
Dry Weight: 250 t
Crew: 2
Screens: none
Max. Acceleration: 40 G
Fuel Capacity: 200

Weapon Mounts
03x2 Fighter Laser Cannon
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
Dry Weight: 160 t
Crew: 1
Screens: none
Max. Acceleration: 40 G
Fuel Capacity: 100

Weapon Mounts
02x2 Fighter Laser Cannon
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 AMM missiles.

Banshee
"Nimai"
Class: Attack Craft
Length: 38 m
Dry Weight: 300 t
Crew: 2
Screens: Class i
Max. Acceleration: 36 G
Fuel Capacity: 200
ECM Rating: 85

Weapon Mounts
01x2 Fighter Laser Cannon
08 Weapon Hardpoints

Note: Attack craft are anti-ship fighters, armed primarily with torpedoes. As they must survive in proximity of enemy vessels, attack craft are typically equipped with defensive screens and ECM modules.

Each fighter hardpoint can mount a single short-range torpedo, a rack of 3 or 6 AMM missiles, a race of 2 or 3 USR torpedoes, or a specialty ordnance module. 

Lancer
"Biriradi"
Class: Heavy Fighter
Length: 44 m
Dry Weight: 400 t
Crew: 2
Screens: Class i
Max. Acceleration: 38 G
Armor Rating: 10
Fuel Capacity: 250
ECM Rating: 67

Weapon Mounts
01x2 Laser Autocannon
02x2 Fighter 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
Dry Weight: 75 t
Crew: 2
Passengers: 20-40
Screens: none
Max. Acceleration: 15 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.

On any shuttle, the number of passengers accommodated depends on how the seating is arranged.

Conveyer
"Mizito"
Class: Heavy Transport Shuttle (Cargo Lighter)
Length: 50 m
Dry Weight: 350 t
Crew: 2-4
Passengers: 40-80
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.

Note: This is a streamlined craft designed for efficient planetary landings and takeoffs. It has limited performance and endurance outside atmosphere. It is most commonly carried by orbital stations or passenger transports, but many capital ships will carry at least one in place of a standard shuttle.

Note: This large transport shuttle is streamlined for atmospheric operation and is equipped with inertial dampers to allow for extended high-acceleration with passengers. Its size and cost tends to limit its allocation to bases and large command ships, and it is used to transport high-value passengers or cargoes.

Weapon Mounts
01 Fighter Laser Cannon

Note: *10 G Max with unprotected passengers.

Used to transport marines for boarding actions, usually against crippled vessels or large space platforms with limited maneuverability. Boarding actions in the current war are very rare, as captains on both sides tend to self-destruct rather than be captured.

Weapon Mounts
02x2 Laser Autocannon

Note: This compact station hull is small enough to be towed to the destination system in one piece. It is minimally armed, but is modular and versatile. It is frequently used as a resupply depot or listening post.

BS-3 (Gora Relay)

Weapon Mounts
04x2 Heavy Blasters
04x2 Medium Blasters
32x3 Laser Autocannon

Small Craft & Ordnance
20 Fighters or 6 Heavy Shuttles
08 Standard Shuttles

Note: This is a very common Loroi armed station design, often used as a jump point guard station or as satellite "guard towers" to larger citadels. It is most often transported in sections and assembled on site.

BS-

Weapon Mounts
04x3 Superheavy Blasters
04x2 Medium Blasters
48x3 Laser Autocannon

Small Craft & Ordnance
40 Fighters
12 Standard Shuttles

Note: This is  the largest of the standardized battle stations, and the smallest type of station which is typically referred to as a "citadel." Larger citadels are usually custom designed and constructed on site.
