  Shields: Absorption

  Armor: Organic

  Offensive Weapons: 4 Bio-Lasers, 2 HVEM Plasma Cannons, 2 VES
Blades

  Description: Created in the genetic laboratories of Tanis, the Blade fighter was designed to support and back up the Scythe battleships as fighter defense, but because they have been fused with the Empire's HVEM technology, they can also be used to counter against capital ships since they do not posses missile capabilities. Seen action only 4 times, the Blades performed above expectations and with their startling ability to absorb enemy and ally fire alike to boost their weapon functions, they were assigned top defensive positions in the Empire.

 

  Scythe Battleship

  Shields: Absorption

  Armor: Organic

  Offensive Weapons: 500 Bio-Lasers, 50 Bio-Plasma Cannons

They served on the border patrols and were quite vicious in attacking ships without an Imperial FOF tag. Because of their shape and nature, sensors cannot detect them, and from visual data only shows large masses of grey matter.

  Dagger Dropships

  Length: 25 meters

  Shields: None

  Armor: Heavy

  Offensive Weapons: 2 Rocket Pods, 2 Vulcan chain guns

  Carrying Capacity: 20 Stormtroopers, 2 Speeders

  Description: The Dagger Dropship was first employed in the first days of the Socialist War as the alternative to the Assault Shuttle.

Because there is no shield system, the Empire decided to mount a pair of Imperial Speeders to add armor on the ground for fast recon and intrusion missions.
