Imperial Starfleet
As a result of early space exploration in the Treksylvania era, a space fleet has been built up for both the Holy Empire and the current successor, the Intergalactic Empire of Trekylon. The current number of starships is still growing as new starship classes are being constructed all the time, thanks to resources gathered on Luneria and Inuyashia. The same resources are being used to build up the Dual Monarchy's own fleet of ships. Trekylon is also assisting Inuyashia in building their fleet of ships. This is the result of the partnership which the Dual Monarchy represent.
Starbases
Base-star Mark I "Destroyer" Constructed in secret following the First Levant War, the Mark I base-star carries 20 turbolasers, 20 missile batteries, and two launch bays that can hold up to 1,000 fighters and ships the size of the Miranda-class and smaller. FTL capable, thanks to a jump-engine that gives it the ability to arrive at a destination almost instantly.
Currently, the Mark I base-star orbits the moon, guarding the Luneria colonies, but always has an eye trained back home, in the event of an attack. Base-star Mark II "Guardian" The next evolution in starbase development came with the completion of the Mark II Base-star, code-named "Guardian". Able to house starships up to Galaxy-class and smaller, the Mark II base-star also carries 20 turbolasers, 20 missile batteries, and two launch bays. The Mark IIs can also jump in and out of a battle, thanks to their FTL drives.
Currently, there is one Mark II base-star orbitting the colony world of Argolis, and 7 base-stars in the location of the Seige Dyson sphere construction site. Base-Star Mark III (Panthera only) This base-star is the largest base-star in the Imperial Starfleet. It is different from the other base-star classes due to the lack of an FTL drive. It hovers above the capital, New Columbus, at a goesynchronous orbit. At night, it can be seen by the engineers, soldiers, and the few colonists that have made Panthera home

Fleet Yards
Colony ship
CS-Class colony ship
The CS-Class colony ship is the primary colony ship used by the Intergalactic Empire of Trekylon. Originally developed in the Treksylvania era, the CS-class can carry a maximum passenger load of 2,000 people. Easily broken down into makeshift shelters on planetary surfaces while supply ships bring more permanent pre-fabricated buildings. Armed with pulse blasters as a defense against raiders and pirates. Currently, there are 6 colony ships in active service, mostly ferrying new colonists to Panthera, Orion, and Khazaria.
Cargo Hauler
Z-Class cargo hauler
The Z-Class cargo hauler is a 4 person ship which is built to haul various forms of cargo across Imperial space. Capable of erecting a forcefield in the event hazardous cargo is loosed within the ship. Cockpit can also jettison, and serve as a lifepod in an emergency. Cargo capacity of 100,000 lbs. Maximum speed of warp 7.5
Star Fighters
Thunderbolts
Thunderbolt in space
The Thunderbolts are the backbone of the Airforce. Able to fly backwards, sidewards, and do 360 degree turns using thrusters. Carries two pulse cannons, two interceptor cannons, and can carry an additional 8 missiles. Cockpit can jettison if fighter gets damaged. Thunderbolts are atmosphere and space capable. Mark II models can seat two occupants. Thunderbolts are also spaceflight capable, manuevering much like the Starfuries
Starfuries
Starfury in flight
Starfuries are the backbone of fighter defense/offense in the Imperial Starfleet. Capable of 360 degree turns, backwards and diagonal flight, the Starfuries are fast and manueverable when used in combat. Cockpit can jettison if the fighter is damaged in action. Carries two megapulse cannons, two turbolasers and interceptor cannons. Deployed from carrier starship, Starfuries act to form a defensive perimeter around the mothership. Various fighter wings are spread across the empire, the most prominent being the Alpha, Delta, Gamma, and Zeta groups.
CX-1 Strykor fighter-bombers
The CX-1 Strykor fighter-bombers are the heavy hitters of the Imperial Starfleet. Larger than the Starfuries, the Strykors can deliver missiles or bombs to enemy capital ships. As a result, these fighters are not as manueverable as the Starfuries or Thunderbolts.. One person cockpit which can jettison if the fighter is damaged. Carries two phaser emitters on the tips of the 'points' on the wings, and two pulse-cannons. Strykors are generally deployed by the same carrier starship which deploys the Starfuries and Thunderbolts.
Starships
Nimitz-class heavy carrier The Nimitz-class heavy carrier is a heavily-armed, moderately-armoured carrier starship, named after US admiral Nimitz. Bristling with anti-fighter gun turrets, phaser banks, and pulse cannons, the Nimitz-class carriers can deploy up to 2,500 fighters, 200 dropships, and 100 runabouts of various classes. Can achieve a warp speed of 9.25. Currently, there are 5 ships in service, though none are on combat duty.
Typhon-class carrier The Typhon-class ships are the moderately armed, heavily armoured fighter carriers in the Imperial Starfleet. They can carry scoutships, and Starfury fighters, as well as 5 armed runabouts. bow, port. starboard, and stern phaser banks, phase cannons, and a forward and aft torpedo bay give this ship moderate defensive capability. Capable of warp 9.5. Crew complement 300

Medical Frigates
Medical Frigate IMS William Harvey, named for the father of cardiology
The Medical Frigates are very lightly-armed medical transport ships with hangar bays large enough to house a Sovereign-class starship. Ship has over 1,000 medical facilities for everything from First Aid, to childbirth, to radiation-sickness treatment. Command Deck is located at the top of the ship. Generally recognized as a non-combatant ship, yet carries AA pulse turrets and interceptor guns in the event an enemy tries to attack it while the medical staff and crew attempt to treat the wounded. Currently, there are three medical frigates in orbit of Argolis following the comet impact that struck the northern polar region.
Superweapons of Holy Trek Imperial Starfleet
Xindi slicer weapon Initially an Imperial Federation weapon, the schematics for this weapon was shared with Holy Trek's Minister of Sci-Tech during the height of the Second Yee War. With the completion of the proto-types and testing, the slicers proved effective. Now a standard weapon of last resort in the Holy Trek Imperial Starfleet arsenal. Once the weapon is used, sphere explodes to prevent capture by an enemy.
Xindi planet-killer superweapon This is a much larger version of the Slicer, capable of blasting into a planet's core and destroying the planet from the inside out. No outside short-range weapons, so any planet-killer sphere used would need a task force to escort it to the target. Also explodes upon discharging its weapon to prevent capture by an enemy. Thus far, no planet-killer spheres have been used.

Shadows-secret allies of Holy Trek
The Shadows are a race of insectoid creatures who have been homeless until Treksylvania was able to give them a new home on the Jovian moon of Io. Since then, the Shadows have been the secret allies of both Treksylvania and the Galactic Empire of Holy Trek. Their most recognizeable ships are the capital ships, nicknamed 'battle-crabs'. Capable of slicing a ship in half-as Zlost and learned the hard way-and devastating cities on a planetary surface, their pulsar beams are a deadly weapon. Additional weapons include an EMP burst-pulse which can cripple an enemy fleet in one shot, and a unique capture ability done by 'engulfing' a target ship.
The Shadows are not without their own planet-killer, called a Death Cloud. Composed of a cloud of possibly nanodrones, the Death Cloud can carry millions of nuclear missiles, constructed from the atmosphere of a target planet by the nanodrones. The missiles are then launched into a planet's core, burrowing through the crust and mantle, and detonating upon reaching the core, causing the planet to collapse from the inside out. Once a Death Cloud engulfs a target planet, no radio transmissions are received from that planet again. There is NO known defense to a Death Cloud attack.
