CFS Kindjal-class FighterThe Kindjal is incredibly fast, even for it's size. The advanced engine systems reduce the fighter's capacity for weapons systems, but make no mistake, it is a menace on the field.
CFS Stiletto-class Heavy Fighter
The term 'heavy fighter' is considered a misnomer by most Hegemony, Tri-Tachyon, and Pirate commanders. They find the term 'monstrosity' more apt, as with all Perseus Arm Coalition ships encountered so far.
The Stiletto is a reliable workhorse for almost any role, from interception to assault, (and even bombing runs!) due to its heavy armament, combined with thick armor, powerful shielding, and superior speed and maneuverability. It is undeniably expensive, and very large however. Even then, the Stiletto is a very real threat on any battlefield.
CFS Keris-class Gunship
The Keris-class Gunship is an antiquated design by Coalition standards. This does not prevent it from being a highly adaptable chassis, nor from being a serious threat on the battlefield.
Once mistaken for an oversized bomber due to its general shape, the Falchion quickly made a name for itself in convoy interception operations. The Falchion then went on to surprise hostiles by performing reliably well as a Point Defense unit, and then as a heavy striker. Many consider the Falchion the Stiletto's larger brother.
CFS Dagger-class Heavy Frigate
The Dagger is a recently introduced design created to bridge the gap somewhat between the Keris and the Javelis. It is quite heavily armed with both energy weapons and missiles, and is able to strike quickly at larger enemy ships. Therefore, the name is quite apt for this ship.
CFS Javelis-class Destroyer
The Javelis is comparable to the Medusa in terms of speed and acceleration. However, it is somewhat fragile due to its thin armor. It, like many Coalition warships, is based on a highly adaptable chassis.
The Javelis has three universal mounts, but is dominated by energy weapon mounts. These three provide enough flexibility to make the Javelis a credible threat at any range. It is not uncommon for a group of these warships to mount both types of JUPITER ASM system to pummel enemies from afar while another group closes in from behind.
RVS Stahlraven-class Cruiser
The Stahlraven first made a name for itself as a long-range missile carrier with its battery of Mercury ASM launchers. It bears a striking similarity to some ship chassis that would have been even closer were it not for the 'tail' that extends behind the ship.
RVS Stahlfalken-class Assault Carrier
The Stahlfalken-class was initially mistaken for a Battleship in its first appearance at the Battle of Corvus. Admiral Calder of the local Hegemony force has been stated to request a new uniform when reports poured in from the pickets that the
RVS Taipan was launching and refitting strike-craft as it was engaging the
HSS Basilisk, and winning.
The Stahlfalken is the epitome of the Coalition doctrine of flexibility. It even stands in for a cargo carrier in convoys!

When a joint Hegemony-Tri-Tachyon force destroyed the
CFS Arthur, the last Excalibur-class Sovereign, some time in 3012, Admiral Grayson stated that the 'Sovereign threat' was over and that the Coalition would be evicted from the sector within a year. He himself personally led the strike force that laid siege to Bastion.
It was his mistake.
As Light Destroyer Groups L001 through L014, Heavy Destroyer Groups H031 and H052, and Carrier Battlegroups C001 and C003 fell back. Sovereign Groups S001 and S002 maneuvered under phase to Grayson's rear guard and launched a simultaneous attack on his command ship and its escorts. The destruction of Grayson's flagship was completed in 0.52 seconds under the combined firepower of twelve Phased Array Cannons. The liquidation of his escort group took approximately six hours due to the mass panic induced by the arrival of four Joyeuse-class Sovereigns.
The rest promptly surrendered after seeing what could be done to a Paragon with a single salvo from the
CFS Firelance's Antiparticle Lance battery. They were given no quarter as vengeance for the glassings of Sargasso II and Another Rock.
