Xasheen Ship Collection WIP

I've been doodling a couple ship designs lately for the Xasheen and I decided top put up my favourites. I also attempted to show you the scale of some ships compared to others (I may have made a few mistakes in the sizes, I'm not the best with math >.<; ). Sorry if some of the text is too small, I'll reiterate some of the details here:

Star City
Role: Habitation, Trade Center
Diameter: 3.5 km (2.2 miles)
Height: 3.6 km (2.2 miles)

Armament:
Various weapons from heavy laser cannons to missile launchers and a vast array of point-defense weapon systems

Throughout the Xasheen trade empire these stations have sprung up over mineral rich worlds and in the atmosphere's of gas giants. The design and size of these station varies from system to system, but the role as a trade station remains the same. Similar stations are also used as shipyards.


Mobile Colossal Repuslor Carrier
Role: Asteroid Defense, more currently fleet support and trade center
Length: 4.2 km
Height: 1.7 km

Armament:
One Super Heavy Gravitron Beam along with over 200 point-defense systems along the hull

When a rogue planetoid threatened to collide Xashon Prime, Lolon divulged schematics on a weapon that would save the planet. The energy consumption of this weapon was beyond anything the Xasheen had ever imagined. Fortunately, Lolon gave the warning of this collision decades in advance, allowing the Xasheen create an experimental energy generating technology, the “super core”. Four of these MCRC vessels were built during that time and once they were integrated with the super core, the gravitron beams were operational. With its interstellar range, the beams altered the course of the planetoid straight into the sun.

Afterwards, these ships were to be decommissioned so they would not fall into the wrong hands. Some disagreed, saying that such ships were a monument to Xasheen culture and should be instead rebuilt into mobile shipyards and trading stations.


Majestic Battleship
Role: Front Line Combat
Length: 660 m
Height: 420 m

Armament:
Six Dual Heavy Las-Cannons, Four Cap-ship Killer Torpedo Launchers, Various medium weaponry and point-defense

Carrier Capacity:
Fifteen Fighters, Five Bombers and Five other additional support ships

One of the most heavily armed warships in the Xasheen armada. This particular ship was designed to punch holes in enemy lines and wreak havoc on other enemy capital ships. Once in position, the battleship then surprises its enemy with its secondary role, as a carrier, issuing fighers and bombers into battle.


Emissary Courier
Role: Emissary Transport
Length: 390m
Height: 232.5m

Armament: None

Carrier Capacity:
Three shuttles and Two escort fighters

In order to make new alliances with foreign peoples in the galaxy, the Xasheen send their dignitaries in state-of-the-art transport ships, equipped for awing would-be friends and trade partners.


Firestorm Frigate
Role: Front Line Combat
Length: 225 m
Height: 210 m

Armament:
Two Dual Heavy Las-Cannons, various medium weaponry and point-defense

The most common ship seen in the Xasheen space ways, escorting super-freighters, dignitaries and supporting battleship in the front line. The hull used for frigates is widely used that many other variants have come from this single ship.


Volcano Frigate
Role: Heavy Support and Planetary Siege
Length: 285 m
Height: 210 m

Armament:
One Disruptor Beam Cannon, One Dual Heavy Las-Cannon, various point-defense

In large numbers, this ship is a nightmare for capital ships using their Disruptors to bore into shields and turn hulls into slag. Although slow and nigh-defenseless, it brings heavy firepower and leaves destruction in its wake.


Firebolt Frigate
Role: Anti-Cap Ship
Length: 255 m
Height: 210 m

Armament:
Four Cap-ship Killer Torpedo Launchers, One Dual Heavy Las-Cannon, various medium weaponry and point-defense

Where Firestorms excel at taking on multiple corvettes and smaller vessels, the Firebolt excels at taking on capital ships. With its torpedoes, the Firebolt can deal out considerable punishment while avoiding fire from its target.


Lancer Corvette
Role: Hit and Run, Border Patrol, Fighter Defense
Length: 120 m
Height: 60 m

Armament:
Two prow Heavy Laz-Cannons and various point-defense

Lancers attack in large numbers with brutal force and lightning agility. They run ahead of the fleet, bringing down the enemies shields and harassing their formation until the heavier guns of a Majestic or a Volcano can be brought to the full. When not on the front lines, Lancers can be found pirate hunting or patrolling sectors.


Craven Corvette
Role: Hit and Run, Fighter Defense
Length: 130 m
Height: 90 m

Armament:
Two Projectile Launchers and various point-defense

Cravens run in tandem with Lancers, cracking hulls with missile or torpedo volleys after the shields have been brought down. They can also fire Shatter Rockets, an anti fighter weapon that can bring down entire squadrons with a single salvo.
