Topic: Jenoian Federation
The Jenoian Federation love dreadnoughts. And supercarriers. They ain't that keen on speed, but when you have extremely powerful defences, and extremely powerful weapons, does it really matter?
There are six vessels in all, three of which are 20 hull points, and 1 of which is 12 hull points.
Class notes:
Vrentaki: Vrentakis are dangerous, especially when you're in front. A Vrentaki carries the Longbow Cannon and the Trebuchet Plasma Launcher, and defensively it is superb--advanced shielding technology and electronic warfare systems makes the Vrentaki able to trade blows with any enemy.
Vrenlaiko: Vrenlaikos are supercarriers. Emphasis on super. Its anti-ship complement is 'weak' (according to Jenoians, at least), but it does carry 240 fighters that can cause serious problems. Its anti-fighter defence is very good.
Vrenmafi: Vrenmafis are weaker than the Vrentaki, and carry less fighters than the Vrenlaiko. But for those occasions when you need both missions, the Vrenmafi is best. 96 fighters can interdict a wide swathe of space, while the Lance Cannons can cause an enemy serious trouble.
Srentaki: Srentakis are the primary patrol unit. Strangely enough, most captains find the sight of a vessel comparable to some nations' battlecruisers...unsettling, to say the least. With a couple of Longbow Cannons with supporting Bolt Cannons and Arrow Cannons, a Srentaki is a very dangerous enemy.
Laimafi: What happens when you strap a pair of engines, life support, electronic warfare systems and a Trebuchet Plasma Launcher? You get a Laimafi. Laimafis are designed to cruise along, and slam an enemy with a couple of well-placed plasma blasts. The Arrow Cannons gives it some anti-fighter capability.
Laitaki: Laitakis are more standard destroyers. Defensively the same as a Laimafi, Laitakis are designed to escort larger vessels or Laimafis and provide their Arrow and Bolt Cannons to anti-fighter work. Sometimes you'll also find these on patrol--pirate captains tend not to come back after a stretch of raiding in Jenoian-controlled space...
