Naval
Mission of the Department of the Navy: To provide security to the Republic anywhere in the Galaxy.
Some more specific missions it has:
Force Projection
Anti-piracy
Border Security
To do this it will need to be able to conduct space-ground strikes, combating piracy in scales of single vessel to organized crime, and long range scanning and detection. They also need to be able to fight stations and enemy capital ships, so a line of rail gun destroyers should also be built.
To answer the call to these missions they built:
Berden Class Destroyer: fires a 20m tungsten rod, optionally coated for atmospheric entry, is capable of dropping these on cities with large explosions. These rods can be separated in transit to hit multiple targets with less impact. The ship holds a lot of energy and munitions bays to support long fire missions. A single Berden Class destroyer could eradicate all life on a single planet. The Berden is also a fierce fighter in fighting capital ships.
Breska Class Destroyer: A data courier refit to house up to 12 boarded craft and their crew. The boarded craft can serve a wide range of missions and are meant to be a gap filler in doctrine. This ship is the latest design and is meant to provide extra years of service to existing fleets while the next generation of naval ships are being rolled out.
Duran Class Frigate: The work horse of the Navy. It does a little bit of everything and is long distance patrol ship. It can lay mines and is one of the few RN ships equipped with a laser in order to engage targets at a longer range. It's signals package allows it to detect lower frequencies at a longer range. In short, it's the perfect craft for patroling large swathes of empty space.
Ordo Class Frigate: The line fighting sibling to the Duran. This ship uses the same frame but switches the weapon system to a traditional rail canon and trades signals and mining equipment for storage of it's munitions, armor, and cooling systems.
Tarnis Class Frigate: Lightly armored and with no weapon hard points the Tarnis is a fleet support ship. It carries state of the art computing hardware and is often seen as the eyes of the Fleet as it centralizes battle simulations, providing vectors and targeting solutions in complex battle spaces. The ship also has the ability to conduct offensive cyber operations in real time, often used to hack enemy missile and drone systems to turn them against their owner.
Tharnel Class Corvette: A simple but effective missile boat. With the 6 torpedo tubes and a magazine of 36 the Tharnel and it's limited crew have the highest cost:effectiveness ratio in the RN.
Nyvora Class Corvette: Armed with plasma cannons this is the RN's picket ship. It's speed allows it to quickly reposition to put itself between incoming threats and valuable capital ships and use it's plasma weapons to destroy those threats. This ship also excels in close range combat where rail canons aren't nimble enough to be effective.
Torvak Class Corvette: Armed with a small rail canon this troop transport is meant to be a mobile home for a company of infantry while they travel the stars. The ship is the only RN capital ship capable of entering atmosphere and leaving the planet again. The Torvak-V variant provides the same service but has it's central systems gutted to make room for vehicles, the crew will often take a separate Torvak often with an entire column's worth of crew in one Torvak while their vehicles take up 4-8 Tovak-V's.
Torvak-L's exist in few numbers and are refit for a more luxurious experience, the L in the name officially being "large". These are for military personnel who spend a lot of time traveling in space. The interior is redesigned to be more homely. L's are typically hand crafted for the individual, office, or special forces unit who will be using them.
