Ships of the Sol Defense Corps/Classes

The Sol Defense Corps Navy operates and maintains a plethora of different types of ships in active service. This page is a detailed description of all vessels currently and previously in service.

SDCN vessels are split between three designations; [*] SDCN (Sol Defense Corps Navy) is used for commissioned warships [*] SDCS (Sol Defense Corps Ship) is used for noncommissioned auxiliary vessels. [*] SDCX (Sol Defense Corps Experimental) is used for prototype and experimental vessels.

FTL Capabilities
All SDCN vessels corvette-sized or larger are equipped with Faster-than-Light drives. FTL usage inside Sol is typically rare unless required for speedy responses or interstellar travel.

Currently, the Alcubierre-type Warp Drive is the most common FTL drive in the Sol Defense Corps, however it is being supplanted by the faster and more efficient Quantum Displacement Drive.

Key
For purposes of simplicity the following color codes have been assigned to various distinguishing factors of the vessels listed.

Fleet Carriers
Fleet Carriers are heavy carriers that typically act as flagships of a fleet. Fleet Carriers typically are the largest and most capable type of carrier in service with the SDCN.
