 The favoured weapon is the pulse torpedo, with some ships carrying class 2 versions of this. This has a range band of 9" instead of 6", and has double the mass.
-Most NSL ships use three rows of hull, similar to the USN. Jump-2 drives are the norm. Fighters are standard unless otherwise specified. **Ship costs below do not include the cost of fighters.**

 Stripping the drive systems to the minimum, and mounting extra side extensions for larger gun mountings, the Sachsen packs a terrific punch. It is a purely offensive tool, often deployed alongside heavy cruisers or capital ships.

 The smallest carrier in the NSL navy, the Prinzessin Hannah was built to provide support to light patrols, where a full sized carrier would not be cost effective but some fighter support was required. It is standard practice to carry heavy fighters, for extra durability on long missions away from supply lines.
