Djenari Republic

Here is one of the races from an ongoing VBAM/Starmada campaign. These are their ship designs at the beginning of the campaign. The started with a total technology level of -6. The race started with E:-1  W:-1  D:-3  Q:-1.

Djenari Republican Space Arm

Formed several hundred years ago, with a lineage stretching back thousands of years to the Djenari's wet-navy forces, the Djenari Space Arm (DRSA) drills ceaselessly to maintain combat readiness. Divided into several commands, notably War Fleet, Fortress Fleet and Survey Fleet, the DRSA is led by a Grand Admiral. The Grand Admiral of the Djenari Navy is theoretically subordinate to the Chancellor and Senate through the Minister of the Navy and Minister of War although the Leader has assumed the duties of the Minister of War and Chancellor directly.
Before the discovery of the warp drive in 2415 C.E., the DRSA was mainly a system defense force with predominately commerce regulation responsibilities. With the discovery of quick access to other star systems and especially the rise to power of the Djenari People's Labor Party, the DRSA has rapidly expanded. Plans were formulated, and are regularly updated, to cover the eventual conflict with every alien species encountered. The DRSA is geared towards offensive warfare and drills continuously. DRSA crews are significantly more experienced and trained than their Imperial counterparts.
The DRSA's primary short-range weapon uses a focused “fist” of plasma derived from a fusion reaction, dubbed a Fusion Bore, to hammer through opponent's defenses at close range. The innovative Pulse Inducted Thrust (PIT) Missile serves as the DRSA's primary long-range weapon. The sophisticated drive on these missiles results in a weapon that hits opponents with more violence the further they are from the launching ship.
Djenari designers rely upon their advanced engine technology and high speeds to such an extent that passive defenses are not equipped and defense technology lags behind other fields. Djenari ships depend on sophisticated electronic countermeasure systems to intercept incoming enemy fire. Given the current government's oversights, individual initiative is not encouraged and as a result the DRSA has traditionally slighted fighter operations. The few carriers in service and their attendant fighter squadrons are relegated mainly towards fleet defense when engaging races that use fighters.
Due to the rather paranoid nature of the Republic and specifically the Djenari Leader, heavily armed units of the State Security Police are present on all vessels of the DRSA. Ostensibly this is to defend the ships against alien boarders but in reality it seems more likely a means to prevent any ship from turning on the Leader.
The class names and individual ships names have been assigned by the Imperial Office of Naval Intelligence as a more convenient method of tracking DRSA ships. The Djenari tend towards rather florid names. For example, the name of the lead ship of the “Impaler” class cruisers translates into standard Anglik as “Immensurable far-fisted space-going piercing spear of the devoted penultimate Djenari peoples, their righteous and representative government and their most immutably humble servant, the Chancellor”. It is assumed that the DRSA also uses a much shortened nomenclature. DRSA ships are well designed and of comparable size to Imperial Navy vessels.

VBAM Stats
Cost: 12, Maint: 3/2, DV: 7, AS: 7, AF: 2, CR: 6, CC: 3, Base: 0, Spd: 5, Warp: Y, Notes:

This class is the main combatant of the DRSA. Generous arcs of fire and a high speed allow these ships to keep the range to their opponents open where they can use their powerful Pulse Inducted Thrust missiles with near impunity. These ships are very expensive to operate and tend to be mobilized only in crisis situations.

Equipped for extended survey operations far from logistical support, this class has state of the art medical facilities and expansive boat bay to aid in exploration operations.

Stiletto Class Destroyer of the Djenari Republican Space Arm   ( 104 )
Mass: 52 KmT, Crew: 183, TL:   E:-1  W:-1  D:-3  Q:-1

The day to day workhorse of the DRSA, this class comprises the bulk of the DRSA's hulls. Similar in design concept to the larger Lancer class cruisers these ships are smaller, lighter armed and much less expensive.

Cost: 8, Maint: 3/4, DV: 4, AS: 3, AF: 1, CR: 4, CC: 2, Base: 0, Spd: 5, Warp: Y, Notes: Atmospheric Jammer(1)

Based off of the versatile Stiletto class destroyer, this class sacrifices the long range hitting power of the Pulse Inducted Thrust missile for a suite of powerful electronic jamming equipment.

6x Lgt Slow Fighter (Atm) (E) ( ULF,C:1/5,M:1/18,DV:1,AS:1,AF:1 )
Few ships of this class ever entered active service as the DRSA tended to rely more on conventional warships instead of fighters. These ships were intended primarily to provide fighter cover in a defensive role not as an offensive arm.
