Yorktown and Tallahassee class Confederation capships

Yorktown and Tallahassee class capships in Cairo System.

The Yorktown light carrier, designed more than fifty years before the Kilrathi War, is still proudly serving in the Navy. Constantly modernized and refitted to keep up with modern times, they are invaluable support to larger Confederation carriers. Though well shielded, the light carrier wields only defensive laser turrets and a capship missile launcher, counting on her four squadrons of fighters for protection.

The Tallahassee heavy cruiser is the most formidable escort warship in the Terran Navy, it can outgun and outlast any fighting warship in the Kilrathi Navy short of a dreadnought. Neither fast nor agile as smaller destroyers and frigates, this warship instead relies on in heavy firepower and armor to bull through Kilrathi capships. Its keel-mounted plasma gun, anti-matter batteries, and missiles serve as invaluable fire-support for fleet actions and orbital bombardment operations.
