Victory - I decided a coherent staffing scheme made more sense than neat tonnages; obviously a shift of eleven is the optimal minimum, but would have a couple of apprentices tagging along, if only as gophers.

Purity - Ideal for engineering zero types; all they have to make sure is that no anomalies appear, and they should be able to perform normal maintenance.

The smallest jump drive remains volumed at ten tonnes.

Confederation Navy: Standard Smallcraft

I glanced over the current set of rules, and as far as I can tell, only three sizes are required.

Ten Tonner - It's as small as the rules allow, and you can still stick on a firmpoint, or embed a weapon system; multi-role would make it more like a jeep, it probably performs best in a specific role. You can install either a cockpit or a bridge, depending on budget.

Thirty five Tonner - Mid range, just large enough to install two firmpoints or a barbette; a little tight for multirole, but likely outstanding if specialized; cockpit still an option.

FiftyTonner - Upper mid-range, only considered due to cockpit being an option, and it's a legacy size, but the Arladu Class has broken that ceiling, so it's superceded.

Ninety nine/Hundred Tonner - The Arladu Class allows a double cockpit at sixty tonnes, which I think is a fair minimum for upto ninety nine tonnes. At ninety nine tonnes it's an unarmed transport or could be fitted with three irmpoints, but with a pop up turret, it suddenly has more punch at the cost of a double cockpit variant of minus one penalty for flight activity to a suddenly crowded bridge space, and theoretically a rather viable jump capability, though that probably requires either a six tonne bridge, or an extra one or one and a half tonne workspace to deal with astrogation.

 

[Sigtrygg]

That's four sizes then...

 

[Condottiere]

Nah, still three.

Fifty tonnes is an important speed bump, legacywise, as it capped the maximum tonnage you could apply to a cockpit based vessel, as well as being the default size for ye modular cutter and the heavy fighter, and I felt it needed referring to.

Notes:
1. It's an interesting question about the size of the largest merchant ships in Traveller, we even coined the term megafreighter.
2. Just like the largest warships in the Confederation Navy won't come close to that of the Imperium Navy, it's unlikely that the merchant marine will either.
3. Transstar is the only megacorporation within the Confederation, but is likely in tight competition with regional rivals.
4. The Confederation military will require interstellar transport, even if it's a slower commercial type, so the Victory jump drive module was modified.
5. I doubt that the Transstar specifically will construct merchant shipping with a greater volume that a semimegatonne.
6. The Confederation Navy, and probably some large commercial outfits will have interstellar tugs using these variants; for the Navy, to strategically move monitors and space stations.

Confederation Navy: Strike Cruisers and the Cruiser (and Destroyer) Gap

I'm taking liberties by doubling the Beijing tonnage, but it fits in more with my narrative of the evolution of the Confederation Navy. I've also dropped the adjective Deep.

Battlecruisers were an evolution of the armoured cruiser, while light cruisers were a development of the protected cruiser; ironically by a comparison with current battleship armour scheme, battlecruisers appear to be enlarged protected cruisers. They proved to be a transitional step to the fast battleship.

The primary tasks of a battlecruier were cruiser killer, and by extension trade protection, and reconnaissance in force; question is, did either task really need battlecruiser capability to be perormed, as an upgunned and cheaper heavy cruiser might have worked just as well. Lest I forget, heavy cruisers were a development of the light cruiser, though light cruisers were later defined by treaty in regard to the heavy cruiser.

The Confederation Navy developed the strike cruiser to act as both rapid reaction and deep penetrator, able to act independently from the main battle fleets; as technology advanced, their ranges kept pace with the most capable jump drives available, sacrificing tactical speed for increased strategic movement.

As the decision was made to stop commissioning battlecruisers, as the new Prometheus class fast dreadnought had now made the type obsolete, it was a new class of strike cruiser was envisioned to fulfill the primary tasks of the battlecruiser. Thus, the hundred thousand tonne Beijings were conceived, taking advantage of the structural benefits of a larger hull, having longer legs, and being able to take on a heavy cruiser.

The current Confederation Navy doesn't build any military specced hulls between a looseish two kay and one hundred kay tonnes, basically largish frigates and the Beijings, which could be defined as heavyish cruisers. Dedicated warships between these two tonnages still commissioned in the Confederation Navy are legacies from the War of Imperium Aggression, still kept running by ingenious crews and exasperated dockyards.

As the vintage hulls start to fail, the Confederation Navy commission commercially specced replacements, and salvage those ship systems to be refitted in them.

Thus, when the first flight of surviving Beijings were sent into refit, their viable jump modules were replaced, refurbished and installed on a new class of twenty five thousand tonne Stardusters.This really isn't an option for warships equipped with older Victory jump modules, as production of their variants had long since ceased, and they're kept running through customized manufacturing when possible, and outright cannibalization, when not.

 

[Condottiere]

Confederation Navy: Strike Cruisers and the Cruiser (and Destroyer) Gap

If you're a Solomani Confederation member world, and a Beijing strike cruiser drops out of hyperspace unexpectedly, you, or at least the Solomani Confederation believes it so, have been doing something very naughty that requires expeditious resolution.

While a Beijing by itself couldn't crack a well defended world, it could very easily interdict it, or if they take the defenders by surprise, try a decapitation strike.

In either case, it's a very big stick that could be the harbinger of a Confederation Navy task force, and does give the offending member world the opportunity to examine their conscience, and throw themselves on the infinity mercy of the Solomani Confederation, before dreadnoughts and carriers move into assault positions.

The Starduster class would more accurately be defined as auxiliary cruisers, as it lacks a spinal mount. It is however, well armed with missiles and torpedoes, and doctrine calls for either a careful long range exchange, or a fast short range onslaught trying for a quick decision. While nowhere near as impressive as the Beijings, it's still a very capable multimission platform. It's success has opened the door for the Confederation Navy to remedy it's lack of new construction between two and a hundred kay tonnes, by recycling old equipment and installing them on inexpensive hulls.

Confederation Navy: Legacy Battlecruisers, Cruisers and Small Combatants

There's a law of diminishing returns trying to maintain supply and manufacturing lines for obsolescent warships; it makes sense to push off on allies, client nations and member world in good standing what the Confederation Navy considers vessels surplus to their current and projected future requirements, or for political and/or diplomatic considerations.

They've more or less cleared out their inventory of smaller and intermediate sized combatants; cruisers tend to be used until they fall apart, but can be donated on a case by case basis, usually refurbished at their or the recipient's expense before handing them over.

Battlecruisers are a sensitive area, as they were continuously upgraded as viably possible during their service lifes, and represent more combat power than the Solomani Party and the Confederation Navy feel comfortable handing over to any governing authority they might feel the need to exert more influence on in the future.

For logistical and maintenance reasons, remaining commissioned legacy cruisers and battlecruisers have been banded together and deployed along the Aslan frontier; besides easing possible supply and training issues, it represents appropriate force against militaries that are half to possibly three technological levels behind, without escalating tensions by deploying dreadnoughts, but backed up by Starduster strike cruisers and Planet class battleships.

Confederation Navy: Legacy Battlecruisers, Cruisers and Small Combatants

Notes
1. To be fair, I find it liberating not trying to figure out what variations and classes of cruisers and destroyers the Confederation Navy has been constructing for the past hundred years.
2. They probably expect their member worlds to provide those, under coordination of a Confederation Navy flag officer.
3. Outside of the Beijings, new constructions would be at best auxiliary cruisers, using the cheapest construction methods, and on the cheapest hulls, specifically spherical, dispersed and large space rocks.
4. Space rocks are the easiest (and cheapest), and all they have to do is slice it like cheese, until they have the exact size they need for a specific performance.

Notes:
1. The Confederation Navy doesn't manufacture particle accelerator spinal mounts, and is reluctant to incorporate them into their inventory due to issues with logistics and maintenance, if they obtain any.
2. Railgun spinal mounts are only produced in two sizes, convenient and are you kidding?
3. They are meant to be disposable, and manufactured as cheap as possible.
4. Given the choice, the Confederation Navy opts to use extended range variants, to allow them the luxury of choosing the range in combat, wherever possible.

Spaceships: SPUD VI Light Fighter

The SPUD VI is the latest iteration of a rather venerable Solomani fighter design, that had it's origins in the earliest Interstellar Wars that the Solomani contested with the First Imperium.

Manufactured by the Society for the Promotion of Universal Defence, though the fighter itself was de-acronymed as Self Propelled Unstreamlined Debris, though most trace it's lineage to the ten tonne light utility Potato class planetoid.

While the SPUD VI is really more a series of engineering standards and performance minimums, that can be manufactured by individual Solomani spaceyards, the most common variants are a long endurance light fighter, and a point defence interceptor.

SPUD I Flea Biter UltraLite Fighter

Gravitated planetoid hull, forty thousand schmuckers, technology level nine with self sealing liner.

Single cockpit, with a five bandwidth computer, basic sensors. One and a half tonnes at forty thousand schmuckers.

A one tonne budgetted chemical power plant with a one tonne fuel tank, and an eighteen hundred kilogramme factor nine rocket. The power plant outputs four energy points and costs one hundred and fifty thousand schmuckers, and the tank lasts about thirty three and a half hours at full load, adding some solar panelling will quadruple that.

The rocket costs three hundred and sixty thousand schmuckers.

Cargo 2.7 tonnes.

Options are more fuel for the rocket motors, solar panelling, a firmpointed laser that inputs three power points from the engine, batteries, firmpointed sandcaster, firmpointed missile launcher plus four missiles, magazine.

Five hundred and ninety thousand schmuckers.
