Editing Starship Classification (section)

==Primary Classification==

===Colonization===

A style of ship that focus's on long term storage of large amounts of materials, as well as being easy to tear apart, for use of materials on a landing site.

===Enhanced Deterrence===

The Enhanced Deterrence classification is a new one, used to describe a war time step up of classical Primary abilities. An Enhanced Deterrence Explorer would have the sensors and crew for scientific missions, but would also be equally designed as a warship above and beyond what an explorer would usually call for.

===Escort===

Any craft built for the sole purpose of high speed intelligence gathering or picket duty

===Experimental (NX)===


Craft of experimental nature are usually denied Primary classification other then 'Experimental' until such time as they can be tested and proven fit for regular operation. Unless the weapons themselves are experimental, a NX vessel is usually given a Defense Classification for times of emergency.

===Explorer===

The most basic form of any Starfleet vessel. An explorer is designed to travel into knew frontiers. They combine an optimal balance of sensors and living conditions that a crew might survive for an indefinite period of time.

===Fleet Carrier===

Ships of this style are usually light on weapons and heavy on storage space and hanger space for Fighters. 'Fleet Carrier' can also be a secondary classification for another primary classification.

===Fleet Tug===

Any vessel that is designed and performs the duties of tug-boat. A fleet tug is capable of high warp for sustained periods of time that they might stay with a battle-group, and tow casualties out of a battle zone.

===Freighter===

A style of vessel that has been designed for large load capacity and optimal fuel consumption.

===Hospital Ship===

ships of this nature are always heavy on sickbays and the like. They are floating hospitals, with either mass transport or landing capability so as to be right at a battlefield.

===Infiltrator===

And infiltrator is a pure tactical capability, also known as "Blockade runner' "Infiltrator' can be a secondary ability to another Primary classification.

===Marine Troop-ship===

A ship that can be likened to a Colonization ship. Great store is placed in maximum utilization of space for personnel and equipment.

===Mobile Command Center===

Ships of this classification can be of all types and styles, depending on the need

===Reconnaissance===

Usually small and quick, for behind-the-lines work.

===Rescue===

Ships of this classification are two-fold. Either large with lots of storage space for Colonists or massive move ability for impending disasters. Or, small and quick for maximum response in a sudden emergency

===Research===

Ships of this sort come in all shapes and sizes, depending on the research needing to be done. They are separated by Explorers insofar as they usually study one event or object without traveling to find others. This is not a first contact vehicle.

===Starbase===

As much a description as a Primary Classification. Starbase's are structures in space that do not have warp capability, and can not move long distances without extreme outside assistance.

===Stationary Tug===

A tug boat that is attached to a Station or Stationary location as opposed to with a Mobile fleet.

===Tactical===

A pure warship, built and bred for combat and defense.
