Alliance Agatha Christie-Class Battle Cruiser

The Agatha-Class Battle Cruiser has served as the primary workhorse of the Emerald Fleet for over four decades thanks to its balance of firepower, speed, and sheer inability to break down no matter its working environment. Despite lacking any ryder support abilities whatsoever, the Agatha-Class still proudly serves in the Emerald Fleet as the escort retinue of all of its Smith-Class carriers due to its low operating costs and unbreakable reliability record.

Alliance Adam Smith-Class Assault Carrier

Following the disastrous Battle of Tethra, the Alliance Combined Fleet found itself trapped deep inside PACT territory with little avenue of escape. Caught in a no-win situation and with the fleet's leadership largely killed in the disastrous battle, Captain Elliot Hancock, the highest ranked survivor of the battle, made the fateful decision to scuttle the fleet's entire collection of Machiavelli-Class battleships and its colossal carriers into Tethra's sun, and order all surviving crew to transfer to the fleet's faster Agatha battle cruisers to retreat back to Alliance space.

Upon his return to the Alliance, Captain Hancock was excoriated for his decision in the media, despite expert analysis that his decision may have saved the lives of the survivors of the battle. Due to overwhelming public demand, Hancock was put on trial for treason by the United Universalist party, but ultimately acquitted, thanks to expert testimony that only a fleet composed solely of Agatha-class battle cruisers had any hope of escaping back to Alliance space in the first place.

Following the loss of the Combined Fleet, the Solar Alliance, much like the People's Alliance, modernized its fleet with its own assault carrier, the Adam Smith-class. Possessing heavy armor, six massive rail guns, and four torpedo tubes, the Adam Smith-Class may be the most powerful assault carriers ever built. 

Conversation Between Mr. Lowe from the Lockhead Fleet Corporation and Senator Keith Jaughn (United Universalist Party)

"You don't need to worry about Fontana and his Sagittarius. According to our sims, our Smith-Class can take on two of their Saggis without breaking a sweat. If you really push it, just one Adam Smith can take down three Saggis before total loss. Let's be honest, the Saggis are basically built on child labor and desperation. Do you seriously think our best in class technological know-how and industrial superiority could ever lose to their way of life?"
