THE ORION FLEET
No other space faring navy has proved as unstandardized and decentralized as the Orion navy. Since it first steps into space on it own, the Orion race has worked under its own rules and maintained its own standards that have defied logic and yet has allowed the Orions to continue an integral role in the commerce and expansion of countless worlds. With vessels that are both pirate ship and defender of the home world, the Orion fleet as a whole can be found through space claimed by the major power and well entrenched in the frontiers of the Galaxy.
By far the most distinct aspect of the Orion fleet remains is variety. With native designs and a tremendous gamut of copied designs, the full fleet consists of thousands of small to medium sized ships that have been sold to all measure of men and companies, governments large and small. Only the Orions them selves truly know just how many vessels make up their fleet.
SCOPE OF THIS MANUAL
This manual describes the most notable and largest production runs of vessels from both the Orion colonies and holdings within the Triangle. It includes both native designs, contracted designs and modified vessels purchased from the major galactic governments. Known pirate designs are also included when data is available.
“Standardization” is a word associated with most navies except the Orions. While many vessels produced at Orion shipyards are officially sold as transports or couriers, most eventually end up modified or sold to less reputable companies and individuals. Statistics in this manual reflect known capability and data gathered from encounters with many of the ships in this manual. Readers are warned that they are as likely to encounter a vessel that does not match the given specs and a vessel that does.
