UCM Beijing Battleship
The mighty Beijing class battleship is the oldest class of combat starship in general
service with the Colonial Fleet. UCMS Beijing was laid down in 2579 and completed Length: 1293m
in 2586, making her 85 years old at the time of her destruction in the first battle of Beam: 421m
Olympus. However, that first example was followed by dozens more of her class Height: 383m
and construction still continues to the present day. The design has proven so reli- Displacement:
able and versatile that the basic hull forms the base of most of the UCM’s enormous
21,289,000m³
battleships.
The Beijing class is an extremely resilient vessel which packs extensive firepower,
namely six UF-6400 mass drivers in three turrets, twelve UF-4200 mass drivers in
four turrets and one Cobra laser, not to mention scores of missile bays and banks
of point defence lasers. It is currently one of the most popular commands of the
UCMF’s Admirals and for good reason – few ships the UCM has to offer are as effec-
tive in the annihilation of any enemy as the formidable Beijing. Most of the UCMF’s
battleships are surrounded by tales of their illustrious deeds, their names etched
into the collective consciousness of the colonial citizenry and this class has no
shortage of legends.

The New York class is one of the most in-demand ships in the UCMF since its flex- Length: 1293m
ibility and awesome power are almost unparalleled. A later development of the Beam: 421m
Beijing class, it replaces the former’s heavy turrets with a gigantic voidcraft hangar Height: 383m
for launching scores of lethal fighters and bombers. It also replaces the Cobra laser Displacement:
with an enormous torpedo tube and internal storage for two of these devastating
25,253,000m³
munitions. As such, it can take advantage of the lower power requirements of its
launch assets to bring more offensive capability to bear when conducting complex
manoeuvres, all while producing less conspicuous energy spikes.
While less common than the Beijing (as far as any battleship can be described as
‘common’), a total of 19 are currently on the register – a respectable number but
sorely below current demand, which cannot be met quickly due to the complexity
of construction. A shortage of trained pilots compounds the issue, exacerbated by
the terrible losses sustained by the Fleet Air Arm above Olympus.

UCM Tokyo Battleship
The colossal Tokyo class battleship is one of the most specialised ships of this ton-
nage level in the UCMF. While based on the Beijing design, this class dispenses Length: 1293m
with its main mass driver battery in favour of three turreted UF/B-8000 bombard Beam: 421m
cannons, making this one of the most formidable orbital bombardment platforms Height: 383m
anywhere in the Reconquest. Only the UCM has need of a battleship sized vessel Displacement:
designed for this purpose, such is the scale of the mighty undertaking.
21,362,000m³
In combat, the Tokyo surpasses the Madrid in this role when heavy return fire is
expected. Conducting a surface bombardment is always risky and requires a stable
platform to hold station above the target which will always be vulnerable to enemy
reprisals. Fortunately, the Tokyo has extreme resilience to damage, allowing it to
decimate the target while defending itself with other potent weapons, ensuring that
the job is done regardless of available support or enemy presence.

designed for battleship-level firepower and cruiser-level speed at the expense of sur- Height: 368m

during the Wolfrum Penal Insurrection and limited engagements with the Shaltari
before 2659, proving the concept.
Following this success, the Johannesburg class was designed around an entirely
new hull created for the specific requirements of battlecruisers. This class is far
cheaper to produce and easier to maintain being purpose built, although its combat
effectiveness is equivalent. With this development, Atlantis remains the only ship of
her class and is still in active service, while the Johannesburgs are quickly eclipsing
her in numbers as the Reconquest grinds on.

conspicuous when fired, necessitating careful use by a skilled captain. At the con-

with the Johannesburg, this class is more efficient in mass production and incor-

forty years and has accumulated an illustrious service history. There are still few Height: 341m
ships in the UCMF’s arsenal that deliver such heavy and flexible firepower in a cruis- Displacement:

This class has been the mainstay of the fleet’s vanguard operations for many de-
cades and has thus once been the command of many of the fleet’s current Admi-
rals. Some ships of this class are over fifty years old by this time and have accumu-
lated accolades and personalities that most newer ships cannot match. Despite
their venerable age, these older Rios have been performing admirably across the
battlefields of the Reconquest, proving that their storied careers are far from over.

UCM Berlin Cruiser
The Berlin class cruiser was developed in the 2650’s as the first cruiser-tonnage
platform to bear the formidable Cobra anti-ship laser. This weapon had previously Length: 956m
only been mounted on larger ships, where its colossal power requirements would Beam: 301m
be more manageable. With the constant advances in technology that characterises Height: 308m
the build up to the Reconquest, it became possible to use the weapon on smaller Displacement:
ships. The marriage of the Cobra and a more agile hull proved highly effective and
7,682,000m³
the Berlin class quickly became a mainstay of the fleet, although demand from the
Admiralty has always outstripped supply from Niccolum’s shipyards.
The Berlin is a highly effective vanguard unit, capable of taking significant punish-
ment while responding with a range of weapons systems against multiple threats.
The Cobra laser itself is most often employed against high value assets where its
focused devastation can prove decisive. The weapon also has the useful side-effect
of heating the hull of the target ship, making it far easier for the rest of the fleet to
achieve accurate target locks.

One issue with the classic Berlin class cruiser has always been the constant refits.
The interchangeable, modular nature of traditional colonial shipbuilding left the Length: Classified

dissipation challenging, leading to extreme local operating temperatures and fre- Height: Classified
quent failures. Titania Fleet System’s new design (named after the city of New Ber- Displacement:
lin) incorporates the laser into the superstructure, allowing heat to be channelled

into the vast mass of the hull for eventual radiation into space. Effectively using the
entire ship as a heat-sync allows 150% longer intervals between refits.
In combat performance, the Titania New Berlin matches the older pattern while
requiring less crew, less energy and less maintenance. Despite this, TFS’s yards are
small, incomplete and incomparable to the vast conurbations orbiting the gas giant
Niccolum. Also, the corporation has to compete with over a century’s entrenched
shipbuilding ethos, and Titania Berlin will likely remain a rare but welcome sight on
the frontlines for some time..

tal ship in the UCMF dedicated to the orbital bombardment role – a crucial compo- Height: 308m

shells towards a planet’s surface to inflict biblical damage on ground targets. These
weapons are also surprisingly crude and thus inexpensive to produce which is vital,
since the UCM is always in need of their services.
While it also carries some ship-to-ship weapons, the Madrid requires close protec-
tion against enemy vessels above frigate tonnage since its bombardment cannons
are useless against void targets. In its intended role, the Madrid can level whole
districts in minutes by accurately targeting key areas while leaving the majority of
the city intact for later capture. The captaincy of such a vessel is not for the faint
hearted or those with a classical sense of honour, who would surely blanch at the
idea of visiting ruin on hapless multitudes from orbit.

UCM New Cairo Light
Cruiser
The New Cairo class light cruiser is a recent development of the Osaka class that
only entered service in 2669, making it one of the newest types in the UCMF. The Length: 816m
New Cairo is armed with a single Cobra heavy laser, a powerful weapon capable Beam: 301m
of cutting to the core of an enemy capital ship and more than capable of slicing a Height: 308m
frigate in half in a single burn. However, its utility is limited to a narrow arc in front Displacement:
of the ship, making the New Cairo an even more focused tool than the Osaka in an

gets where it can use its superior combat speed to attain a firing position. Much like
other light cruisers, the New Cairo is less effective in general engagements or in the
heart of the battle, where its lack of flexible firepower is telling.
New Cairos tend to attract captains with a focused zeal on the mission at the ex-
pense of all surrounding distractions, verging on the single-minded. A ridged
adherence to orders coupled with aggression is also essential as these attack dogs
must strike decisively and quickly if they are to prevail in the maelstrom of combat.

UCM San Francisco
Troopship
The San Francisco is the UCM’s primary means of getting massive troop concentra-

tactical assaults against hardened targets, they cannot deliver the sheer numbers Beam: 301m
of troops needed in planetary conquest. Troopships instead utilise bulk landers to Height: 368m
drop thousands of men direct from orbit. While more efficient than strike carriers, Displacement:
troopships are best utilised away from enemy ships since they cannot operate in the
9,588,000m³

Vessels of the class can accommodate around 25,000 troops and support staff for
protracted operations or briefly up to 60,000 in cramped conditions, such as dur-
ing the opening day/s of full planetary invasions. A San Francisco’s bulk landers can
also deliver payloads too large for dropships, such as ground batteries, making them
essential for fortifying captured or unoccupied ground.

such, the Taipei must use its superior speed to attain close action range before it can 2,063,000m³
strike with the full force of its Piranha missile system. Its attacks can be blocked by
point defence so this class is most potent as a pack hunter, where the sheer volume
of munitions can overcome these measures. It is also adept at hunting smaller ves-
sels and non-combat ships, which often feature inferior point defence capabilities.
Such an offensive mission profile clearly suits the bravest of captains who are ready
to take risks and happy to operate far from the main fleet. Such attributes are neces-
sary as regrettably, survival rates for the Taipei class are among the worst of all UCMF
ships. The repair docks of Niccolum are littered with Taipei’s sporting horrific dam-

Frigate
The Jakarta class aegis frigate was designed solely for close protection and escort
missions around larger ships. While it is equipped with minimal offensive firepower, Length: 588m
its real value comes from an impressive array of Aegis-V point defence lasers that Displacement:
equal those on much larger vessels. Crucially, the Jakarta can lend this protection to 2,044,000m³
other ships, guarding them from enemy close action fire and bomber attack. As a
high speed frigate, this shield can be directed to where it’s needed, increasing effi-
ciency and reducing redundancy. Since Scourge close action weapons are frighten-
ingly effective, the development of this class was a priority from the early planning
stages of the Reconquest.
Jakartas tend to attract solid, reliable captains that prefer to work towards the greater
good with the minimum of self-aggrandisement. This is just as well, as opportunities
for personal glory are few and far between on such a defensively-oriented class. How-
ever, the Admiralty recognises these qualities in a ship’s captain and after a few tours,
such leaders may graduate to the command of a troopship or a high level posting in
logistics, where a level-headed team player is prized above any firebrand.

allowing the Istanbul to be over-gunned for its relatively small size. It features a
massive UF-B-9000 mass-driver, in a unique, rotating mount; supporting its defen-
sive role. This allows the Istanbul to easily engage targets in higher orbital layers or

UCM Vienna Escort
Frigate
The Vienna shares some advantages and disadvantages of its sister class: low speed,
high armour, and high firepower. However, it must be used in a slightly more con- Length: 530m
ventional manner, since it suffers the same loss of performance when firing between Displacement:
orbital layers as ordinary vessels. It makes up for this by mounting an anti-ship laser 3,838,000m³
- the smallest UCM ship to be able to do so - due to its otherwise low power require-
ments.
It also fits into a quite different role: that of battleship escort. Used in this way, its
laser serves the useful secondary purpose of heating the target, assisting the much
larger ship’s gunnery. Given this application, the Vienna also mounts additional
point-defence clusters for limited aegis capability, although not up to the level of the
Jakarta, which was designed for this role alone. Since its sublight speed matches that
of a slow battleship, it can keep up.

UCM Havana Destroyer
The Havana is the earliest type of destroyer currently in service with the UCMF,
having first seen combat with the Shaltari in 2596. Its design stems from older and Length: 772m
largely outmoded naval strategies revolving around the use of torpedoes as primary Displacement:
weapons. Since the 2620s, the Admiralty shifted away from the idea of these colossal 4,305,000m³
munitions due to their very limited capacity and a tendency towards overkill. Both
traits make them unreliable and expensive weapons compared to mass drivers.
As the vast naval build-up to the Reconquest gathered steam, it was deemed that tor-
pedoes should not consume precious resources for anything other than large vessels.
As such, production of the Havana more or less ceased. Those that remain (and have
survived the first few years of carnage) are now highly prized assets, able to deliver
stunning amounts of damage to any target, disproportionate to their size. While the
Havana may be a dinosaur in the modern fleet, old school admirals greatly covet the

UCM Vancouver Escort
Carrier
The Vancouver class emerged from the UCMF Naval Design Bureau in the late 2640s
in response to the obvious need for more cost effective fighter and bomber support Length: 642m
than the well armed Seattle class offered. The Bureau opted for a vessel of destroyer Displacement:
tonnage - that is, a ship larger than a frigate but smaller than a cruiser for ease of 4,008,000m³
mass manufacture. As a relatively new class, its numbers are currently low but
increasing as the ever growing demands and spoils of the Reconquest spur the yards
into unprecedented productivity.
As a fighting ship, the Vancouver is very poorly armed in comparison with the Se-
attle, but offers a greater launch capacity in comparison to its cost. As such, it is best
utilised in rearguard and central fleet operations, where conventional warships can
protect it from enemy action. Thanks to its bomber compliment, the Vancouver is
particularly dangerous to smaller vessels with poor point defence, while its fighters
can lend crucial protection to other vessels.

hands of this smaller adversary since its inception in the 2640s.
These weapons are also large enough in gauge to fire new and experimental muni-
tions featuring molecular repulsion technology. These can cut through atmosphere
and reach targets normally safe from the attentions of orbiting spacecraft.
It is also an unusual ship due to its triple-hull configuration, borrowing core su-

to appreciate. Such was the tactical potential that many hulls intended to be Reykja-
viks were converted to Nuuks at the construction stage.
The Nuuk’s ability to directly damage an opponent is limited, but a concentrated,
close-range blast from its beamer can render an enemy ship confused and unable to
compute complex tasks, such as plotting firing solutions for all weapons.
This is devastatingly effective at hobbling capital ships, although Nuuk captains
must use their speed to get behind their targets before their small ship is vaporised
by a vengeful giant.

UCM Reykjavik
Cutter
Cutters have been a specialist part of the UCMF since its inception. The concept
is simple: a fast ship near frigate tonnage designed to chase and slay already fast Length: 552m
enemy scouts, outliers and support vessels. The Reykjavik is the newest of these, Displacement:
having only entered widespread service early in the Reconquest. The vessel is state 3,561,000m³
of the art, crew-centric and one of the fastest ships in the fleet through the simple
expedient of a bloated drive bank more suited to a cruiser.
Reykjaviks generally operate ahead of the main fleet and are often tasked with mak-
ing the first small but crucial kills in an engagement. The class is well equipped to
achieve this, packing a pair of fixed UF-9000-S mass drivers: short-barrelled ver-
sions of those found on dreadnought turrets. These weapons are powerful enough
to worry anything, though cutter captains would do well to consider the fragility
and specialist role of their ships before tackling larger prey.

The Santiago class corvette is a small, atmospheric-capable vessel of sub-frigate tonnage. These nimble, fast ships
were designed for a single purpose - hunting down enemy atmospheric fleet assets. They are armed with a potent
array of air-to-air missiles, utterly lethal to the frigate sized vessels that are its favourite prey. In particular, strike
carriers and their precious cargo are prime targets since these strategically vital ships are shielded from the ma-
jority of enemy fire while operating in atmosphere.
Santiagos are favoured by the most aggressive captains fresh from Niccolum’s Naval Academy. Atmospheric
combat is not for the faint of heart as it must be fought only at close range where the small Santiago is always
vulnerable to return fire. The uniquely challenging nature of these operations is a fiery crucible from which many
budding captains do not return, but those that do are often destined for greatness in the future.

entered service in 2669. It is the UCMF’s first fully cloaked warship, pushing mul- Displacement:
tiple 1st gen classified stealth systems to their current limits of scale. The class is 1,506,000m³
equipped for extended infiltrations including limited surface landings to scout
potential invasion sites and support Resistance groups.
Initially the class was Level-6 classified and generally reserved for Marine Force
Black - the UCM’s most elite troops under the Office of Naval Intelligence. Rumours
circulated among the admiralty, where demands for access to such a tool grew from
whispers into shouts. As the Battle for Earth loomed, the Lysander’s existence was
confirmed and production ramped up. While still precious assets, limited numbers
are now available to support regular frontline operations and first strike incursions.
