The Confederate military is massive as it acts not only as a defence force but also as a police force. All most half of their fleet is used as escorts for the thousands of freighters that travel continuously between colonies. | The Confederate military is massive as it acts not only as a defence force but also as a police force. All most half of their fleet is used as escorts for the thousands of freighters that travel continuously between colonies. Some warships are made to look deceptively weaker than normal for that class. In fact they are bristling with weapon emplacements. The disadvantage of this system is that these weapons need to be powered up and it takes time. Fortunately there are not that many of these ships in their fleet and they normally travel with escorts as they need back up to protect them while they power up their weapons. | ||
Only two known classes do not count towards this fact: battleships and super battleships. Both are made entirely for war, often used as an intimidating factor during battle. Only three super battleships are reported to be in service. A fourth is reportedly undergoing construction with rumours of a fifth yet to be confirmed. | Only two known classes do not count towards this fact: battleships and super battleships.
