Intro 8 - Confederation capships

Confederation capships Yorktown, Caernaven and Southampton class.

Caernaven-class: A light escort ship, the Caernaven frigate is a ubiquitous warship still deployed along the front lines. At a fraction the cost of a regular fleet destroyer, the ubiquitous Caernaven is the Swiss army knife of the Terran arsenal, able to do any routine task with ease. Fast and nimble, its laser batteries and anti-fighter missile launchers serve as effective deterrence against Kilrathi fighters and light raiders. From assuming a traditional convoy escort role to patrol duty, this aged frigate still performs whatever duty it is assigned with the quiet dignity of a seasoned soldier.

Yorktown-class: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.

Southampton-class: The smallest capital ship with true offensive capabilities, destroyers serve as a mainstay warship in the Terran Navy. These versatile and multi-purpose vessels can be found as part of larger battle groups or in destroyer squadrons or even alone, competent in both standup fights with other hard-hitting warships or attacking fighters. Very well shielded and armored for its size, they are capable of engaging in ship-to-ship combat with either its powerful energy weapons or its array of missile batteries. In addition, these fast and maneuverable warships can run down any capship in the Kilrathi arsenal.
