The County-class Protected Cruiser. (A hammerhead-shaped spacecraft with a single drive plume, a raised keel near the aft, and a boat bay amidships between its secondary guns.)
-has been firmly established, popular as a sturdy patrol vessel across the far reaches of its territories, a dependable center for navy squadrons, and the chariot of choice for flag officers on anti-piracy campaigns.

A sleek and lean hammerhead-shaped spaceship fires at an unseen opponent, its retrograde engines alight.
-opponent where they cannot evade.
Though yet to be put to the test in a true trial by fire, the Sallier-class has shown great promise and, endorsed by powerful voices, may only be the start of a new age for the Alliance Navy.

A hammerhead-shaped County-class Protected Cruiser transiting through space, accompanied by two Fairway-class Patrol Brigs.
-interception.
Acting in unison, these 'protected squadrons' are a formidable force, corralling those unlucky enough to face them into crippling barrages of fire from which there is no escape.

-have an obsession with ships?)
That does, sadly, mean that the grand majority of my posts are now deprecated information, but alas, I'd planned to remake a lot of them over time anyway.
But anyway, that's really all I had to say. New posts coming soon, stay tuned!

-that their original manufacturer was no longer around to supply new parts. The work of collectors and enthusiasts, however, ensure a very small number still persist, carrying Astria's name even into the 5th century AUC.

A space station with a roughly circular design sits in orbit around a snow-capped green planet.
-customs enforcement facilities. And should any pirate be daring - or suicidal - enough to launch an attack upon it, the Holt is well-armed to deter them, with several dozen torpedo batteries and orbiting coilgun satellites ready to deploy at any time.

Two pirate raiders flying in formation.
-is the freighter itself.
Though little threat against a coordinated squadron on their own, Raiders can be a tricky opponent in concert with Brawlers and other combat craft, and over the years have taken many a prize in unlucky cargo ships.

Trying something of a new art style in the vein of @thesojourn.bsky.social lore shorts, and I figured no better way to show it off than by using a pair of ships I haven’t had a chance to reveal yet: Pirate Brawlers!

A Steadfast-class Monitor burns across the Rosetta System, the latest generation of monitors in service to the Coalition Navy.
-of new, bespoke designs continue to stand watch over the Signet Constellation, working in tandem with corsairs and security schooners to bring the full force of the Coalition Navy down upon any pirate foolish enough to challenge it.

So, it's been over a year since I made this post, and to celebrate, I...did it up a little:
"High in Axius orbit, the ANV Brookhaven and her line group break orbit, bound for their next assignment."

An Axian spacecraft, following the same hammerhead design, but sharper, narrowing at the bow.
-the only one to have them as a prominent part of its arsenal, turning pirate tactics against their originators with surprise attacks and specially-designed stealth-coated warheads.
