Spalite Galactic Empire – The Spalite Space Navy Fleet – General Information Guide

Overview: ---

The Spalites have a powerful military, which includes the Spalite Space Navy Fleets. It is a force to be reckoned with, because the military uses a special liquid called Spalium liquid to power things like engines, weapons, shields, and more.

Spalium is essentially the main power source, but it’s only able to be extracted from Spaligard’s crust, making the Spalites have a high advantage.

Also including, there are 2 fleet types, The Spalite Space Navy Fleet, and The Spalite Royal Guard Fleet. The Royal Guard is the fleet that protects the Royal Family’s Ships.

The Royal Guard Fleet is not used in normal fleet duties, only when a war breaks out.

Weapon Specifications, Common types:

Spalium can be turned into a powerful energy source if you heat it up to make it boil. Spalium only needs to work if it’s above 100 degrees celcius.

Laser/Missile Weapons:

Spalium Railgun-Cannon

A laser made of spalium that is shot really fast. It can shoot within cooldowns of 2 seconds and can cut through most material and can break a deflector shield within a few shots.

Spalium Cannon Mark II

The Spalium Cannon Mark VI is the 2nd improved model of the Spalium cannon. Just like the Spalium Railgun-Cannon, but it shoots slower, less powerful, but it can shoot quickly.

It’s a good use for closer range, it’s not reliable at a far range.

Spalium AAM Point-Defense

A smaller Spalium Cannon that is intended for anti aircraft purposes. Small and fast at shooting, it can hit things like Fighter Aircraft, and incoming missiles that the larger weapons won’t be able to hit. (AAM stands for Anti Aircraft and Missile.)

Spalium Proton-QuickShot Missile

A Missile fused with Spalium energy, the Spalium Proton-QuickShot Missile can be shot quickly so time can be saved.

The Torpedoes are usually intended for slow moving targets, and also have longer range than the Spalium Cannons/Railguns.

Shield/Defense Weapons:

Spalium Deflector Shield

A shield generator that covers the entire ship that can block weapons from hitting the ship itself. It has a limit, as if it takes too much damage, the generator will have to recharge, which could take hours. Yes, it is powered by Spalium.

Spalium Deflector Drone

A drone that has the capability to put a “Shield” in front of it, usually the drones will fly in front of something they want to protect. If a ship doesn’t have a Spalium Deflector Shield, they usually use this.

Special Weapons:

(Light) Spalium-Plasma Lance

A projection of concentrated Spalium and Plasma energy that lasts 5 seconds and can tear through most materials, but at a force 4 times as strong, and can penetrate shields quickly as well. The Light version is smaller.

(Light) Spalium-Plasma Spread

A Projection of concentrated Spalium and Plasma energy that shoots out in all directions in the front, like a shotgun. It is not as powerful as the Spalium-Plasma Lance, but it can hit a lot more targets at once. The Light version is smaller.

Extra Information: --

Jumping to Hyperspace:

There is a segment inside of a Spalium Engine that has a nuclear reactor. When Spalium is injected into the system, it turbo-boosts the engine, permitting it to jump past light speed.

There is a military variant and a civilian variant of the engine. The military variant can jump faster, and the civilian one jumps a bit slower and uses less power.

Sub-Hyperspace speeds:

Outside of Hyperspace, the ships have a limited speed. Larger ships, like capital ships, carriers, etc. Usually can go a max of 7 space knots, the medium ships, like battleships, cruisers, destroyers, etc. Can go around 13 space knots, and the small ships, like the frigates, scout vessels, and more can go the fastest, at a speed of 15-18 space knots.

Types of Vessels in the generic fleet:

Flagship/Capital Ships

Cruisers +

Carriers +

Battleships +

Destroyers +

Frigates +

Corvette +

Scouts +

Long-Range Orbital Defense Platforms +

Healer Vessels +

Fleet Information: ---

The fleets are usually named by who the leader of the fleet is, by their last name. An example could be, let’s say their name is Steve Yamada. “Yamada” would be used, thus the name being: “The Yamada Fleet”.

There is also a fleet called the Royal Spalite Guard Fleet. It is a fleet consisting of modified “special” versions of the standard ships that are used in the regular fleets.

Vessel/Ship Information: ---I: Cruisers, Battleships and Destroyers

Conquest-Class Cruiser

The mainstay of the Spalite Space Navy Fleet, The Conquest-Class Cruiser is usually the Flagship of the fleets. Equipped with a strong Spalium Deflector Shield, it is hard to pierce through the shield. Along with good weapons, the Conquest-Class Cruiser is a force to be reckoned with.

Excalibur-Class Executive Battleship

The Excalibur-Class has a formidable force of slow but great firepower. Equipped with modified Spalium Cannon Mark VIs, the modified versions shoot slower but with heavier shots. The Excalibur-Class was once the most common ship in the fleet, as newer development ships are slowly phasing them out.

Basilisk-Class Standard Battleship

Essentially a medium-small sized Excalibur-Class, these are basically meant for low-ranked captains that are newer to the navy. Eventually, a captain can work their way up to being able to command an Excalibur-Class Battleship.

Rhodes-Class Standard Battleship

An upgraded version of the Basilisk-Class, The Rhodes-Class is usually the ship captains move onto after the Basilisk-Class. Equipped with a Light Spalium-Plasma Spread, it can shred enemy ships well.

Nautilus-Class “Grey Nova” Executive Destroyer

Often known as the Grey Nova, The Nautilus-Class Destroyer was designed for all-out firepower strength. Equipped with Spalium Railgun-Cannons and Spalium Cannon Mark VIs, and specially 2 Spalium-Plasma Lances fitted on the front of the ship. Although this may be a good advantage, there is a lack of shield deflectors on the ship, leaving it vulnerable to attacks.

Odyssey-Class Standard Destroyer

Another example of an entry level ship for new captains once again, it’s a smaller version of the Nautilus-Class (Grey Wolf) Destroyer. Like said again, a captain can eventually make their way up the ranks to be able to pilot a better ship.

Javelin-Class Standard Destroyer

Another example of an entry level ship for new captains once again, it’s also the sister ship to The Odyssey-Class. Like said again, a captain can eventually make their way up the ranks to be able to pilot a better ship.

II: Carriers and Frigates -

Adamant-Class Carrier

The Adamant-Class Carrier can store hundreds of fighters, being able to at least carry more than 10 fighter squadrons inside. The large hangar bay allows easy access to the outside, along with a repair shop to fix the fighters on the ship. Equipped with modified Spalium Shield Deflectors, the Deflectors are much stronger than the regular ones, and has an okay firepower. The Shields are the reason these ships are almost never destroyed.

Arachne-Class Carrier

Another smaller and similar version of the Adamant-Class Carrier, the Arachne-Class Carrier carries less fighters, but usually largely sized groups of these ships are always placed, because these ships have a standard Spalite Shield-Deflector, which is not as strong as the Adamant-Class's Shield Deflector.

Garland-Class Frigate

The Garland-Class Frigate is commonly used in training fleets for the military, and doesn’t really see any action. These ships are very quick and can warp faster than most ships, like The Falcon-Class and the Phoenix-Class, its smaller counterparts.

Garland-Class Frigate Mark II

The 2nd version of the Garland-Class Frigate, this is basically a newer version that isn’t used at all in the training fleets, these versions are out in the fleets, with the same quick speeds and improved firepower and better use of Spalium Deflector Shields.

III: Corvettes, Dreadnoughts ---

Falcon-Class Corvette

One of the fastest ships in the fleet, The Falcon-Class Corvette is usually used for hit-and-run tactics, using its firepower and speed to dodge enemy firepower, while hitting them with ease. The Falcon-Class Corvette has a powerful sub-hypersonic engine, and has a Nuclear-Fusion Engine to double its speed of 18 space knots for a short period of time.

Albatross-Class Dreadnought

A modified version of the Falcon-Class, it is a mix between a battleship and a corvette. Although not the fastest, the Albatross-Class is quick enough, and boasts a reliable amount of firepower and defenses.

Phoenix-Class “Silver Meteor” Scout-Corvette

A smaller and similar counterpart of The Falcon-Class, the Phoenix-Class, also nicknamed affectionately “Silver Meteor” by its crews. This is technically the only ships that do scouting, because it is also the smallest ship in the fleet.

IV: Orbital Defense Platforms (ODPs)

Endeavor-Class Orbital Defense Platform

The Endeavor-Class Orbital Defense Platform is a large space-station with a giant Spalium-Plasma Spread. The Lance Variant is optional. These are usually meant to defend Spalite-Controlled Planets if a possible threat tries to come in. Although 1 is strong on its own, there are usually 5 in the same area to aid other Endeavor-Classes nearby.

Onyx-Class Orbital Defense Platform

A smaller, lighter version of the Endeavor-Class, it has a Light Spalium-Plasma Spread and Lance. It fires them a lot faster than the larger Spalium-Plasma Spread/Lance.

V: Special/Other --

Restitutio-Class Healing Vessel

The Restitutio-Class Healing Vessel is built off of the Garland-Class design, and is basically a vessel that can fix other damaged ships. Restitutio is a Latin word that means “restoration” Restitutio-Classes are equipped with a bunch of spare parts and tools to fix a ship up.

Aegis-Class Defender

A ship with a giant shield in front of it. Using Garudan Alloy, it can withstand multiple attacks, and it also can handle high heat temperatures. Usually on the frontlines, they are used as a first line of defense.

Spalite-Class Super Cruiser

The personal ship for the royal family, it is the largest ship the Spalites have ever made. It is equipped with modifications like a reinforced Spalite Shield-Deflector, and a Spalium Cannon Mark VII, which has improved upon the previous model, being stronger and reinforced with extra armor.

The ship can separate in half as well, which is used in emergencies, like if the back is heavily damaged, the ship can separate so the other side won’t get damaged.
