A pair of Taurian Republic Navy destroyers - TRNS Charger and TRNS Antelope - maneuver in high orbit during fleet exercises.

Destroyers are relatively small and agile multi-role ships, often seen in skirmishing and screening roles for larger vessels. When acting as skirmishers in battlegroups, their offensive firepower is regularly augmented by externally carried heavy anti-ship missiles (as seen here).

TRNS Paladin, flagship of Task Force 2-11, leads her division mates TRNS Sovereign and TRNS Orion during fleet maneuvers.

Battleships are the largest and most powerful warships in settled space, a single vessel can outmass entire small navies. Operating as the centerpiece of a task group and screened by cruisers, destroyers and frigates, a squadron of battleships not just control space, they dominate it.

TRNS Valiant, a Intrepid-class light cruiser of the Taurian Republic Navy, leaves orbit to continue on her patrol route just outside Republic space.

With a wide mix of sensors and weapons, light cruisers are some of the most versatile warships in settled space. They can operate independently, lead small task forces or act as screening units for capital ships.
