Heavy Transport:
The Russian Consortium Petrograd class Heavy Transport carries the bulk of
the Consortium's precious cargo, including the valued tucharium ore.
Because of its valued role, this vessel's armouring well outclasses other
faction equivalents. A standard pair of pulse turrets provide for anti-ship
defences.

Battleship:
A RC95 Leningrad class Battlecruiser uses both Kashin class Interceptors
and fusion torpedos as its primary offensive weapons, with anti-ship defenses
well provided for by pulse turrets and a dense layer of tucharium armour.
The Consortium first designed this vessel to combat Empire frontline warships
and this powerful fleet craft's mere presence is enough to deter all but
the most insistent of opponents.
|
|
Dreadnought:
The flagship of the Russian Consortium navy is the RC52D Polnocny class dreadnought.
This massive vessel uses its huge cache of fusion torpedoes to saturate a
region with ordinance, with close support amply provided for by a pair of
Bercut class Attack Fighters. Like all RusCon warships, shielding is
at a minimum with a battery of neutron turrets and a remarkable layer of
tucharium giving more than adequate defense.

|
Escort Carrier:
The Russian Consortium, like most other factions, has a dedicated starfighter
transport. However, its RC70 Kiev class Escort Carrier is unusual in
having rather weak shielding and armour, with the bulk of anti-ship defenses
provided by turreted guns and torpedos. Despite this apparent shortcoming,
its hangars of Interceptor and Attack Fighter squadrons can inflict a crippling
blow to even the very best of opposing ships.
|
|
Interceptor:
A trio of pulse cannons combine with fusion missiles and rockets to give
the Consortium's premier RC38D Kashin class Interceptor an excellent selection
of short to long range weaponry. Like all RusCon ships it relies more
on its armour than shields to defend against enemy attacks. Despite
its speed, this ship is more suited to dogfight situations as its reputation
against fleet craft is not impressive.
|
|
Attack Fighter:
Standard fusion missiles and a variety of heavy ordinance allow the pilot
of a RC65 Bercut class Attack Fighter a superb selection of weapons suited
for almost any combat theatre, which more often than not tends to give this
antiship platform the edge in battle. The Consortium has used
this fighter to great effect against Empire incursions and its reputation
against enemy fleet craft is nothing short of legendary.
