	~~=====M-18C Ridgway=====~~		In the 2160s, military spacelift was at a premium due to the lingering effects of the Breakdown. With many colony worlds ill-equipped with anything heavier than armored cars and light towed artillery, the CPTO submitted a tender for new armored vehicles. The most unorthodox of these was the Y61, a fairly conventional tank chassis fitted with a most unconventional twin turret. The soft-recoil railcannons were designed to double as artillery; an unusual decision in context of standard military design but with the primary limitation being spacelift, the Y61 was (controversially) accepted into colonial service under the name Type 61. The twin-cannoned vehicle proved unexpectedly popular on colonial stations, though detractors claimed this was primarily because ''any'' AFV was better than nothing.

			A common sight across the Core, the Vespuchi was originally developed to be the EU's new transport ship for the 2170s. Equipped with a robust double hull it was significantly more resilient than the Eta-series transports that the EU has used up to them. Its most notable design feature though was the fixture of a pair of latch points on the outer hull, allowing it to carry a significant internal cargo as well as HLVs or deeps-space containers. Having filled an unglamorous but necessary role in the EU fleet, the first space war saw them mass produced in seemingly endless streams by Chinese shipyards and distributed to replace the heavy wartime losses suffered by all the Core powers. As a result, the Vespuchi has all but totally replaced other logistics vessels in the Core militaries and become quite common in the Expanse.<br>

			While the big American and Japanese shipyards of Newport Luna, General Dynamics and Mitsubishi build many of the large warships seen across the Pac-Am arm, dozens of national yards construct the vast majority of the warships that do the real work - the frigates and destroyers that patrol the spacelanes. One of these success stories is the ''Hanoi'' attack ship, a Vietnamese-designed craft originally designed for local patrols. Relatively cheap and effective, they had unexpected success and by the ZOCU war were a common sight in the Expanse. While not specifically designed for atmospheric combat, they were often based out of surface ports, clawing for space when attackers were detected.

	The Inchon-class LPD is the slated replacement for the aging Normandy-class LPD that was used in the First Space War by the USMC to great effect. Very similar in many ways, the Inchon combines the ability to a combination of up to 40 fighters, strike fighters, and gunships with the ability to deploy an entire marine battalion along with armor and artillery support. Comparable to the Sofia in many ways, the Inchon-class is fast and heavily armored, albeit poorly armed.<br>		The Inchon-class LPD is the slated replacement for the aging Normandy-class LPD that was used in the First Space War by the USMC to great effect.

	Entire fleets of MacArthur Class Battleships were built by Earth and Terranova's shipyards over the course of several decades, and many of these old ships and even foreign built copies persists in the service of distant and scarcely known Rim Worlds. While the original configuration MacArthur remains a serviceable warship in those distant places, they were considered to be throughly obsolete by the standards of the Core Colonies and the Expanse even before outbreak of the First Space War. However, the Big-Gun Lobby in the US Congress demanded that the USASF maintain orbital bombardment and assault capability, ie, keep a number of battleships operational. Unfortuantely, the MacArthurs were aging at a rapid pace.<br>		Entire fleets of MacArthur Class Battleships were built by Earth and Terranova's shipyards over the course of several decades, and many of these old ships and even foreign built copies persists in the service of distant and scarcely known Rim Worlds.

	In the early 80s, rumors of 'super-fighters' began to emerge from several ZOCU worlds. By the time these had been confirmed to actually be prototype combat-use mobile suits a number of Pacific states had already instituted a program to construct a true superfighter. Shrouded in secrecy and financed by a massive black budget, what eventually emerged as the F-84 Phantom blew all competition away - at a phenomenal price point. All the massive resources invested in developing and building the first Phantoms paid off however when ZOCU sent its Orbital Frames into battle, as only these craft could hope to engage them at rough parity.<br>		In the early 80s, rumors of 'super-fighters' began to emerge from several ZOCU worlds.
