It was the invention of Pycrete, acquired by the Knight-Luminary Herman Mark, that enabled the first Ice Maiden ever built. The concept of a ship constructed out of a hollowed-out iceberg was initially greeted with some scepticism but after the initial tests, it was deemed worth further exploration. The initial prototype vessel was named the Eiskalte Schoenheit, and, being the very first ever constructed, lacked some of the later technologies of her sisters. Her unique size and strength at sea ensured she dominated any naval engagement.

With a displacement in excess of 100,000 tonnes and a crew of over 6,000, the Ice Maiden Dreadnought Super-Carriers are the largest vessels in the Imperium's navy. They each boast a complement of sixty Messer strike fighters, a dozen Blitzen Bombers and enough supplies to ensure its squadrons can carry out a range of sorties wherever needed.

The SMS Prinzessin Wilhelmina was the Flagship of the First Atlantic Fleet and pride of the Königlich Preußische Marine. Named after the Kaiser's eldest daughter and heir to the Imperial Throne, this immense vessel gives an especially deadly version of the infamous 'Kaiser Salute' with her six Heavy Volt Gun Batteries.

Whenever one of these mighty constructions are committed to a naval action they are invariably accompanied by a multitude of smaller support vessels and frontline cruisers to defend the behemoth from smaller, faster enemy craft. The weapons mounted in the bow of the Ice Maiden can easily and quickly be swapped out to fit the mission at hand much like almost all other ships in the Imperium Navy.

The Ice Maiden Battlefleet Set kit builds nineteen multi-part resin miniatures;

• 1x Ice Maiden Super-Carrier
• 6x Blucher Cruisers (Each Cruiser can alternatively be built as either Augustus, Schaumberg, Reiter, Volsung or Konrad Class depending on the build you choose for the Ice Maiden)
• 6x Arminius Frigates
• 6x Sigimer Destroyers (Each Destroyer can alternatively be built as a Toten)
• 6x SRS Tokens (3 SRS & 3 Special SRS)

Almost always found in support of large carriers and battleships are squadrons of frontline cruisers built to withstand direct engagement with enemy fleets. The Yorktown, Intrepid, Reliant and Lexington Class Cruisers all boast powerful paddle wheels allowing them to remain agile under fire all the while raining shells upon their enemies. These ships are in turn supported by the ever-vigilant Akron Observers. These rotors watch both the skies and the waves for signs of threats to their squadrons as well as acting as long-range observers for the gun crews on board the ships.

Farragut Frigates are also a common addition to any Union fleet. These small but manoeuvrable vessels are able to make fast raids against enemy squadrons or in even greater numbers, larger vessels such as Battleships.

The Union Frontline Squadrons kit builds eight multi-part resin miniatures;

• 2x Yorktown Class Cruisers (Each Cruiser can alternatively be built as either Intrepid, Lexington or Reliant Class)
• 4x Farragut Class Frigates
• 2x Akron Observation Rotor

During the Ore War the Union was forced to evolve into a nation that heavily industrialised the manufacture of weapons and engines of war to produce them at an unmatched rate. As conflict was largely on land, the Union fleets remained significantly underpowered compared to their rivals. With a belief in manifest destiny, the Union began to look beyond their own borders. It was easy to imagine the greedy faces of the other power blocs and the Union's age old nemesis, The Crown, regarding this upstart American colony with avaricious eyes. To establish their rightful place, the Union focused on developing and constructing a fleet of ships to defend their shores and support their troops as they consolidated their positions around the globe.

The Constitution Class Battleship is now the mainstay of the Union Fleet, the first twelve of these impressive vessels built in the closing years of the Ore War. Their main purpose was traversing the many wide rivers of the nation and rain fire on Confederate defences, or to assist in troop movement, their powerful paddlewheels are equally suited to the open seas. Now they, and many more like them, ensure that the Federated States can achieve their manifest destiny.

Supporting the Constitution Class Battleships are squadrons of frontline cruisers built to withstand direct engagement with enemy fleets. The Yorktown, Intrepid, Reliant and Lexington Class Cruisers all boast powerful paddle wheels allowing them to remain agile under fire all the while raining shells upon their enemies. These ships are in turn supported by the ever vigilant Akron Observers. These rotors watch both the skies and the waves for sign of threats to their squadrons as well as acting as long range observers for the gun crews on board the ships.

Farragut Frigates are also a common addition to any Union fleet. These small but manoeuvrable vessels are able to make fast raids against enemy squadrons or in even greater numbers, larger vessels such as Battleships.

The Constitution Battlefleet Set kit builds nine multi-part plastic and resin miniatures;

• 1x Constitution Class Battleship
• 2x Yorktown Class Cruisers (Each Cruiser can alternatively be built as either Intrepid, Lexington or Reliant Class)
• 4x Farragut Class Frigates
• 2x Akron Observation Rotor

The Covenant of the Enlightened see themselves as both pioneers and the leading authority in the spheres of science and engineering. Uninterested in mere nationhood, this globe-spanning organisation considers the whole world to be their purview. Dismissing petty politics and squabbles they instead focus on the purity of developing anything they can for the greater uplifting of humanity.

Discoveries in bionics have enabled peers in that field to influence the behaviour of a number of intelligent animals such as apes, birds, whales and dolphins. The creation of Physeter constructs from sperm whales is by far the largest of these undertakings. Usually they are employed as scouts or observers, bringing advanced warning of approaching enemies. Alternatively, once suitably equipped with a variety of weaponry they can be encouraged to make coordinated ambushes against agreed targets. During a battle, the Physeter Constructs are maintained and deployed from Control Ships such as the Descartes Class. These large, battleship-sized vessels boast advanced weaponry and are crewed by dedicated nautical engineers to further the cause of science.

Even with the Physeter Constructs and batteries of Particle Beamers, the Descartes still need the support of smaller, faster ships. The Enlightened most commonly deploy Lovelace Class cruisers, but also outfit a number of different specifications. The Antarctica Class Superiority Cruiser, not only has a pair of Particle Beamers but also a devastating Heavy Particle Cannon. The Chatelet Class and the Ulysses Class are equipped with a small number of Scythe class fighters for reconnaissance and support, while the Stiletto Class relies on speed to get them in and out of engagements fast.

The armed forces of the Covenant of the Enlightened are entirely composed of paid volunteers and are therefore few in number. The technological superiority of the Enlightened makes up for this with automation. Many of the smaller vessels in the Enlightened fleet are virtually crewless automatons loaded with sophisticated routines and reactions. This significantly cuts down on the crew needed for the navy as a whole. The Germain Class Zebek and Merian Class Frigate are two such vessels that are seen in squadrons alongside the larger vessels.

The Descartes Battlefleet Set kit builds eight multi-part plastic and resin miniatures;

• 1x Descartes Class Battleship
• 2x Copernicus Class Cruisers (Each Cruiser can alternatively be built as either Antarctica, Chatelet, Lovelace, Stiletto or Ulysses Class)
• 6x Merian Class Frigates (Each Frigate can alternatively be built as Germain Class)
• 2x SRS Tokens
• 2x Bases
• 1x Whale & Iceberg Token Sheet

Commonly found in support of larger vessels of the Imperium's Navy are a number of specialised cruiser variants. Built on the ubiquitous Blucher Class hull, these ships can be refitted as fast as any other frontline ship. The Konrad Class Support Carrier bears a flight deck with supply for a small number of Messer class fighters, providing air power where needed. Reiter Class Flak Cruisers are equipped with an impressive array of Vierling cannons, deadly multiple barreled weapons that launch scores of flak rockets into the air. These two vessels ensure that Blitzen Bomber squadrons can safely reach their targets without interception. Finally the Volsung Class deploys the formidable Sturmbringer Cannons on their decks that can char flesh and rupture enemy armour with terrible voltaic energy.

The Imperium operates a large number of destroyer squadrons. Superior to the smaller frigates and escorts, Sigimer Class are longer, more heavily armoured and boast additional firepower. Toten Class, are heavier still and are equipped with two Sturmklaue cannons to cast bolts of lightning into the enemy.

The Imperium Support Squadrons kit builds six multi-part plastic and resin miniatures;

2x Reiter Class Cruisers (Each Cruiser can alternatively be built as either Konrad or Volsung Class)

4x Sigimer Class Destroyers (Each Destroyer can alternatively be built as Toten Class)

Seas Aflame takes your games of Armada to the next level. With new scenarios, rules for fliers and fortifications as well as a full campaign system, the book also expands on the background in the world of Pannithorand introduces the next wave of fleets to be released for the Armada game.

The Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins are some of the earliest human starships still in service; dating back to the late 24th century, they were designed for endurance exploration. Every UCM Colony was discovered by hit and miss expeditions, requiring many semi-random foldpace jumps until a usable world could be found, explored and given a node. Such dependable hardiness ensured three centuries’ service. In size and capability they equal a modern destroyer, though in displacement they are more akin to cruisers due to multiple redundancies, cavernous storage and antique tech.

This set contains 3 Resistance Destroyers, all able to be built as either Armstrongs, Aldrins, or Collins! There are parts to build 3 of each, and also 9 bridges, allowing loads of variation on your ships.

With a chunky design the out-bulks most other ships of their class, you can tell that these are Resistance ships! The Armstrong is armed with a deadly HF-6 Clearance Laser which - while useful in the long task of asteroid clearance, is put to much better use against enemy ships, offering Resistance an option for Burnthrough! The Aldrin design is the "standard" colony ship in the old EAA, and while it doesn't have much offensive capability, it is able to drop Bulk Landers from Atmosphere. Finally the Collins uses its extensive refuel and repair bays to keep friendly fighters in the air for longer - a useful tactic indeed for Resistance's Point Defence!

Contains 3 resin miniatures and plastic Dropfleet Commander bases and flight stands.

Resin miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled. Other ships and gaming mats are for scale purposes only.

Launch assets (fighters, bombers and torpedoes) are important elements in games of Dropfleet Commander - both for protecting your ships and annihilating your opponents!

These greatly add to the look and feel of your fleet, enhancing the gaming experience by replacing the card tokens provided in the starter set. Each of these craft is moulded with an integrated flight stand to attach to its base, allowing for easy assembly.

CONTENTS

This box contains 2 black hard plastic launch asset sprues. In total, these build 8 bases of bombers (3 bombers/base), 6 bases of fighters (5 fighters/base) and 2 bases of torpedoes (1 torpedo/base). This is usually enough for one player with an average tournament sized fleet.

Since these miniatures are so small, they are designed to be generic and not race specific. Simply paint them in your fleet colours to differentiate them!

Base size is 20mm x 20mm.

The Post-Human Republic has exceeded their biological counter-parts in many ways. Technologically they are far superior, bringing thick armour and outrageous broadside weapons to space battles. But it is perhaps their cognition that has undergone the largest leap. Able to out-think a regular human many times over, making decisions faster and with more forethought makes them dangerous foes.

This pack contains 56 Command Cards to use during your games. From the stealthy ECM Field Generator to the frustrating Drive Hack (frustrating to your opponent that is), the DFC PHR Command Cards provide great fun and a huge amount of unique feeling to playing a PHR Fleet.

With distinct Dropfleet styling and easy to read rules, this deck is the ideal purchase for any aspiring PHR admirals, all the better for showing those colonials what they missed out on.

Made from high quality playing card material, these cards are standard playing card sized, fitting into regular card sleeves.

The Echo class corvette is a small, atmospheric-capable vessel of sub-frigate tonnage designed to prow the atmosphere for vulnerable prey, such as strike carriers. Armed with a heavy missile payload, the Echo is adept at decimating the larger targets which it hunts. It is also armed with a pair of mass drivers buried within its streamlined hull, making it a threat to enemy ships at range when fighting in the void. In combination, this makes the Echo more heavily armed than any equivalent ship of another race.

It is also rare among PHR ships in that it is designed with stealth in mind. This means that Echo's can fire some of their weapons while silent running, making them capable void operators due to their mass driver armament, which can be fired at ranges from which the enemy cannot hope to return fire.

Although the Resistance does operate corvettes, very few survived the Scourge invasion. Being designed to operate from atmosphere, they were the very furthest ships from any jump point and had to face the first waves of Scourge corvettes and Strike Carriers. Those that did escape were generally forced to withdraw early on due to combat damage.

However, such small ships require modest orbital slips to construct. As a result of the obvious need to protect their Strike Carriers, many Resistance fleets with the resources have attempted to build new ones, with mixed success. Certainly, the Vega Scrapfleet has proved capable, and of course Kalium builds these hunter-killers in large quantities. The Munifex is a fairly typical corvette – fast, atmospheric-capable and designed to kill Strike Carriers, as well as their opposite numbers. It is armed with specialist missiles, much like the UCM’s Santiago class.

This set contains 6 Resistance Corvettes. These diminutive ships are some of the smallest available to Resistance commanders. Armed with NCA-1 Missiles, these Close Action weapons are excellent at fighting in atmosphere, and get more powerful the more you shoot, thanks to the Squadron-3 special rule.

Contains 6 resin miniatures with plastic Dropfleet Commander bases and flight stands.

Resin miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled.

The Centurion was the most common standardised vessel of cruiser tonnage in the pre-war EAA Terran Grand Fleet, where as the Gladiator was a limited production test-bed for Vent Cannon technology. In those days the definition of Cruiser was somewhat broader; today, such a bulky vessel is designated as a Grand Cruiser, a classification not really in use with the UCMF. In bulk (though not in firepower), these ships are more akin to a modern Heavy Cruiser. The two have truly excellent ceramic armour plating that outclasses all but defence monitors in the modern UCMF.

The Centurion's simple but effective all-gun primary armament provides an excellent blend of destructive power and reliability. Its broadsides of transition mass drivers, alongside an oversized twin pure mass driver turret require low weapon maintenance - a welcome factor for the Resistance.

The Gladiator on the other hand trades the mass drivers for Heavy Vent Cannons: dangerous weapons that the UCM long gave up on due to the number of accidents and dangerous internal

meltdowns caused. The Resistance has been able to overlook these flaws, as Vent Cannons are especially devastating. Such power is particularly attractive to Kalium – the rogue Colony has produced fully three times the number of this class than were laid-down before the Scourge invasion.

This set contains 1 Resistance Grand Cruiser, able to be built as either a Centurion or a Gladiator. This brand new Earth-pattern ship supersedes the older Exclusive miniature we produced, moving its turret to the top, and adding a new front keel reminiscent of the rest of the Resistance range.

With extremely heavy armour and devastating weaponry, these ships bring a lot to your games, and will quickly become a priority target for your opponents! The Centurion class is more reliable in its damage output (and doesn't hurt itself!), but the Gladiator will surely find a home due to its outrageously destructive Heavy Vent Cannons.

Contains 1 resin miniature with parts to assemble two variants, and a plastic Dropfleet Commander base and flight stand.

Resin miniature supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled.

Sharing many superstructure elements with the smaller Centurion Grand Cruiser, the Phalanx was one of the largest standardised classes produced by Trident Industrial, though today it’s only built in Kalium’s yards. Pre-war Battlecruisers differ from modern types in that they are slower and offer less firepower in manoeuvre, but far superior toughness. Indeed, it’s best to think of them as pocket-battleships rather than specialist, aggressive ships.

The Phalanx is armed with long broadsides of transition mass drivers and four Titanmetall 9K mass drivers in two traversable turrets. In combination, the class can unleash withering fire against multiple targets, given the right positioning.

The Tribune's firepower comes from two conventional artillery cannon turrets and an increased close action capability, as well as a single mass driver turret. However - unusually for a full combat ship of this size - it features capacity for bulk landers and a flight deck, making it a fleet carrier as well. In combination, the Tribune is a jack of all trades, able to adapt to fluid combat situations better than most ships.

This set contains 1 Resistance Battlecruiser, able to be built as either a Phalanx or Tribune. With armour heavy enough to make a Battleship blush and loads of Hull Points, these Battlecruisers will stick around to the end of the battle.

The Phalanx has the role of a traditional Battlecruiser, with loads of firepower from its Mass Drivers and Hybrid Gun Batteries. Anything you point this at will definitely feel the pain. The Tribune however has a much more varied loadout, able to be used in offensive or defensive roles with Bulk Landers & Fire Ships, Fighters & Bombers, Missile Banks, Low Power Artillery Cannon Turrets and even a Mass Driver Turret. It can do it all!

Contains 1 resin miniature with parts to assemble two variants, and a plastic Dropfleet Commander base and flight stand.

Resin miniature supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled.

The Scourge possess a truly alien cunning. Destroying their enemies with devastating close ranged weaponry, many a UCM admiral's last moments have been a blinding mass of plasma fire. Often Scourge ships will advance in secret, their admirals only revealing the full might of the ships when it's too late to fight back.

This pack contains 56 Command Cards to use during your games. From the unpredictable Leviathan of the Void to the ground supremacy of Assimilated Bioforms, the DFC Scourge Command Cards provide great fun and a huge amount of unique feeling to playing a Scourge Fleet.

With distinct Dropfleet styling and easy to read rules, this deck is the ideal purchase for any aspiring Scourge admirals, to help them retain control of Earth and the Cradle Worlds.

Made from high quality playing card material, these cards are standard playing card sized, fitting into regular card sleeves.

"Closing in on target. The city looks awful, even from up here. Get ready to launch ground assets. Take that city, men - show those Scourge who is in charge round here!"

This set contains a whole load of Sector tokens! In 3 different styles, these fully 3D tokens are a great upgrade to your cardboard ones.

There are three designs of token, in Industrial, Military, and Commercial style. The Industrial token has a series of factories, showcasing some futuristic industry. The Military design features a heavy-set bunker with vast walls. Finally the Commerical sector has towering skyscrapers, with all their individual floors shown off with inset detail - these really are ridiculously detailed for such tiny items!

Contains 28 sector tokens, with a 20mm diameter. There is a mix of tokens, usually 12 Industrial, 10 Military, and 6 Commerical, although contents may vary.

Resin miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled. Other ships and gaming mats are for scale purposes only.

Though lacking in military resources, most fleets scattered by the Scourge invasion had a high proportion of merchantmen - rightly more likely to run than engage. Forced to be inventive, ragtag Resistance groups sought to repurpose civilian vessels to military ends. Haulers often make poor gun platforms but offer capacious internal holds. When combined with ‘repurposed’ shuttles, yachts and small transports, a formidable weapon can result: the Detonator, a hive of remote-operated, explosive-packed fire ships. The most common vessel is a Seneca class - unweildy and utilitarian, it offered pre-war traders the largest storage for the lowest cost, although many other patterns are in service in this unlikely role.

Crewing a repurposed flimsy brick fizzing with improvised time bombs is not for the sane and/or skittish. These individuals are treated with wary respect when on shore leave, notable in the bar due to singed hair - if they’ve survived to douse their burns in booze. In the service of Kalium, Detonators are employed in an altogether more sinister, regimented fashion, which says a lot of how much the Kabal values flesh and blood.

This set contains 6 Resistance Seneca Detonators. Its chunky design shows an indomitable design ethos - this thing isn't going to be interrupted!

Cast in a single piece, the model has fine detail and the angular armour plates for which the Resistance are well known. A Seneca Detonator has traded its cargo storage for explosives, able to send out loads of Fire Ships to enemy vessels. Of course a ship so full of bombs isn't going to go down quietly - it'll explode on death, causing a much bigger blast than other ships its size!

Contains 6 resin miniatures and plastic Dropfleet Commander bases and flight stands.

Resin miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled. Other ships and gaming mats are for scale purposes only.

Of all the alien races encountered, none are quite as enigmatic as the Shaltari. For every piece of information the UCM have gleaned, there are a thousand unknowns. For every truth uttered by the aliens, a thousand lies are also told. What is known is that their race's old age and warlike temperament make them formidable adversaries.

This pack contains 56 Command Cards to use during your games. From Fales Diplomacy's activation messing shenanigans to the further shenanigans of Concealed Gate Network, the DFC Shaltari Command Cards provide great fun and a huge amount of unique feeling to playing a Shaltari Fleet.

With distinct Dropfleet styling and easy to read rules, this deck is the ideal purchase for any aspiring Shaltari admirals, perfect for the fittingly named shaltnanigans everyone expects from you.

Made from high quality playing card material, these cards are standard playing card sized, fitting into regular card sleeves.

The beginnings of the UCM were bathed in fire and blood. The alien Scourge attack on Earth and the Cradle Worlds left humanity reeling. What was left of the fleet fled to the Colony Worlds to lick

their wounds for 150 years. In the colonies life is bleak and hard, but relatively safe from invasion. Humankind toiled for that time, building a brand new army and a new fleet with emerging technology.

In this militaristic state, the United Colonies of Mankind was born. Gone were the lavish ways of old Earth, replaced by frugality and utilitarianism. Their fleet reflected their existence, as simple, mass-produced ships that accomplish their goals with little pomp or ceremony. Entire armadas leave the shipyards on an almost daily basis, grinding the war machine every forward to take the fight to the Scourge and any others that might get in their way.

Now, almost two centuries later, the UCM have arrived at Earth: the focal point of their Reconquest.

This box contains an entire UCM Battlefleet, with (almost) everything you’ll need to raise a fleet for your games of Dropfleet Commander. This set contains a mix of plastic and resin ships, which provide a solid core for your fleet and some more advanced ships to fill particular roles. Add just a Quick Start Rulebook and a set of dice and you'll have everything you need for your new fleet.

The plastic Cruisers and Frigates can be assembled in dozens of ways, each with a very specific place in the fleet. From the up-armed Cobra Heavy Lasers of the St Petersburg Heavy Cruisers, all the way down to the troop landing capacity of the New Orleans Strike Carrier.

Each ship comes with a multi-part plastic base and flight stand to keep track of your damage, orbital layer, fire arcs, energy status and ship names.

The UCM have heavy armour and balanced weaponry, making them an excellent starter faction.

This box contains:

• 1 Resin UCM Battlecruiser, which can be built as either a Johannesburg or a Perth. Typical length 132mm, 12 parts per ship (including optional ones).
• 6 Plastic UCM Cruisers. These multi-part plastic sprues contain 28 parts each (including optional ones), and can be assembled in 9 different classes, including Cruisers, Heavy Cruisers, Fleet Carriers, Light Cruisers, and Troopships! Typical length 107mm.
• 8 Plastic UCM Frigates. These multi-part plastic sprues contain 4 Frigates, which - using the 38 parts on each sprue (including optional ones) - can make up to 5 different classes, including Frigates and Strike Carriers. Typical length 65mm.
• 3 Resin UCM Corvettes, in a single piece with typical length of 49mm.
• 56 UCM Command Cards & 33 Activation Cards.
• 2 Fastplay cards.

Contains 14 multi-part plastic miniatures and 4 resin miniatures, all with multi-part bases, 89 playing cards, and 2 fast play cards.

Resin miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled.

From years of living in the constant strife of the colony worlds, the admirals of the UCM were already wily opponents. But after lifetimes of service in the Reconquest, they come with decades of experience fighting the Scourge, Shaltari, and even renegade humans.

This pack contains 56 Command Cards to use during your games. From the Point Defence improving Fighter Aces to the incredibly offensive Infiltrate and Sabotage, the DFC UCM Command Cards provide great fun and a huge amount of unique feeling to playing a UCM Fleet.

With distinct Dropfleet styling and easy to read rules, this deck is the ideal purchase for any aspiring UCM admirals, fighting the Reconquest of the Cradle Worlds, or even battling above Earth itself.

Made from high quality playing card material, these cards are standard playing card sized, fitting into regular card sleeves.

THE BEIJING CLASS BATTLESHIP

The Beijing class is an extremely resilient vessel which packs extensive firepower, namely nine UF-6400 mass drivers in three turrets, twelve UF-4200 mass drivers in four turrets and one Cobra laser, not to mention scores of missile bays and banks of point defence lasers. It is currently one of the most popular commands of the UCMF’s Admirals and for good reason – few ships the UCM has on active service are as effective in the annihilation of any enemy as the formidable Beijing. Most of the UCMF’s battleships are surrounded by tales of their illustrious deeds, their names etched into the collective consciousness of the colonial citizenry and this class has no shortage of legends.

THE NEW YORK CLASS BATTLESHIP

The New York class is one of the most in-demand ships in the UCMF since its flexibility and awesome power are almost unparalleled. A later development of the Beijing class, it replaces the former’s heavy turrets with a gigantic voidcraft hangar for launching scores of lethal fighters and bombers. It also replaces the Cobra laser with an enormous torpedo tube and internal storage for two of these devastating munitions.

THE TOKYO CLASS BATTLESHIP

The colossal Tokyo class battleship is one of the most specialised ships of this tonnage level in the UCMF. While based on the Beijing design, this class dispenses with its main mass driver battery in favour of three turreted UF/B-8000 bombard cannons, making this one of the most formidable orbital bombardment platforms anywhere in the Reconquest. Only the UCM has need of a battleship sized vessel designed for this purpose, such is the scale of the mighty undertaking.
