Mariner 56A Light Patrol Craft

The Mariner was designed to replace the legacy UNP Space Patrol fleet which had been transferred to NS but needed replacement. Before the first ship could enter trials NS decided instead to build a development of the Pentekonter, the Protector 57A, for the role. Mariner was completed and originally was to become a trials or research ship but after excelling in it's trials NS has decided to build a series fleet of it to supplement the Protector.

Quasar 15A Strike Bomber / Command Ship

The Quasar 15A was the first of the DDS' "Generation 3" spaceship designs at the dawn of the 22nd century. Along with the Isometric and Velocity the Quasar introduced new standards of design and performance way beyond earlier ships. The Quasar was designed as a cruiser and be the pinnacle of the fleet.

When the DDS moved to the heavy destroyer design such as the Panther the Quasar was considered out-of-date - some were sold to the Raegris and there was a feeling that all might be retired, however the new role of strategic bomber proved to be the perfect fit for the Quasar with it's large weapon carrying capacity. 

The survivors of the once much larger Quasar fleet are now the core of the NS bomber force and also have a secondary role as command ships. Three ex-Raegris Quasars joined the fleet in 2125, however the ships will be withdrawn from service between 2128-30.

These ships are the backbone of the MBO fleet, nimble and powerful fighters. Twenty have been transferred to the NS fleet. They have been modified for NS crews and for integration with the NS fleet. The last few ships (from 52-112) were to the Nectar E standard with twin Zip cannons, 48 cell TPM-VLS, passive sensors and other updates. 

DF plan to withdraw the ships from front line service but keep a small number for use in the aggressor training role.

Classic Rome 46A Light Combat Ship

The Rome was a development of the Pentekonter 44A light patrol ship with greater firepower and performance. It is equipped with a modular mission compartment meaning it can be quickly fitted out for use in a number of different roles including ECM/Elint, ground attack and reconnaissance. They tend to be used in a utility role to support the destroyer and patrol fleets.

The Rome 46K sub-class were dedicated VIP ships. They were fitted with extra C3 facilities as well as improved crew quarters. In 2123 they were converted back to standard Romes, though retain the C3 facilities.

The Rome fleet was upgraded during late 2119 and 2120. Rome Intermediate Life Update (ILU) included the worming of all ships. New Proton RM-01GX e-Core engines (with H-scoop integration) replacing the original Hitachi HS-760GX-200s were fitted, as well as Z7t cannon and other system and tactical updates as well as life extension and refurbishment work.

46-201 Cicero is the UNDF flagship and personal ship of Torus.

Isometric 41A Medium Combat Ship

The Isometric is one of the most popular ships in the fleet. The design was part of the DDS "Generation 3" family of ships along with the Quasar and Velocity and proved itself very quickly with the production order increased. It has also led to four other versions of the Isometric platform.

The Isometric is a tough ship with good performance and versatility. An Isometric has served as fleet flagship in the past. Currently 41-103 Jurassic is the flagship of the VP (Ops). The Isometric undertook it's Initial Life Upgrade (ILU) in 2109.

Multi-Update Life Extension (MULE) began in 2123. The update include Proton RM-01KE e-Core engines, TPM-3 support and the removal of Pave Yellow. The ships are likely to remain in service until the mid-2130s.
