Nothing changed about weapons or anything, but one or two things I thought up.
Miato-class Advanced Cruiser (Liati Variant) Priority: Battle
Description: After the revelation of the Drakh's presence within the Republic, the new emperor Cotto launched a full and sudden recall on all ships in the Republic navy to root out any lingering Drakh Keepers, and discover if any hidden and potentially harmful technology was installed within the navy. While most Adira's were kept in service, many Liati's were kept in drydock while the Centaurum decided what to do with them. Keeping the design as it was would surely have been seen as hostile by the ISA, while completely decommissioning such an advanced cruiser would have been a waste. On the suggestion of certain houses, a few Liati were kept in service with the Expeditionary Fleet, while many were converted into a less specialized design that would be used as a first strike cruiser. The Success of the Miato is under much discussion and scrutiny by the Centaurum, and only time will tell if it will be a mainstay.
Hull: 6 Dam: 36/18 Crew: 40/20 Troops: 2
Speed: 12 Turns: 2/45 Craft: 2 Rutarian Flights Inservice: 227x? (Dunno when the Drakh where overthrown)
Special: Advanced Jump Point, Flight Computer, Interceptors 2
Weapons:
Advanced Battle Laser F 18in' 3AD S-AP, Beam, Triple Damage
Matter Cannon F/A 12 in 6/4AD AP, D-DAM
Twin Particle Array F/P/S 10in 8/6/6 AD Twin-Linked
Crisaegrimm-class Warship (Octurian Variant) Priority: Armageddon (I couldn't resist a little ship for my personal House.)
Description:
When it came to the lead ship of House Ghustavo's fleet, Rhastani spared no expense. He assigned his best scientists and engineers from his House to design the flagship, and paid off scientists and engineers from other Houses to work on it as well. When they came up with plans for a slightly modified Octurion that was relatively unchanged, the Patriarch of House Ghustavo told them he wanted a ship that would stand out against not just the rest of the Royal Navy, but the rest of the galaxy, Especially the Drakh that had manipulated them. So the group went back to work, while Rhastani sat back and funded them, waiting patiently for his gem.
It came quickly, after Ghustavo forces came across a sector of space where the ISA and Drakh had just recently fought . The sector was littered with debris and they found almost all of the Drakh ships unsalvageable, cut to ribbons by White Star neutron lasers and pulverized by Molecular Pulsars. However, they found an almost intact White Star, the Alabaster Trail, amidst the ISA debris with its crew dead, and the
Ghustavo fleet were quick to make off with their prize, and any other salvageable components from other White Stars, before Brakiri scavengers.
With this newfound jewel of technology, Ghustavo Scientists finally had technology that could truly make the flagship unique. After dissecting and studying the damaged White Star, they presented Rhastani with a revised set of Octurion plans. While they couldn't integrate the self-repairing systems or completely encase the gigantic Octurion with adaptive armor, they managed to reinforce the bulkheads that surrounded vital systems with it, Making the vessel especially hard to kill.
Thus, The Crisaegrimm was born.
TECH INFO: While The Crisaegrimm maintains most of the primary systems and technology used in the standard Octurion, but several improvements were made. Aside from the adaptive armor reinforcing vital systems, the engines have been improved with the hybrid Vorlon/Minbari gravitic thrust technology, giving the ship a surprising amount of mobility despite its size. On top of that, by taking out some of the Twin Particle Arrays and Matter cannons and putting in an improved reactor based on Neutron Generator technology, the capacity and output of the Battle Lasers has been improved significantly. On top of that, it has also incorporated the heavy particle array, taken from damaged Secundus cruisers and the often overlooked Ballistic Torpedo from the Elutarian, giving this Octurion a lethal bite.
Hull: 6 Damage: 85/12 Crew: 70/14 Troops: 10
Speed: 8 Turns: 1/45 Craft: 4 Rutarian Flights In Service: 2276+
Special: Jump Point, Interceptors 2, Adaptive Armor*, Command 2, Flight Computer
* = Only Halves damage and Crew loss on Critical hits.

Twin Particle Array: F/P/S/A 10in 10/8/8/6 AD Twin Linked
Heavy Array F/A 15in 8/6AD Twin-Linked, D-Dam
Matter Cannon P/S 12in' 6/6AD AP, D-Dam
Ballistic Torpedo F 30in 4AD S-AP, Prec, Slo-Lo, D-Dam
