Expanse Warships Beta

Expanse Region Warships

Type 073-C Hainan Corvette
See Rim Warships for full details
Base Purchase price: 30 Wealth
Availability: Open
Special: Expanse states pay 1/2 supply for unmodified Type 073-C Hainan Corvettes. Treated as Civilian ships for FTL travel time calculation.
Not all buyers for the Type-73 were on the Rim; the Hainan fills the important local patrol role for many Expanse states.

Orfey Class Destroyer
See Sino-Russian Warships for full details
Base Purchase price: 80 Wealth
Availability: Open
Many older Orfey destroyers were decommissioned en masse in the late 2180s; with a decade or more of well-maintained service life in their hulls they found friendly homes in many Expanse navies.

Proton light cruiser
[1] See ZOCU Warships for full details
Base Purchase price: 75 Wealth (60 for nations with Treaty of Sirius)
Availability: Open
Mass-produced Protons were sold or provided to ZOCU-friendly powers both during and after the war; they have even turned up in fleets that were hostile to ZOCU.

Lepanto Class Cruiser
See European Union Warships for full details
Base Purchase price: 180 Wealth
Availability: Open
Special: Expanse states pay 1/2 supply for unmodified Lepanto cruisers.
While Lepantos are considered out of date in the modern EU fleet, they are common across the Expanse due to their rugged reliability.

A number of Ionia heavy cruisers were built for friendly powers during the First Space War; while indistinguishable from standard-mark Ionias they were never fitted with the powerful mega particle beam guns that domestic Ionias featured. Even after the war, the large hangars on these ships ensured their continued longitevity.

A recent design from Tensor Industries, the Typhoon Strike Cruiser was surrounded by secrecy until its quiet unveiling in mid-2193. Equipped with a plethora of high-tech systems it is a showcase of Tensor's technological know-how, though rumors remain that Tensor traded significant resources to an undisclosed Expanse power to properly integrate the Theta drive. Indeed, it is not even certain where the Theta dust originated from.

Enigmas aside, the Typhoon is a highly effective warship on paper and capable of fighting almost any heavy cruiser in the galaxy on equal terms. Its ability to carry up to two HLVs or mobile armors only helps. However, unlike the newer Bullhead prototype it lacks any organic hangar space, a continuing point of criticism. The exact number of Typhoons sold by Tensor has not been publically released and so far, Tensor has resisted all inquiries into the matter.
