Heavy Attack Squad (ex Windscorpion) 18A Monitor

The Type 18A is a unique ship in the fleet, while most combat ships are designed to be capable of multi-role operations (even if they prioritise one role) the Type 18A is designed for one reason only: to carry the massive ZMax super cannon - a weapon more powerful than anything else known in the galaxy. The rationale for the Type 18A is to bring something different and unexpected to a tactical situation, one that an enemy cannot prepare for. A second ship was planned but has now been cancelled.

The ship was originally named Windscorpion but this was changed in 2122.

Missileer 21B Missile / UCV Carrier

The Missileer was a new concept for the NS being a modified Provider transport converted into a warship instead of being designed from the outset for combat. The Missileer was equipped with a large number of transphasic missiles and 4 launchers. The Missileer works in conjunction with other warships using their targeting information (as well as it's own) to unleash a large number of missiles at multiple targets. 

The Missileer, having a lot of internal space to play with, also has a role in strategic weapons carriage, special forces deployment and support and UCV operation. For the latter the Missileer can operate between 40-80 Ferret UCVs.

From 107 onwards the ships were to the upgraded Missileer 21B standard. The fleet was united under the 21B after various upgrades.

Freedom 41B Destroyer

NS needed a quick way to rebuild the patrol fleet following conflict as the next generation Corkscrew 51A design was still a number of years away. NS built this fleet of ships based on the Isometric-E150, an export version of the Isometric 41A. The Freedom is very similar to the Isometric especially since recent updates though has a number of fundamental differences to systems and ship infrastructure. In the 2120s the Isometric and Freedom classes will be merged.
