More ships will be added and the chapter will be updated as the main story progresses.
Some of the ships are made by me, but most are just converted ships from the Yamato 2199 - original series.
Ships introduced before the First Contact War:
1. Isozake-Class Destroyer
Affiliation: United Nations Space Navy (2153-2157), System Alliance Navy (2157-2169), SDF (2169-today)
Lenght-80m
Width-11m
Height-12m
Crew - 24
Armament:
-2 triple-mount 12.7 cm high-pressure laser cannon turrets (before First Contact War)
-2 triple-mount 12.7 cm shock cannon turrets (after First Contact War)
-2 12.7 cm prow mounted high-pressure laser cannons (before First Contact War)
-2 12.7 cm prow mounted shock cannons (after First Contact War)
-3 forward-facing torpedo tubes
-8 rocket launchers
Defenses:
-GARDIAN laser system (after First Contact War)
-energetic shields (after First Contact War)
Description:
A ship built by the Far Eastern part of the United Nations during the Second Inner Planet War. The reason for its relatively late introduction was to equip it with a new high-pressure laser cannon. Up to this point, most of the United Nations warships used mainly a variety of torpedoes, rockets and Railguns. These ships, along with the Murasame-class and Kongo-class, were directly led by the Junzo Okita during the Battle of Mars. After the Second Inner Planet War, these ships continued to serve as UN ships and later as System Alliance. After the discovery of the Prothean ruins, these ships were considered too weak to engage in direct confrontation with the now, very possible, alien threat. Over time, the ships were reduced to a secondary role, until they were completely withdrawn from use by the System Alliance Navy. By contrast, the newly formed SDF quickly purchased almost all models. These ships proved very effective against the Turian Hierarchy during the First Contact War. After the war, these ships were reinforced with Shock Cannons, GARDIAN system purchased from Volus and an energy shield. Even so, the obsolete structure degraded the ship to a frigate. Despite the introduction of many new ship classes to replace the Iskoaze, such as the Yamen-class, due to the lack of ships to man all the System Alliance colonies and 'Cold War' between the Coalition and the Citadel, it is expected that the ship will remain in active service to 2200. Recent events on Elysium have resulted in talking about the role of the Isokaze-class in a potential conflict with the Batarian Hegemony. The final decision was to delegate it to a purely defensive and supportive position, as the ship is no longer fit for direct combat, even though it can easily win against any Citadel ships of the same size in a 1v1 battle.
It was designed with speed in mind as its primary means of defense, and the possibility to immediately reprogrammed the rockets to use them in anti-missile defense. In fact, most captains, even with the introduction of the GARDIAN system, consistently maintain at least 2 missiles permanently programmed in this way. Its construction, however, limits its arc of fire, which was pain throughout its existence, as it had to turn properly all the time to the enemy to make a full salvo and meant that, apart from the rocket launcher, there was no way to respond to fire from above, bottom and back. Nevertheless, the ship enjoys a good reputation among its crews, many of whom are the most experienced in the entire Coalition, for outstanding reliability.
2. Murasame-class cruiser
Affiliation: United Nations Space Navy (2153-2157), System Alliance Navy (2157-2169), SDF (2169-today)
Lenght-152m
Width-22m
Height-26m
Crew - 60
Armament:
-3 double-mount 20 cm high-pressure laser cannon turrets (before First Contact War)
-3 double-mount 20 cm shock cannon turrets (after First Contact War)
-1 20 cm prow mounted shock cannon (before First Contact War)
-4 forward-facing torpedo tubes
Defenses:
-40cm Ablative Armor
-GARDIAN laser system (after First Contact War)
-energetic shields (after First Contact War)
Description:
A ship built by the Far Eastern part of the United Nations during the Second Inner Planet War. The reason for its relatively late introduction was to equip it with a new high-pressure laser cannon. Up to this point, most of the United Nations warships used mainly various torpedoes, rockets and Railguns. These ships, along with the Iskoaze-class and Kongo-class, were led directly by Junzo Okita during the Battle of Mars. After the Second Inner Planet War, these ships served as the main ships of the United Nations, and later the System Alliance. After the discovery of the Prothean ruins, these ships were considered too weak to engage in direct confrontation with the now, very possible, alien threat. Over time, the ships were reduced to a minor role, until they were completely withdrawn from use by the Alliance Navy System. By contrast, the newly formed SDF quickly purchased almost all models. These ships proved very effective against the Turian Hierarchy during the First Contact War. After the war, these ships were reinforced with Shock Cannons, GARDIAN system purchased from Volus and an energy shield. Even so, the obsolete structure degraded the ship to a light cruiser. Despite the introduction of many new ship classes to replace the Murasam, due to the lack of ships to man all the System Alliance and 'Cold War' colonies between the Coalition and the Citadel, it is expected that this ship will remain in active service until 2200. The latest events on Elysium resulted in talking about the role of the Murasame-class in a potential conflict with the Batarian Hegemony. The final decision was to delegate it to a purely defensive and supportive position, as the ship is no longer fit for direct combat, although it can easily win against any Citadel ship of the same size in a 1v1 battle.
It was designed as a main cruiser with a potential command role for smaller units in small skirmishes. Its missile defense system does not exist, instead, it relies heavily on smaller ships for the matter. Its armor is strong enough to withstand several hits from weak energy weapons. Its construction, however, restricts its arc of fire, which has been a pain throughout its existence, as it had to turn properly all the time to the enemy to make a full salvo and made it impossible to respond to fire from above, below and behind. Due to its simplicity of construction, it is extremely reliable, easy to repair, and has durability better than most ships of its size, while maintaining very good firepower.
3. Kongo-class Battleship
Affiliation: United Nations Space Navy (2153-2157), System Alliance Navy (2157-2169), SDF (2169-today)
Lenght-205m
Width-27.5m
Height-32m
Crew - 142
Armament:
-4 triple-mount 36 cm high-pressure laser cannon turrets (before First Contact War)
-4 triple-mount 36 cm shock cannon turrets (after First Contact War)
-1 36 cm prow mounted shock cannon (before First Contact War)
-8 forward-facing torpedo tubes
-2x 8-cell Vertical Launch Systems (ventral and dorsal)
Defenses:
-60cm Ablative Armor
-GARDIAN laser system (after First Contact War)
-energetic shields (after First Contact War)
Description:
A ship built by the Far Eastern part of the United Nations during the Second Inner Planet War. The reason for its relatively late introduction was to equip it with a new high-pressure laser cannon. Up to this point, most of the United Nations warships used mainly a variety of torpedoes, rockets and Railguns. It was a ship of this class that was Junzo Okita's flagship during the Battle of Mars. After the Second Inner Planet War, these ships continued to serve as UN ships, and later as System Alliance. After the discovery of the Prothean ruins, these ships were considered too weak to engage in direct confrontation with the now, very possible, alien threat. Over time, the ships were reduced to a minor role, until they were completely withdrawn from use by the Alliance Navy System. By contrast, the newly formed SDF quickly purchased almost all models. These ships proved very effective against the Turian Hierarchy during the First Contact War. After the war, these ships were reinforced with Shock Cannons, GARDIAN system purchased from Volus and an energy shield. Even so, the obsolete design degraded the ship to a cruiser. Despite the introduction of many new classes of ships to replace the Congo, due to the lack of ships to man all the System Alliance and Cold War colonies between the Coalition and the Citadel, it is expected that this ship will remain in active service until 2200. The latest events on Elysium resulted in talking about the role of the Congo-class in a potential conflict with the Batarian Hegemony. Although both the Murasame-class and the Isokaze-class have been deemed unsuitable for frontline combat, the Kongo-class continues to serve in potential attacks against the Hegemony.
Build as the command ship of a larger fleet, it was the largest ship of the United Nations until the discovery of the Prothean ruins, surpassed only by the Martian battleships. This ship suffers from the same ills as most ships of this era. Its construction limits its arc of fire, which was pain throughout its existence, as it had to turn properly all the time to the enemy to make a full salvo and meant that, apart from the rocket launcher, there was no way to respond to fire from above, bottom and back. Due to the number of different types of weapons, it malfunctions more often than most SDF ships, but the crews forgave it for the enormous speed, firepower and armor for its size.
4. Enterpirse-class Carrier
Affiliation: SDF (2170-today)
Lenght-400m
Width-98m
Height-64m
Crew - 300
Armament:
-2 triple-mount 46 cm high pressure laser cannon turrets
Defenses:
-30cm Ablative Armor
-GARDIAN laser system (after First Contact War)
-energetic shields (after First Contact War)
Carrying capacity:
-240 fighters (mostly Cosmo Falcons)
Description:
The first ship of this class was built and named on the brink of the First Contact War and was immediately deployed to support the 2nd fleet in taking back Shanxi with the full approval of its region SDF, seeing it as an opportunity to test its newest ship. The ship participated in the liberation of Shanxi from the turians and played a large role in the initial landing on the planet, shielding landing troops and establishing air superiority. Later, another 30 ships of this type were built. It served mainly as the flagship of many SDFs, and its commanders took part in many battles against pirates. The ship of this type was the flagship of the Vanaheim SDF flotilla during the battle with batarians over the Salarian colony. Due to the attack on Elysium and the potential conflict with the Batarian Hegemony, these ships were considered excellent support ships for both small and larger fleets.
Built as a carrier for the SDF, it doesn't have any powerful weapons or armor, although on the day of launch it had the most powerful arsenal of all SDF ships thanks to being armed immediately with Shock Cannons rather than High-Pressure Laser Cannons. Thanks to the use of special tubes, she is able to quickly launch all her fighter compliments. After the First Contact War, these models received further improvements in the form of the GARDIAN system and energetic shields. Unfortunately, all these technological marvels made this ship extremely expensive to build and maintain, and even more difficult to repair. Even so, crews often consider it one of the greatest engineering achievements in the field of shipbuilding, and more ships of this type are under construction for the next SDF. The ships of this type are expected to serve in SDF for the next 50 years or more.
Ships introduced after the First Contact War:
5. Yamen-Class Frigate
Affiliation: SDF (2171-today)
Lenght-75m
Width-11m
Height-12m
Crew - 12
Armament:
-2 triple-mount 12.7 cm shock cannon turrets
-2 12.7 cm prow mounted shock cannons
-8 rocket launchers
Defenses:
-GARDIAN laser system
-energetic shields
Description:
Ships of this class were designed and built by the former Far East part of the United Nations. They are modeled after the Isokaze-class destroyer in many respects, however, they correct many of the previous shortcomings of their predecessor. Eliminating the troped grazing and replacing the 3 front engines with two much more powerful ones, allowed for a full 360-degree arc of fire. Additionally, the bridge is more sunk in the hull, making it harder to hit. Due to much greater automation, compared to previous ships of the first category, it requires a much smaller crew.
The first ship of this class, the Yamen, successfully defeated a flotilla of five pirate ships alone and provided air support for the besieged asari colony. The remarkable efficiency that was shown in battle and other skirmishes with pirates, and the unusual resemblance to the Isokaze-class, led to the rapid replacement of production lines from the old Iskoaze-class to Yamen-class. The ships of this type are expected to serve in SDF for the next 50 years or more. On the day of the attack on Elysium, the number of ships of this class built exceeded 500.
6. Königsberg-class destroyer
Affiliation: SDF (2173-today)
Lenght-150m
Width-27m
Height-40m
Crew - 46
Armament:
-20cm Ablative Armor
-3 double-mount 20 cm shock cannon turrets
-12 rocket launchers
Defenses:
-GARDIAN laser system
-energetic shields
Description:
A ship designed by the former European part of the United Nations. Built-in a similar style to the previous models of the first category ships, it has a few differences. Having a large stock of weapons for its size led designers to build a bridge in the style of the old naval navies of the 20th and 21st centuries. Additional turrets and rocket launchers are positioned straight ahead, limiting its arc of fire. Despite these disadvantages, the ship's firepower for its size led to many successes against pirates.
2 turrets are mounted on the top of the ship and the last turret on the bottom. The grenades are mounted in groups of three on either side of the ship and are facing the front. The ships of this type are expected to serve in SDF for the next 50 years or more. Around 200 ships of this type were built on the day of the attack on Elysium.
7. Lima-class cruiser
Affiliation: SDF (2173-today)
Lenght-250m
Width-42m
Height-59m
Crew - 102
Armament:
-3 double-mount 20 cm shock cannon turrets
-2 tripel-mount 36 cm shock cannon turrets
-18 rocket launchers
Defenses:
-46cm Ablative Armor
-GARDIAN laser system
-energetic shields
Description:
A ship designed by the former South American part of the United Nations in collaboration with the former European part of the United Nations. Having a large stock of weapons for its size led designers to build a bridge in the style of the old naval navies of the 20th and 21st centuries. 2 20cm turrets are mounted on the top of the ship and the last turrets on the bottom. 36 cm shock cannos are mounted on the sides of the vessel. Most launchers are mounted in groups of three on each side of the ship and are facing the front, and one group of 6 rocket launchers is mounted on a special platform at the rear.
The ship is very similar to the smaller Königsberg-class destroyer, which is a direct element introduced by the former European part of the United Nations. However, the influence of the former South American part of the United Nations has led to a change in the internal location of the rooms to better manage more weapons and accommodate more than 2 times the crew of the previously mentioned destroyer. The ships of this type are expected to serve in SDF for the next 50 years or more. About 120 ships of this type were built on the day of the attack on Elysium.
8. Washington-class heavy cruiser
Affiliation: SDF (2175-today)
Lenght-360m
Width-62m
Height-72m
Crew - 220
Armament:
-7 tripel-mount 36 cm shock cannon turrets
-1 80 cm prow mounted shock cannon (before 2177)
-Super Shock Shotgun (after 2177)
Defenses:
-70cm Ablative Armor
-GARDIAN laser system
-energetic shields
Description:
A ship designed by the former North American part of the United Nations. She is one of the most powerful SDF ships in terms of pure firepower. She doesn't have any missile weapons, instead relies only on his Shock Cannons in means of offensive. The ship works great as a fire platform and command ship for many medium-sized SDF forces.
Built-in the style of first-generation ships, but with much sharper smoothings. It has 2 guns on the top front of the ship, one on the top rear of the ship, one on the bottom front of the ship, one on the bottom rear of the ship, and the last two on the sides. The ship is still relatively easy to build and maintain, which allowed for its quick production. The ships of this type are expected to serve in SDF for the next 50 years or more. On the day of the attack on Elysium, 42 ships of this type were built.
9. Midway-class stealth frigate
Affiliation: SDF (2177-today)
Lenght-64m
Width-10m
Height-8m
Crew - 10
Armament:
-4 forward-facing torpedo tubes
- 1 12 cm shock cannon turrets
Defenses:
-stealth system
-GARDIAN laser system
-energetic shields
Description:
The first SDF stealth ship was designed by the Janus region where they are also built. Due to its stealth technology, it is considered the most technologically advanced ship in SDF. Nevertheless, stealth technology significantly limits the armament options of the ship. Additionally, due to the way stealth technology works, it can only be used for a limited amount of time. Even with these disadvantages, this technology has made it possible to find many previously undetected pirate bases, and in combination with plasma warheads and Wolfpack tactics, in most cases, one salvo is enough to defeat her opponents.
This ship resembles a WW2 U-boat. The bridge is barely visible and there is a turret in front of it in the upper front part of the ship. Its main weapons, however, are torpedoes which it relies on to win the fight before the enemy even knows what hit them. The ships of this type are expected to serve in SDF for the next 50 years or more. Before the attack on Elysium, only 20 ships of this class were built due to the extremely complex cloaking device and the relatively small number of shipyards.
10. Blue Noah-class battleship
Affiliation: SDF (2178-today)
Lenght-620m
Width-180m
Height-136m
Crew - 620
Armament:
-Super Shock Shotgun
-8 40cm Shock cannon turrets (6 Fore, 2 Aft)
-4 32cm triple barrel Shock cannon turrets (2 Fore & Aft)
-2 20 Shock cannon turrets (ear wings)
-8 dorsal VLS tubes (bowl)
-24 Torpedo Tubes (10 Fore, 7 Starboard & Port)
Defenses:
-1.2m Ablative Armor
-GARDIAN laser system
-energetic shields
Carrying capacity:
-48 fighters
Description:
The most powerful SDF ship. It was designed by the Elysium colony with the first ship launched from the shipyards only a few months before the attack. Its monumental armament made it almost considered too powerful for the SDF, but it was eventually agreed to be built as tensions escalated with the Coalition and the Citadel.
Its unbelievable strength comes, however, with enormous budgetary requirements, therefore only one ship of this type was built. Next was supposed to be completed in December this year, but due to the pirate attack, the fate of both the finished and under construction ship remains unknown. Since Elysium is the only planet with plans for this type of ship, it is possible that this class of ships will be completely annihilated and forgotten.
