			== Dropship Roles and Capabilities ==

			In this setting, small agile fighter craft have been rendered obsolete by ubiquitous close-in weapon systems (CIWS/point-defense). Instead, the primary close air support and mobility platform is the multi-crewed, heavily armed and armored '''dropship''' (comparable to Starfleet runabouts vs. shuttlecraft or Peregrine fighters). These are Navy-piloted with Marine gunners and systems officers, offering superior survivability, endurance, payload, and versatility.

			Dropships operate primarily in a high-altitude or near-orbit loiter profile, functioning as persistent sensor/communications nodes and precision fire support platforms (inspired by F-35 CAS doctrine but scaled up).

			=== Primary Roles ===

			; '''Troop Insertion / Extraction'''
			: Hot drops of Marine squads/platoons (in power armor) into contested landing zones; rapid exfiltration under fire.
			: Rear/ventral ramps for fast egress; ventral-mounted energy cannons for suppressive covering fire during ingress/egress.
			: Often includes stealth coatings, ablative armor, or short-duration ECM bursts.

			; '''Close Air Support (CAS) / Gunship'''
			: Provides persistent, high-altitude overwatch and precision fire support to ground troops.
			: Loiters at altitude (20,000–50,000+ ft or near-orbit) to remain outside most ground-based CIWS envelopes.
			: Delivers devastating fire via energy cannons (plasma, particle beams, or high-energy lasers) on troop call-for-fire.
			: Precise, near-infinite "ammo" (power-limited) with minimal collateral compared to kinetics; surgical suppression to anti-armor/anti-structure strikes.
			: Secondary kinetic options (railguns, missiles) for hardened targets.

			; '''Reconnaissance / Cavalry Scout'''
			: Forward scouting, target designation, and overwatch for main force or orbital strikes.
			: Pairs with recon platoons for deep insertion, sensor placement, and real-time intel gathering.
			: Equipped with advanced sensor suites (phased-array radars, hyperspectral imagers, quantum-linked drones).
			: Light armament for self-defense; fast atmospheric/near-vacuum flight for rapid repositioning.

			; '''Sensor and Communications Platform'''
			: Acts as elevated battlespace manager and data relay.
			: Massive sensor fusion creates shared picture for ground units (recon platoons, rifle companies, command).
			: Feeds real-time video, targeting data, and threat tracks to Marine helmet HUDs or neural links.
			: Serves as comms gateway in jammed/degraded environments; includes EW/jamming capabilities.

			; '''Multi-Role / Utility'''
			: Modular mission pods allow rapid reconfiguration (troop bay ↔ sensor suite ↔ missile/torpedo launcher ↔ medevac).
			: Handles cargo transport, medical evacuation, electronic warfare, light boarding actions, or fleet screening.
			: Swappable loadouts enable one hull to fulfill multiple expeditionary needs.

			; '''Anti-Small Craft / Escort'''
			: Defends against enemy drones, residual fighters, or swarm threats.
			: Heavy point-defense grid (mini-CIWS) plus anti-fighter missiles.
			: Armored and redundant systems allow it to tank hits that would destroy smaller craft.

			=== Key Capabilities Summary ===

			* '''Survivability''': Thick armor/shields, own CIWS/point-defense, redundant systems, multi-crew redundancy.
			* '''Endurance''': Long loiter via advanced propulsion (fusion/anti-grav/solar regen); hours to days on station.
			* '''Firepower''': Primary energy cannons for precision CAS; secondary kinetics; modular ordnance bays.
			* '''Sensor/Intel''': 360° distributed aperture, AESA-equivalent radar, drone swarms, hyperspectral/quantum sensors.
			* '''Integration''': Navy pilots handle flight/EW; Marine gunners/systems officers manage weapons/targeting/troop coordination.
			* '''Versatility''': Fewer, more capable platforms replace fighter wings; squadron of 8–12 supports a battalion.

			These dropships serve as the linchpin of marine planetary assault operations—combining mobility, fire support, reconnaissance, and command functions into a single, tough platform.

	~~This is~~ a ~~list~~ of ~~all Terran~~ warships.		== Space Navy Ship Classes and Mission Sets ==

			In this sci-fi setting, space navies employ a range of warship classes, each with specialized roles. Battleships are assumed to remain relevant and powerful due to advances in shielding, armor, weaponry, or other technologies.

			=== Corvettes ===
			Corvettes are the smallest and most agile warships, prioritizing speed, stealth, and low crew requirements. They excel at independent operations and screening duties.

			* '''Patrol and Reconnaissance''': Scouting enemy positions, monitoring hyperspace lanes, surveying uncharted systems for resources or threats
			* '''Anti-Piracy and Interdiction''': Intercepting smugglers, raiders, or small enemy vessels in border regions or trade routes
			* '''Escort Duties''': Protecting convoys of merchant ships or troop transports from fighter swarms or missile attacks
			* '''Special Operations Support''': Inserting/extracting commando teams on planetary surfaces or space stations, often using cloaking technology
			* '''Mine Warfare''': Deploying or clearing space mines, debris fields, or orbital hazards

			=== Frigates ===
			Frigates are versatile multi-role vessels that bridge corvettes and larger warships, with strong emphasis on electronic warfare and defensive systems.

			* '''Fleet Screening''': Defending capital ships from fighters, torpedoes, or drone swarms using point-defense and jamming arrays
			* '''Anti-Subspace Warfare''': Detecting and neutralizing cloaked ships, wormhole ambushes, or other stealth/subspace threats
			* '''Planetary Bombardment Support''': Providing precision orbital fire support for ground forces
			* '''Electronic Warfare and Intelligence''': Jamming enemy comms, network intrusion, signals intelligence gathering
			* '''Rapid Response Missions''': Hit-and-run strikes against outposts, supply depots, or isolated assets

			=== Destroyers ===
			Destroyers are fast, heavily armed offensive platforms — the workhorses of fleet combat at medium range.

			* '''Torpedo and Missile Warfare''': Launching large salvos of guided munitions to overwhelm shields or capital ships
			* '''Anti-Fighter Defense''': Engaging enemy fighter/drone swarms with rapid-fire weapons and interceptors
			* '''Surface Strike''': Leading raids on enemy fleets or installations
			* '''Escort and Protection''': Guarding carriers and battleships from flanking maneuvers
			* '''Pursuit and Harassment''': Chasing retreating enemies or disrupting supply lines

			=== Cruisers ===
			Cruisers are large, command-capable ships that form the backbone of task forces and can operate independently.

			* '''Command and Control''': Serving as flagships with advanced sensor fusion, fleet coordination, and communications
			* '''Long-Range Strike''': Delivering heavy railguns, energy lances, or other ordnance against distant targets
			* '''Area Air/Space Defense''': Creating protective zones with advanced anti-missile and anti-fighter systems
			* '''Amphibious Support''': Directing planetary invasions, troop landings, and providing covering fire
			* '''Diplomatic / Show-of-Force''': Patrolling contested zones to deter aggression or enforce treaties

			=== Battleships ===
			Battleships remain premier line-of-battle assets — massive, heavily armored and armed platforms designed to dominate decisive engagements.

			* '''Capital Ship Duels''': Direct combat against enemy battleships or dreadnoughts using spinal mounts and broadsides
			* '''Orbital Siege''': Heavy bombardment of fortified planets, stations, or asteroid bases
			* '''Fleet Anchor''': Forming the core of the battle line, absorbing damage while providing suppressive fire
			* '''Strategic Deterrence''': Stationing in key systems to prevent enemy advances through sheer presence
			* '''Heavy Assault''': Leading breakthroughs, using tractor beams, boarding parties, or overwhelming firepower

			=== Carriers ===
			Carriers are mobile fighter/drone bases focused on power projection rather than direct ship-to-ship combat.

			* '''Fighter Operations''': Launching, recovering, and directing squadrons for air superiority, strikes, or reconnaissance
			* '''Power Projection''': Striking deep into enemy territory without risking the main fleet
			* '''Recon and Surveillance''': Deploying scout drones/probes to map enemy movements or hyperspace features
			* '''Support and Logistics''': Mid-mission refueling, repair, and acting as mobile command hubs
			* '''Defensive Screening''': Using embarked craft to create layered defenses around the carrier group
