Axiom Prime warship classification system

The Axiom Prime warship classification system is a system for sorting warships launched and serviced in the Kimmek peroid. Nearly every warship serviced within this peroid can be assigned one of the following roles, but it should be noted that not all nations used every ship; Virtis, for example, never fielded a carrier in battle, and only Axiom Prime fielded all three types of big gun ships (Battlecruiser, Battleship and Dreadnought).

1 Scout (APON Furious) The scout is a lightly armed, lightly armored, and very fast ship meant for well... Scouting. Scouts are often used for in-atmosphere ground support, searching for stranded ships or crew, scouting for enemy forces or harassing larger opponents with their guns and torpedoes. Scouts are the most varied of the ship classes; a scout can be in atmosphere only and meant for attacking troops and vehicles, for mechanical expirimentation, as a mount for torpedoes and used to attack larger ships (enough scouts can bring down even a heavy carrier) or as fighters meant to attack other scouts or ships. Scouts can also be fitted with cloaking technology, which reduces their speed greatly and strips them of all armaments but the bare nesessities, but allows for stealthy and effective strikes on enemy ships. Said stealth scouts are usually tasked with destroying merchant ships or carriers, both of which are vulnerable near their landing struts, storage elevators and engines.

2-3 Destroyer (APON Exter) The destroyer is a ship several times the size of a scout, with lesser but still high speed, reduced mobility and used for heavy duty ground support, escorting larger ships, repairing larger ships, and as chain-weapon platforms meant to protect fleets from scouts. They carry torpedoes, guns of small caliber but rapid fire rate, radar equipment, and often ferry troops and supplies. They are also often equipped with anti-stealth measures.

4-6 Cruiser (APON Klebbits) The cruiser is a medium sized ship, with moderate to high speed and a much heavier armament than destroyers. Their size ranges; the APON Klebbits is only slightly larger than the first-generation destroyer Exiter, however the APON Rickover is only fifty feet shorter than many battleships. Cruisers are the heaviest and largest ships that participate in in-atmosphere attack; anything larger would be incredibly unwieldy, and dangerous to the troops it was meant to support. Even so, cruisers rarely partake in ground attack. They do not carry torpedoes unless specially outfitted with them, their guns are often twice the size of destroyers, but still half the size of Battleships. They carry upgraded anti-scout measures, and better fire control than destroyers or scouts.
