'''''Ares''-class Assault Carrier''' <br>
Threat Level: S  [http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/f91/zamouthgarr.jpg Image]<br>
Combining the power of a battleship with the airwing of a fleet carrier, the ''Ares''-class assault carrier is a fleet flagship built only in small quantities.  Bristling with anti-capital and anti-suit ordnance, this ship is designed to survive even a full squadron's attacks.  Fortunately, it is on our side.

'''''Norway''-class Battleship''' <br>
Threat Level: A  [http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/f91/zamouthgiri.jpg Image]<br>
The SFN mainline battleship is designed for leading smaller fleets and providing a heavy anti-capital ship strike capability.  It was built to take into account modern mobile suit tactics, and thus carries more anti-suit weaponry and superior targeting compared to the previous generation of battleships, at the cost of only marginal increases in firepower.  Combined with the large air wing, a ''Norway''-class is a tough target for even an elite suit squadron.

'''''Rio De Janeiro''-class Cruiser''' <br>
Threat Level: C  [http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/f91/zamouthjeth.jpg Image]<br>
The smallest vessels in SFN use to carry fighters, these ships are the core of the SFN fleet.  Though capable of limited independent operations, they generally serve as battleship escorts and as mainline anti-pirate forces.  They have been mass-produced, and the design has been extremely refined.  The ''Rio De Janeiro''-class has few weaknesses, but no true strengths.  

'''''London''-class Heavy Cruiser''' <br>
Threat Level: B  [http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/0083/musai.jpg Image]<br>
Vessels such the SFS ''Calais'' are heavy cruisers designed for long-range unsupported operations.  They have large stores and fuel capacity, as well as a scaled down version of the battleship drive system and weapon emplacements.  These ships also have superior sensors and ECM system compared to the rest of the fleet, as well as large suit hangars.  Unfortunately, the armor on the ''London''-class is fairly weak for its size, and they must rely on ECM and superior range to survive a capital ship onslaught.

'''''Jane Tanner''-class Destroyer''' <br>
Threat Level: D  [http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/f91/zamouthnada.jpg Image]<br>
A simple escort craft built to serve as a guard against pirates and light craft, this class is easily outmatched by any cruiser, and is not durable enough to stand up to the attacks of an INTACT-level squadron.  However, these little ships are designed for intercepting fast moving missiles and Raptor drones, and even the main armament is designed for anti-suit use.

== League of Outer Stars Fleet ==
'''''Hawkings''-series System Dominance Vessel''' <br>
Threat Level: A  [http://mahq.net/mecha/gundam/00/landbattleship.jpg]<br>
Only a handful of these expensive and powerful warships have been produced at core League worlds and they serve as much of a propaganda role as they do a military one.  Having a relatively heavy weapons load for a League design and a commensurate decrease in mobile doll capacity they are clearly meant to be a counter to our ''Norway'' battleships.  In case of any war with the League, these craft can be expected to lead any offensives.

'''''Seyfert''-series Forward Operations Vessel''<br>
Threat Level: C<br>
The standard 'cruiser' warship of the League of Outer Stars, these warships have served to protect the League for the past decade.  Relatively austere, by Solar standards they are lightly armed with only two beam turrets for anti-ship firepower.  However, their onboard Raptor bays are impressively spacious, and any ''Seyfert'' loaded with INTACT-equivalent upgraded mobile doll models should be treated as a Class B threat.  Production standardization has allowed for a surprisingly large number of these ships to be constructed and new hulls continue to enter service.

'''''Newton''-series Local Defense Vessel''' <br>
Threat Level: D  [http://mahq.net/mecha/gundam/00/trinity.jpg]<br>
The first mass-produced warship to serve the league, the ''Newton'' is a simple yet robust warship.  Equipped with three small Raptor bays it can effectively patrol local space or support larger ships, though its lack of anti-ship firepower makes them easy prey for warships.  Like most League ships, ''Newtons'' have a high degree of automation for non-critical functions and they regularly operate with only 20 crew.  Their lack of endurance generally ties them to fixed bases or fleet resupply craft.

== Pirates and Local Militias ==

'''''Kilimanjaro''-class Battleship''' <br>
Threat Level: B  [http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/cca/rewloola.jpg Image]<br>
The principle battleship of the SFN in the System War, the ''Kilimanjaro''-class was a dreaded silhouette for the rebels and a symbol of Federation power afterward. With the commissioning of new ''Ares'' class battleships, the old warhorse was sold off to allied states.  While a bit outdated, the ''Kilimanjaro''-class is still a battleship capable of holding its own.  Mobile Suit teams should engage these vessel only in a coordinated attack.

'''''Liberator''-class Battleship''' <br>
Threat Level: B  [http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/0083/birmingham.jpg Image]<br>
The last design of rebel battleship was fortunately built in small numbers, but most those not destroyed fled to unoccupied space.  These vessels quite simple outclass anything less than a modern League or SFN battleship, and are legendary for taking a pounding and shredding cruisers easily.  While the Liberator is less of a threat to mobile suits than to capital ships, it should not be underestimated.  A linear flak cannon is no less deadly for its age, and these ship have plenty of them.

'''''Los Angeles''-class Cruiser''' <br>
Threat Level: C  [http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/cca/musaka.jpg Image]<br>
Widely viewed as the best cruiser of the System War, the ''Los Angeles''-class remains a viable cruiser to this day.  It's replacement remains controversial, and upgraded models continue to be built for state throughout known space.
