A new class of ship constructed by the Chryse Shipbuilding Cartel over Mars starting 2317, the [I]Impossible Request[/I] class battleship is Amanata's first hesitant take on the separation of naval roles between base strike and interstellar deterrence. Domestically they are quite a popular acquisition but are regarded with some misgiving by naval staff.

The Type 995 is a mature and flexible medium freighter hull that has been available in small numbers from Dominion Star Yards on the international civilian market for years. Most variants, including the latest model F, are not particularly popular since they're more expensive than competing handy sized freighters, except perhaps among types who find their inherent stealthiness useful in their line of work. The militarized configurations used by Amanatan armed services however, are right beasts for their size, being decently enough armed to serve as a light warship and resilient enough to survive on the battlefield provided they don't get focused. They are a common sight in Cosmonavy operating areas, being used as their primary supply vessel in which capacity they typically mount enough disposable missile pods to give even a proper warship pause in numbers.

Type 995's are also operated by the Cosmic Armoured Infantry as their primary interstellar assault ship and are fitted with precision guided munitions and linear cannons for direct support in this role. The ship deploys drop shuttles from its assault deck but it can (and does) easily manage any gravity well its troops can handle in order to involve itself directly in the battle. Its dorsal weapons are well positioned for supporting fire when the ship is on a surface.

The [i]Ayanami[/i] class are the newest ships in the Cosmonavy, the first block having been turned out just within the past three years. Although classed as destroyers due to their role, they are such in name only and were built by Hourai Star Yards at the Houraijima cruiser slipways. Built basically as expanded [i]Kirisame[/i] class ships, they are likewise clearly designed for an anti-ship role with escort as a distant second priority. Larger size allows them to be built with significantly improved protection, armament and an overhauled active stealth system expected to make them even harder to detect and an even more persistent threat as a solo commerce raider and deterrent. Whether that is worth the additional cost remains to be seen.
Another variant of the 995 stuffs a generator and a scanning array into the cargo hold for the ship to act as a picket ship or scout. These are deployed in association with other ships now and again to provide extended search and surveillance support. Such ships are typically outfitted with missile armament similar to the cargo configuration.
