Here is my race from our Starmada/VBAM campaign. I used the Starfire Terran from Nexus and Islands Campaign from the old Traveller black books as my model. I am too un-creative to actually make up an interesting alien race. Plus, this way I have a large source of historical names to use.

Tasked with the defense against hostile fighters, the Ares class frigate is an indispensable component of the Imperial Navy's carrier divisions. Armed mainly with the myopic but powerful “Phalanx” coilgun, these ships are lethal when confronting fighters. Typical deployment is for one Ares to escort two Intrepid class carriers in a carrier division (CarDiv).
Edinburgh Class Cruiser (88 )

Forming the backbone of the conventional Imperial Battlefleet, the Edinburgh class cruisers are few in number, due to their cost, but are a welcome addition to any Imperial fleet. Armed with a long ranged version of the Imperial Navy's standard laser emitter covering generous arc-of-fire, these ships have impressive stand-off ability. Usual deployment is for three of these ships to form a cruiser squadron (CruRon) commanded by a Rear Admiral.
Intrepid Class Carrier (340)
Mass: 189.3 Kmt, Crew: 600, TL: E:-2 W:-2 D:-2 Q:-2

These massive ships serve as the flagships of the Imperial Battlefleet. Intrepid class carriers are equipped with modern command and control facilities, expansive smallcraft boat bays and state-of-the-art medical facilities. While lacking any conventional armament or defensive weaponry, the space saved has allowed an unprecedented number of fighter squadrons to be embarked. All six fighter squadrons can be launched in just two waves, quickly placing impressive firepower into space. Typically the fighter squadrons are composed of the advanced F-1 “Talon” atmospheric capable fighter, allowing the carriers to project sub-orbital power into any atmosphere as well as their traditional space combat roles. Normal deployment for these ships is for two carriers and an Ares class frigate to form a carrier division (CarDiv) under the command of a Rear Admiral.
Long Haul II Class Freighter of the Terran Imperial Merchant Marine ( 12 )
Mass: 67.2 KmT, Crew: 188, TL: E:-2 W:-2 D:-2 Q:-2
Hull: 5 4 3 2 1
Engines: 2 1
Shields: K: 0 | E: 0 | B: 0

Cost: 3, Maint: 1/3, DV: 3, AS: 0, AF: 0, CR: 0, CC: 2, Base: 0, Spd: 2, Warp: Y, Notes: Civilian Freighter
This class is representative of the typical civilian freighter design in the Terran Imperium. Of course, designs vary widely. Most civilian designs are unarmed. Convoys are typically comprised of seven ships similar to this class and three armed ships similar to the Transporter class below.
Transporter Class Armed Freighter of the Terran Imperial Merchant Marine ( 18 )
Mass: 69.6 KmT, Crew: 218, TL: E:-2 W:-2 D:-2 Q:-2
Hull: 5 4 3 2 1
Engines: 2 1
Shields: K: 0 | E: 0 | B: 0

Similar to the above Long Haul II class of freighter above, this class is representative of the armed civilian freighter designs in the Imperium. As mentioned above, thirty percent of the freighters in the Terran Imperium are armed. Arcs of fire for the installed weaponry varies greatly, depending on the outlook and fierceness of the captain and crew, but most cover the rear arcs as freighter captains nearly always choose flight over fight.
Cunard Class Troop Transport of the Terran Imperial Merchant Marine ( 77 )
Mass: 189.8 KmT, Crew: 998, TL: E:-2 W:-2 D:-2 Q:-2
Hull: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Again, civilian designs can vary widely but this class is fairly representative of the standard troop transport leased from the civilian economy by the Imperial government when large numbers of troops are required to be moved between planets. In standard civilian service, the troop compartments are replaced by passenger areas or bulk cargo holds. Five ships similar to this class can transport one Imperial Army or Imperial Marine division, each comprised of some 25,000 men.
Conestoga Class Colony Ship of the Terran Imperial Merchant Marine ( 15 )
Mass: 89.8 KmT, Crew: 293, TL: E:-2 W:-2 D:-2 Q:-2
Hull: 6 5 4 3 2 1
Engines: 2 1
Shields: K: 0 | E: 0 | B: 0
Warp Drive [O], Cargo Bays, 50%, Passengers (100) x10, Vehicle Bay x2
1[2H], 2[E], 3[2H], 4[Q], 5[2H], 6[2H]
VBAM Stats
Cost: 5, Maint: 1/2, DV: 4, AS: 0, AF: 0, CR: 0, CC: 3, Base: 0, Spd: 2, Warp: Y, Notes: Civilian Colony
Typical of the civilian ships that comprise the colonization fleets, ten ship similar to this class can carry all of the colonists and supplies needed to establish a new outpost on any world. These ships are very rarely armed.
