|
|
||
|
OUDFS BATTLESHIP Canberra In a common configuration. Coomas almost invariably operate with three Gunpack or Standard modules, though very occasionally they carry an Defence/Escort module instead. So far no Coomas have been seen carrying civilian/auxiliary modules. NPV 419 / CPV 449 |
|
||
|
OUDFS CARRIER Auckland In a common configuration. The Aucklands usually carry an Defence/Escort or Standard module. NPV 435 + fighters CPV 355 + fighters |

OUDFS MODULAR FLEET AUXILIARY Jervis Bay In a common configuration. The most varied of the new designs are (of course) the Jervis Bays. Their normal loadout when operating in combat zones is a Standard module, possibly one Defence/Escort module and the remaining 8-9 wells filled with various auxiliary/civilian modules (ranging from pure cargo modules to troop landers to sickbays to ortillery). NPV 354 + landers CPV 276 + landers |
|
||
|
OUDFS MODULAR FLEET AUXILIARYs Jaika Jaika and Jerildree As outfitted during the Siege of Sol During the Siege of Sol the OUDFS Jaika Jaika and OUDFS Jerilderee carried 8 Gunpack modules each. In the two remaining slots the Jaika Jaika carried a Defence/Escort module and one of the old Numbat P-torp modules, while the OUDFS Jerilderee had *two* P-torp modules - not because they expected to use the P-torps much (single-arc P-torps don't agree very well with thrust-2 engines!), but because they needed the extra FCS capacity. Both ships survived the Siege; after the first couple of encounters, the Kra'Vak generally preferred to stay well away from them! OUDFS Jaika Jaika NPV 523 / CPV 586 OUDFS Jerideree NPV 522 / CPV 585 |
|
||
|
OUDFS HEAVY BATTLESHIP Brisbane In a conjectural configuration. Brisbane class heavy battleships would, if they existed, most likely be equipped with one Defence/Escort module and three Gunpack or Standard modules NPV 490 / CPV 553 |
