	The oldest heavy warship design in the collective ZOCU fleets, the ''Ionia'' was a revolutionary design when it was first developed in the late 2170s. Featuring dispersed hangar systems that would not be out of place onboard a light carrier as well as powerful cannon armament, they were true multirole warships. ''Ionias'' served with distinction on all fronts during the war and remain the most common ZOCU cruiser model to remain in service. A postwar mark has recently been introduced, though with over fifty war-marks in service across ZOCU, it will take some time for these older ships to be retired or refitted.

	Designed for simplicity of production and the ability to carry a single team of mobile suits into combat the Proton light cruiser is not without significant flaws. However it was ideal for its role and the Proton was mass-produced in shipyards across ZOCU space to become the most common warship in the combined ZOCU fleet. While designated a light cruiser, the Proton was too light to fall under Sirius treaty restrictions and remains ubiquitous to the current day in a wide variety of different subtypes.

	On the Sino-Russian Arm, the war was often a matter of commerce raiding. As ZOCU began to suffer increasing pirate attacks, it was realized that the escort carriers currently used were not sufficiently cost effective. A new ship was needed, a frigate capable of handling aerospace craft or commerce raiding ships. The ''Ariane'' was designed with rapid-fire railguns and a highly automated ship design. A small crew could rapidly identify threats and eliminate them with some degree of success, while the built-in drone hangar could keep UAVs out on patrol. This ship was produced throughout the war. In the later stages of the war, a deuterium core was commonly added to new ''Ariane''s, but the hull was not designed for such heavy modification, and the deuterium core and its massive shielding and replacement access added enough mass to slow the ship significantly.<br>		On the Sino-Russian Arm, the war was often a matter of commerce raiding.

	Rumors of a new ZOCU mobile armor being developed at Transbaal swirled though EU intelligence briefings through the summer. ZOCU counterintelligence operations had kept any substantive information about the new 'Xhosa' type from the Core and as a result, when the first pair cut a bloody swath through the fighter complement of the EUS ''Clemenceau'' the EU was caught flat-footed. Equipped with six DRAGON (Disconnected Rapid Autonomous Ordnance Network) weapon drones capable of outmaneuvering and striking aircraft they were devastating anti-air platforms, despite their relatively low speed and lack of transatmospheric ability. While the fast-scan control system that coordinated this all was effective, overall the Xhosas were expensive and difficult to construct, limiting the number of these devastating weapons fielded. No additional copies were built after the war, the last remaining pair (by twist of fate, the first two built) serving in the Transbaal military.
