The Abbai
One of the founding races of the League of Non-Aligned Worlds, the Abbai are a matriarchal society that largely believes in non-violence. However, given that violence continues to happen to them they have some of the best protected, and maybe worst armed, ships in the galaxy. Even the Dilgar Imperium was unable to breach their defences.
Fighters
Kotha – a fairly standard fighter, designed mainly for taking on other fighters.
(46) Kotha, 6/11/1, (Fighter/5+/Non-Piercing)
Kaltika – it may seem odd that the Abbai have a breaching pod design, but they occasionally board raider vessels to capture them rather than destroy them.
(5) Kaltika Breaching Pod, 1/8/2, (Boarding Pod/5+)
Ships
Abbai ships are focused on defence rather than attack. They all have shields and most have Countermeasures and Point Defence. Weaponry is rather weak with many ships just using the short-ranged quad array to discourage those who get too close. Their true warships do have a decent laser cannon as well, based on Centauri technology, and a few also carry the comm disruptor to disable the enemy rather than destroy them.

Tulati Frigate (In Service 2180)
The Tulati is a design from before the Dilgar War and is less well armed than the Lyata. Despite being considered a proper warship it has almost no offensive capability.

Engines: [TL0] 5 5 4 3 2 1

Shyarie Jammer Frigate (In Service 2180)
A rather specialised ship, the Shyarie cannot actually destroy enemy vessels, just strip them of weapons.

Skiatha Escort Scout (In Service 2247)
The Skiatha is designed for independent long distance scouting operations. However, while quite tough it doesn't have any real firepower.
Type: SKIATHA-class ABBAI ESCORT SCOUT (251)

Bimith Defender (In Service 2246)
While it has no long-range firepower, the Bimith can sit between attacking raiders and their real target forcing them to deal with it first – a task that will take some time given its defences.
Type: BIMITH-class ABBAI DEFENDER (154)
Hull: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Aldrith Cruiser (In Service 2180)
The main Abbai cruiser of the Dilgar War, the Aldrith is rather under-protected for a large Abbai ship.
Prior to 2228 the Aldrith uses Twin Arrays (1/2/3, 2/4+/1/1, Anti-Fighter) in place of the Quad Arrays (CR 114)

Miliani Carrier (In Service 2230)
A rather uninspiring carrier, the Miliani doesn't carry as many fighters as the dedicated carriers of other races and it is rather under-protected for a large Abbai ship.

Installations
Abbai defences are designed to protect a system no matter what comes at them. In order to do that they have the heaviest shielding seen among the younger races.
