	The '''Type 9 Heavy Extra-Vehicular Armored Suit''', commonly known as the “'''Vampire''',” is the primary hardsuit of the SAMC. Like the lighter Type 4 it was produced by Zavodskoi Interstellar prior to 2463, and is now produced by various government contractors. It features various mounting arrays for hardsuit modules, ensuring it always has mission flexibility, and is commonly used by specialists. Due to its high levels of protection its users are commonly the first marines through a breach during EVA operations.

	The '''M49MC''' is a main battle tank used as the SAMC’s primary MBT alongside the M35A6MC. It is smaller than the earlier M35 in an effort to meet the weight requirements of a dropship, and sacrifices some of the larger tank’s survivability for maneuver capabilities. It saw action in both Solarian Incursions of Biesel and proved readily able to hold its own against TCAF armor and anti-tank weaponry when supported by marines. Despite its smaller size the M49MC mounts an advanced laser/missile defeat device (L/MDD) which employs two gimballed laser turrets controlled by a primitive AI~~.

	The '''M43 All-Terrain Gun Platform (M43 ATGP)''' is a Solarian Marine Corps armored fighting vehicle designed to replace the aging M15A4MC (Marine Corps) while being lighter and more well-armed than the comparable vehicles of the Solarian Army. Equipped with a heavy gun but fairly light armor, it is intended to carry marines into contact and support them on the ground with its cannon. It can be deployed directly from a dropship’s bay and does not require a dedicated heavy lift vehicle, granting it operational flexibility over the M35A6MC main battle tank used by the SAMC.

	The '''Type 4 Extra-Vehicular Armored Suit''', known commonly as the “'''Gargoyle''',” is the primary voidsuit of the SAMC. Produced by Zavodskoi Interstellar on behalf of the SAF prior to 2463, and now produced by government contractors, the Gargoyle is a reliable suit which protects its user well against bullets, shrapnel, explosions, and energy weapons and has served admirably since 2448. Abroad, the Gargoyle is a common symbol of Solarian imperialism due to its prominent role in both incursions into Biesel.

	The '''M15A4 infantry fighting vehicle''' (IFV) is an aging vehicle of the Solarian Army slowly being phased out of service, though budget issues have seen it remain in service in many divisions and rear-echelon formations. The M15A4 is stubby and box-like, with a remotely controlled autocannon. It can hold a squad of troops and deploy them in relative safety, then remain to support with its gun. Earlier M15 models known as the A3 can be seen in the hands of anti-riot police units across the Alliance and in Biesel, where the new nation had access to mothballed vehicles. [[Tau Ceti Armed Forces\|Biesel models]] are referred to by the Army as the M15(B) and proved to be woefully inadequate at surviving IEDs on [[Mictlan]], leading to the creation of the A4 retrofit as a stopgap measure until the vehicles can be replaced. It is a common sight on Lycoris and [[Mars]], where it is used to carry squads of peacekeepers from place to place. Mechanized infantry are known to ride “boots out” on top of their A4, allowing for more visual observation of the vehicle’s surroundings and quicker dismounting — a potentially leg-shattering fall from atop an A4 is often better than being inside it if it hits a mine.

			The '''M58LER''' (Laser/Energy Resistant) infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) is the next-generation armored personnel carrier of the Solarian Army, having served with distinction in the Martian Campaign and Solarian Civil War. Intended to work in concert with the slightly older M365A6 tank, it is widely regarded as the best APC in the modern Spur. Prior to 2462 budget constraints on the Army ensured it was only present in limited numbers and most units instead relied upon older vehicles such as the M15. With the civil war over and much of the Solarian military-industrial complex now stabilized the M58LER’s production had been dramatically increased, with hundreds rolling off production lines across the Alliance every month.

	Primarily associated with the 2nd Venusian, the '''AH-52 “Tarantula Wasp”''' multi-role helicopter is one of the Solarian Army Air Force’s most beloved designs. First used in 2452, the AH-52 is a modern design and was rapidly produced for the 2nd Venusian to replace its aging helicopter fleet. It is capable of carrying up to a squad of troops and supporting them with a vigorous array of weaponry while easier enduring hits thanks to judicious armor and an on-board shield generator. While not deployed during the Mars Campaign the AH-52 proved its worth during the Solarian Intervention in the Northern Reaches, where it was used to devastating effect by the 2nd Venusian. The AH-52 is currently being upgraded into the AH-52IP (standing for Improvement Package), which enhances its electronic countermeasures (ECM) and energistics ablative countermeasure system (EACS),		Primarily associated with the 2nd Venusian, the '''AH-52 “Tarantula Wasp”''' multi-role helicopter is one of the Solarian Army Air Force’s most beloved designs.

	'''Supercarrier'''		'''Supercarrier'''

	With only a few ever built the supercarriers of the Solarian Navy are very rarely seen outside of the Jewel Worlds. These gargantuan vessels are nearly a kilometer long and stand as some of the largest vessels ever constructed in the Orion Spur. A supercarrier is always the flagship of its fleet and none have ever been lost in combat. Supercarriers have a near-mythical reputation in the Alliance due to their rarity and Navy-funded media, which often promotes them as the peak of Solarian military might. Some in the Navy grumble at this deification, instead viewing the tried-and-true dreadnoughts as the peak of the Navy. Ships of the only active supercarrier class used by the Navy, the Thule-class, derive their names from mythological geographical features.

	'''Fast Battleship'''		'''Fast Battleship'''

	A post-Interstellar War innovation, the fast battleship classes of the Solarian Navy are intended to fill gaps in patrol fleets where a full battleship is unnecessary but a cruiser is insufficient. Fast battleships trade armor and firepower for speed and operational range, making them ideal for patrols in the former Alliance Neutral Zone. ~~Following~~ the ~~Collapse~~ many ships of this class ended up in the hands of warlords due to the class primarily serving in the Middle and Outer Rings. Here they have excelled at a role they were never meant for: raiding and terrorizing the civilian populations they were built to protect.

	'''Light Cruiser'''		'''Light Cruiser'''

	While less prestigious than their heavier counterparts, light cruisers fill a valuable niche in the Solarian Navy. Light cruisers are fast vessels which can operate for long distances without resupplying, which easily allows them to serve as the lead vessels of patrols when fast battleships are not available. However, most officers who one day aspire to command a fleet avoid light cruisers for this very reason: while it may mean command of a squadron, it is a command which affords very little prestige and is often assigned to those who lack the money or connections to play the Navy’s influence game. With ~~most~~ commanded by officers of debatable ability or loyalty (and at times a lack of both) it should come as no great surprise that this ship class often ~~forms~~ the backbone of warlord fleets in the Wildlands.

	'''Destroyer'''		'''Destroyer'''

	Destroyers are well-armed but small vessels designed to assist the Alliance’s battlegroups and to protect the ships that truly matter: cruisers, battleships, and carriers. Prior to the Collapse destroyers were a common sight in the Middle and Outer Ring’s anti-piracy patrols, where they often commanded groups of smaller vessels. ~~Now they are commonly seen in~~ the fleets of warlords, where they ~~serve~~ much the same purpose. Destroyer and destroyer escort class ships derive their names from stellar objects, though exceptions exist due to the sheer number of destroyers in the Solarian Navy.

Line 231:		Line 231:
	'''Frigate'''		'''Frigate'''

	Smaller than both destroyer classes and yet larger than a corvette, Solarian Navy frigates were a common sight in all three Rings prior to the Collapse. Though originally intended to serve exclusively as escort vessels for larger ships, frigates have, particularly in recent years, been pressed into a variety of roles they were never meant for such as pirate-hunting operations. Up-gunned variations of common frigate designs were often the best ships available in the Outer Ring for anti-piracy patrols and system defense. These ships ~~have proven~~ ill-equipped to fight off the forces of defected warlord fleets, and most ~~have been~~ destroyed or themselves defected. A sad fate for the ships of a class of little importance to the Lunan-dominated Admiralty. Due to their sheer number, frigates follow no clear naming scheme.

	'''Corvette'''		'''Corvette'''

	The smallest rated combat vessels in the Solarian Navy, corvettes are often commanded by new officers or officers deemed failures by their superiors. Few officers wish to command a corvette for long, rightfully viewing them as career-killers in a Navy obsessed with larger ship classes. The Wildlands is covered in wrecks of this ship class as a result of constant squabbles between petty warlords over territory. With much of the support structure these warlord fleets ~~rely~~ on gone, corvettes ~~are~~ often the first vessels scrapped for spare parts ~~— and some~~ desperate scavengers plunder these plundered wrecks, hoping to find even tiny scraps of useful materials. Like frigates, corvettes follow no consistent naming scheme.

With much of the support structure these warlord fleets relied on gone or unavailable, corvettes were often the first vessels scrapped for spare parts. Some desperate scavengers plunder these plundered wrecks, hoping to find even tiny scraps of useful materials. Like frigates, corvettes follow no consistent naming scheme.

	'''Support Craft'''		'''Support Craft'''

	The unsung and unappreciated wheels which ensure the Solarian Navy continues to turn, support craft and their crews are typically looked down upon by “real” warships and their crews. The classes found under this category are stunningly diverse and include everything from massive Hephaestus-produced fuel tankers to small courier vessels designed to carry the small-scale cargo required to keep a fleet fed and happy. ~~Many smaller~~ warlords ~~have~~ very limited access to these support vessels, ~~which has made~~ them a target of raids and assaults as the struggle to fuel defected ships ~~continues~~.

	Sol System Command ('''SOLCOM''') is based on [[Callisto]] and is a unique command that only supervises one system, the Sol System, rather than a region of the Alliance. Considered to be a strategic reserve for any future wars, it is under the command of Admiral Yaoting Kong. Known as “King Kong” by his subordinates due to his large build and love of the Monkey King franchise, Admiral Kong’s combat command is centered around logistics and training rather than combat. He is also responsible for the Sol System’s security and is the first admiral to work with civilian fleet organizations such as the [[Callisto#Government and Politics\|Callistean Port Authority]] in a new anti-smuggling campaign.

	Southern Command '''(SOUCOM''') is based on Visegrad and is responsible for the [[Solarian Reconstruction Mandates#Northern Solarian Reconstruction Mandate\|~~Northern~~ Reaches]], the southern border of Biesel and the Hinterlands, the southern border of the Alliance, and coordination with the nearby Empire of Dominia. Managing these operations is Admiral Monika von Schintling, a senior flag officer of the Solarian Navy with experience in the civil war and in the Southern Reaches. Underneath her is the veteran 6th Battlegroup, formed of loyal Middle Ring Battlefleets, and officers seasoned by years of anti-piracy experience. Alongside these duties von Schintling’s command is responsible for the “rat transportation” network of transporting supplies to pro-Solarian insurgents in the Hinterlands and coordinating with the Dominian Imperial Military, which had rebounded in prominence to SOUCOM following the civil war’s end. Once responsible for carrying out a theoretical war against [[Republic of Elyra\|Elyra]], SOUCOM is now expected to work with CENTCOM in the event of a war against [[Republic of Biesel\|Biesel]] — punching through the south and striking at [[Tau Ceti]] while CENTCOM forces hold the Zoleth Line garrison in place and NORCOM strikes downwards.
