Menkaa Class Light Cruiser
Engines: Six heavy impulse engines.
FTL drive: Jump drive MkI medium version.
Size length: 1,345 km
Size width: 723 meters.
Armor: Light capital ship armor.
Weapons: Two heavy neutron beams, 11 medium neutron beams, 29 light neutron beams, two torpedo launchers and two missile launchers.
Shields: Energy shields 85 000.

Max. crew: 400
Min. crew: 5
Cargo space: 50 m³
Capable of landing to planet: Yes.
Capable of atmospheric flight: Yes.
Reactors: One large Antimatter reactors and one large fusion reactors.
Info: Quite light cruiser, but has been modified to go faster and to be a bit more powerful. One of the key ships in the IPA's fleet, since IPA has the biggest amount of these ships in their military, even that a lot of these were destroyed during the GA-IPA conflict. During the time of the Dominion War, Parliens apparently used quite lot of these ships, but it seems that lots were able to escape. Menkaas were smalled during the Dominion War, so either IPA of the Parlien's remains have increased the size of this ship.

Here's a picture of Menkaa in space.

This ship wasn't seen during the Dominion War, which indicate that this ship was made by the remains of the Parliens. IPA hasn't got many of these ships, but might be building more.

Here's the picture of Death in space.

Here's picture of Bird Of Prey in nebula.

Valencia MkII Class Heavy Cruiser
Max. Crew: 500 (about)
Min. Crew: 0
Length: Slight bigger than the MkIII heavy cruiser.
Weapons: Six heavy particle distruptors, Two light particle distruptors, One Antimatter torpedo launcher and One planet killer beam.
Shields: Heavy Antimatter Shields.
Fighters: 400 Drones and/or fighters
Cargo space: 900 m³
Capable of landing to planet: No.
Capable of atmospheric flight: No.
Info: As the Valencia MkI the MkII was tested during the conflict as well. It apparently proved to be better than the MkI and that's why it has mostly replaced it. Still the Valencia MkII appears to be only the secondary heavy cruiser. These ships have been modified to have more fighters and battle drones. More of these ships are being built.

Armada Class Heavy Cruiser
Engines: Seven heavy impulse engines.
FTL drive: Jump drive MkII heavy version.
Size length: 8 Km
Size width: 5 Km
Armor: Excellent capital ship armor.
Weapons: Seven Heavy Distruptors, 30 Medium Distruptors, 73 Light Distruptors and Four Torpedo launchers.
Shields: Energy shields 200 000.
Fighters: None.
Max. crew: 4 000
Min. crew: 10
Cargo space: 4 Km³
Capable of landing to planet: No.
Capable of atmospheric flight: Yes.
Reactors: Three large Antimatter reactors and Four large fusion reactors.
Info: Armada was designed before the conflict and appeared to be some sort of secret project on one of the GA's planets during the Lightness War. And when this colony went to IPA this prototype they had built went to them. IPA then continued the project and made the ship even better. Because of the small resources on the planet the ship wasn't never fully completed. Apparently the colony was also able to hide this project from GA. As soon as the IPA was formed this colony and the whole system "defected" to IPA. Some people have said that the research and exploration DID know something about this project, but never told about it and that they also delivered the necessary supplies, because that kind of project would never have been completed so quickly without outside influence. This kind of support hasn't been confirmed and since it's only rumor no one much cares about it. Little before the conflict more of these ships came, so it appears that the project was finished then, because no additional upgrades were made during or after the conflict. In the conflict these were used as many types of ships, scout, patrol, attack, defend and strike. The main strike cruiser in the IPA.

Info: Not so much used in the IPA, but still it is one of the heavy cruisers, but also maybe the least used one. Has been modified to be able to travel in atmosphere. Wasn't much used during the conflict. It seems that IPA isn't building more of these ships and doesn't appear to have much of them left either.

Info: The second heaviest ship in the Parlien's armada. Has been modified to go faster and it also is the fastest heavy cruiser in the IPA's military. Since it isn't so powerful this ship is mostly used for quick strikes, patrols, scout and recon missions. Keldons were seen during the Dominion War, but they were smaller and lighter. Keldon's size has been modified by IPA or by Parliens. Many were seen in the GA-IPA conflict, where they mostly served as a quick strike ships.

Here's a picture of Keldon in space.
