To maintain and improve the Lorian quality of life
To ensure freedom of navigation in international territories
To support the other aspects of the Lorian military
To defend the GLOCK
The LOF feature many officers trained at the RMG academy, volunteers as well as manumen. Currently the GLOCK operates 6 conventional fleets and one black ops fleet. The Black ops fleet is stationed in the secretive MAW galaxy. Any personnel signing onto the black ops fleet, sign a contact that state after their term of service is over they'll agree to their memories being doctored to remove all classified information. Despite this, serving in the Black ops fleet is considered one of the greatest honours space service personnel can achieve.
Largest war vessel of any nation. Essentially a giant bulk transporter fitted with defenses and a fairly light armament considering its size. This acts as the command and control centre of the fleet. While it lacks large numbers of fixed armament for its size, it can become the most heavily armed vessel of any nation considering that it can transport 2 armies worth of troops. This increase the number of armaments present on the ship by 4 orders of magnitude.
Destroyer:
These vessels are designed as multirole vessels. They’re capable of everything from transporting troops, to conducting long range patrols, to ship to ship combat and to orbital bombardment.
Frigate:
Essentially fulfilling the same role as destroyers but 3x smaller (and 3x cheaper).
Gunship:
An anti-capital ship vessel. It mounts more large caliber guns than a destroyer. Its role is the sustained and accurate bombardment of large enemy vessels from great range. It is able to function well as an orbital bombardment platform as well.
Corvette:
Take a frigate and downsize it by a factor of 3.
Corvette Escort:
These are designed to engage enemy strikecraft and missiles. They feature large numbers of low powered weapons to deal with masses of incoming enemy vessels. The ideological opposite of the gunship.
Missile Boat:
Their role in combat is to engage medium and large sized enemy vessels. Generally 4 or so missile boats will fire their entire payload at a single enemy capital ship to overwhelm its defenses.
Patrol:
These operate on the furthest fringes of our formation to provide data. Equipped with extremely powerful comms and sensor arrays as well as static generators. Act as a picket force. Also quite quick so they can quickly reenter the safety of the main fleet’s gun.
Bomber:
These vessels are the smallest vessel we operate and are designed to target enemy frigate sized ships and bigger with missiles and other ordnance from close range.
Bomber escort:
Essentially these fly alongside bombers to engage enemy strikecraft.
Lorian Design Ideology[]
Lorian vessels tend to be larger than equivalents in other nations, in part due to their heavy armour, armament and massive power systems. Lorian major combat vessels are designed to be as multifunctional as possible. Major vessels maintain an internal security complement, separate to the rest of the crew. These groups are armed with surprisingly heavy weaponry. APC's have been used in an internal security role.
Most major ships possess basic manufacturing and medical centres with the assault carriers and destroyers having more advanced hospital centres than many nations. All ships are equipped with the energy to ammunition system developed by Letharia as well as basic manufacturing facilities. They also have AMAT gathering systems onboard, to provide supplies in an emergency.
Lorian vessels have the highest acceleration and agility in sub light condition of any nation due to their advanced inertial suppression technology and high powered sub light engines. They have built in hollow space generators that are rarely used as well as ice cold systems.
In addition to standard weaponry, some ships carry hush corner and hypometric weapon systems. All ships bar bombers and assault transports are equipped with static. All vessels have paladin, crusader and some form of templar defensive systems present. Larger vessels have the hoplite defensive network as well.
Lorian vessels make heavy use of the onegun system. This is a coilgun that can fire standard rounds, plasma rounds, ultra-high-energy cosmic ray lasers or missiles. The plasma rounds contain an exciter inside a plasma blast that will cause an acceleration effect turning it into an exploding particle-acceleration DEW. They’ll also be able to fire single use Ultra-high-energy cosmic ray laser shells. The shell will contain the necessary apparatus to fire a shot. It will be powered by the coilguns magnets and once the round has been expended the canister is fired as a conventional round.
In addition to conventional FTL systems, lorian ships also possess a stealthy wormhole generator, tardis generators and a regular wormhole generator.
