Ship Classes

The ships of the Archadian Fleets are usually separated into several classes, each with a specific purpose.

Fighter Class

Air Cutter Remora. Valfarre.

 

Light ships meant for lesser combat. They usually have small gun turrets, and even engage foot soldiers in combat. Two classes of fighter are the Remora and Valfarre.

Light Cruiser Class

Shiva.

Not meant for heavy battles, they have weaker armor and lighter weaponry than most other ships. As such, they are much better at high-speed maneuvers and attacking in groups. TheShiva is a Light Cruiser Class ship.

Cruiser Class

Ifrit.

Heavy ships more suited for actual battle. They have much tougher armor than their light counterparts, and a lot of cannons in their arsenal. The Ifrit is a Cruiser Class ship. 

Heavy Carrier Class

Alexander.

Heavily armored ships, these ships are not meant for battle. Instead, they act as walls and carry troops to their destination. They are the biggest class of ships, and have entire hangars hidden in them. The Alexander is a Heavy Carrier Class ship.

Dreadnought Class

Leviathan.

An all-round battle ship, the Dreadnought Class is engineered for combat. Its armor is impossible to penetrate, and its firepower is unmatched. This class of ship is usually in charge of an entire fleet. The Leviathan is a Dreadnought Class ship. 

Sky Fortress Class

The ultimate class, there is only one ship in the Archadian fleet that bears this title, the Bahamut. Gigantic, this class is very slow, and requires an enormous amount of energy to power. However, its firepower is devastating, sporting a mist cannon that can destroy entire ships in one shot. As well as having this emense power to destroy ships, it carried within itself thousands of small fighters capable of fending off attacks from smaller attack groups.
