Civilian Classes

Civilian Classes
Type	Role	Armament	Description
Jarqo	Exploration	Point Defence Weapons	Jarqo spacecraft are typically designed for exploration, and are commonly outfitted with lower-tier warp drives and point defence weapons to defend against xenofauna; they are tasked with the exploration and documentation of their travels beyond the Nralakk Federation as they probe the uncharted space beyond the Orion Spur. They are not capable of atmospheric operations, and rely on stations or docks located on asteroids or barren planets. Jarqo are also utilised for VIP transportation where speed and discretion are required.
Luxupi	Freighter	Variable	Luxupi are the freighters of the Nralakk Federation. Usually outfitted with midsized warpdrives, they transport all manner of goods and cargo across the Nralakk Federation - sometimes even to other nations within the Orion Spur. These ships are capable of atmospheric operations depending on size, with the smaller vessels being used as intermediaries between larger freighters and planets. Freighters that do not travel outside of the inner systems do not normally have weapons, but will be outfitted with basic weaponry if travelling into known Marauder hotspots within the Traverse.
Qaelvoq	Luxury Transport	None	Often called 'Star Yachts', Qaelvoq are intended for high-profile dignitaries and politicians whose duties require them to constantly travel and entertain other diplomats. These ships are outfitted with grand recreational facilities and elegant quarters, intended to impress foreign diplomats or other guests. Depending on size, they can be outfitted with either a warp drive for smaller vessels, or a bluespace drive for larger ones. The more famous idols are known to commission a Qaelvoq when deciding to retire, using it as a second home where they can enjoy their privacy. They are not capable of atmospheric operations. Most Qaelvoq with bluespace drives are found dry docked or retrofitted to using warpdrives due to phoron rationing restricting travel, and are being increasingly regarded as a vessel from an era coming to an end.
Ovlolis	Generation Ship	Variable; typically none	A standardised generation ship design, the Ovlolis takes the lessons learned from previous failures and incidents revolving around generation ships, creating a design that addresses the worst-case scenarios that a generation ship may find itself in. These ships will allow a group to sustain themselves near-indefinitely, provided that proper maintenance and repairs are performed. Weapons are not standard, but some commissioned vessels have been outfitted with weapons when believed necessary or if not provided with a military escort. Due to their enormous size and the intended use of these vessels, they are incapable of atmospheric operations; they are only to take off and land once, and are also not outfitted with any drives due to their ineffectiveness on the speed of a vessel of this size.

Military Classes

Military Classes
Type	Role	Armament	Description
Eyrixoq	Multirole fighter	Variable	A small-sized vessel, Eyrixox spacecraft are used for scouting, light patrol, and escorting larger vessels. Their size in comparison to other military vessels allows them to be stored within the Qukala's Planaq carrier craft, using them as a base from which they can operate. These craft have been designed with no specific role in mind, instead, they have the ability to sufficiently perform multiple roles, and be outfitted with a variety of weapons dependent on tactical requirements. They are also able to be used in atmospheric operations, where they can be used as an alternative to more traditional aircraft. Unfortunately, their size also means that outfitting them with bluespace or warpdrives is useless due to the lack of space for the fuel required for a meaningful jump. Can be crewed by up to six Skrell, with a minimum requirement of two.
Ayoni	Escort fighter	Variable; anti-fighter-focused armaments or point-defence weaponry	Only slightly larger than the Eyriqxoq, Ayoni spacecraft are used as escorts for much larger and slower spacecraft within the Qukala, protecting against ships of similar size and incoming missiles. Ayoni can be armed with weapons that focus on disabling other spacecraft or intercepting incoming missiles, and will make up a large part of a Planaq carrier's complement. While also capable of atmospheric operations, these craft are designed purely with defending other ships during space combat in mind. Ayoni craft have a similar issue to Eyrixox craft in that they are still too small to effectively use warp or bluespace drives, relying on Planaq carriers for long-distance travel. Can be crewed by up to six Skrell, with a minimum requirement of two.
Qrolis	Strikecraft	Precision weapons and explosives, specialised electronic warfare suites	A specialised type of craft, Qrolis spacecraft are equipped with stealth systems that allow for sensor invisibility, advanced technology that can easily decapitate other vessels' computer systems - whilst also protecting against the same kind of intrusion - and a specialised propulsion system that further masks its signature. Qrolis have a reputation amongst Marauder groups in the Traverse due to their comparative strength to the retrofitted civilian vessels they face, being able to rapidly descend on an unaware Marauder vessel and disabling it before it can retaliate. In reality, Qrolis are not particularly outstanding in performance compared to other Skrellian vessels, with their use of stealth technology being the reason why they have such an edge against Marauder vessels. Despite the reputation of these crafts, they are expensive to build, maintain, and train pilots for in comparison to the similarly-sized Ayoni or Eyriqxoq spacecraft, making them a rare sight outside of important battles or shows of force by the Qukala. Like other spacecraft of similar size, the Qrolis are incapable of independent warp or bluespace travel. Intended to be crewed by up to four Skrell.
Fexeq	Destroyer	Missiles, energy-based weaponry, torpedos	Fexeq spacecraft are considerably larger than the craft above, with the role of acting as larger versions of Ayoni spacecraft; while Ayoni are outfitted for anti-fighter and anti-missile operations, the Fexeq-type ships are responsible for escorting larger vessels in a fleet against ships of equivalent or greater size. These ships make up the bulk of the Qukala navy, and are armed primarily with missiles and energy-based weapons capable of engaging most forms of spacecraft, while a few Fexeq in any given fleet may also carry torpedoes for heavier targets. While not intended to be carriers, some Fexeq craft do have limited space for fighter craft to dock, allowing them to lead patrols independent of the main fleet if required. Outside of patrols or combat, Fexeq craft are deployed to protect installations within the Qukala-Median Treqki. Because of their size, they are incapable of atmospheric operations. Crews vary in size depending on the ship's current assignment but can be safely operated with a skeleton crew numbering in the dozens, while a full crew complement can be in the low hundreds depending on how many systems are installed on the vessel. Most Fexeq craft see considerably reduced combat readiness as phoron rationing impacts their energy weaponry, with most retrofits downgrading their weapon batteries to lower grade, pre-phoron versions.
Qaqii	Cruiser	Missiles, energy-based weapons, cannon batteries	The largest spacecraft after the Planaq, Qaqii have the ability to perform multiple roles where firepower, as opposed to precision, is required. Qaqii are usually employed against large opposing spacecraft, heavily fortified static targets, and to a lesser extent as psychological tools when dealing with planetary unrest in the Traverse. They employ the same weapons as destroyers, but scaled up to account for their increased size, along with one of the rare examples of Skrell utilising ballistic weaponry. While missiles and energy-based weapons are the standard in the Qukala, Qaqii will also utilise cannon batteries intended for use against static targets, or rarely against ships if heavily outmatched and desperate. Just like the Fexeq destroyers, these spacecraft are unable to perform atmospheric operations. Qaqii cruisers, while larger, require around the same amount of crew as Fexeq destroyers. While originally an oddity for the Federation’s fleet, the Qaqii’s ballistic batteries have made it more viable with its lowered dependence on phoron-based energy weaponry. Speculation of future Qaqii craft experimenting with full ballistic weaponry has made it a source of controversy.
Planaq	Carrier	Short-range weapons, point-defence systems	The largest spacecraft deployed throughout the Qukala, Planaq craft act as the carriers and flagships for Qukala fleets. Although lightly armed in comparison to other vessels, they do have a small array of weapons intended to protect against incoming fire or harassers that get too close to the ship. The main 'weapon' of the Planaq is its multiple decks of hangar bays that house and maintain the fighter craft assigned to the carrier. Planaq craft are rarely utilised outside of major military operations, and are instead relegated to patrolling the inner systems or the Qukala-Median Treqki. While unable to perform atmospheric operations itself, these vessels will enter orbit while their fighters enter the planet's atmosphere. The crew required to effectively operate one of these vessels is in the thousands, although realistically only around a thousand crewmembers will operate a Planaq carrier when the ship isn't assigned to a mission.
Priiq	Battlecarrier	Drone fabrication bays, short-range weapons, point-defence systems, unknown other armaments	Information regarding Priiq battlecarriers is scarce, with the Federation only providing the bare minimum necessary to convey the capabilities of the class to its adversaries. Only one ship of this type is known to exist: the NFV Qheles, which can be found mothballed in orbit of Qerrbalak unless required. From recent events where the NFV Qheles was deployed against Admiral Beauchamp, a former warlord in the Human Wildlands, typical Priiq vessels are equipped with drone fabrication bays, short-range weapons, and standard systems expected of large scale military vessels. Due to its size, it cannot perform atmospheric operations. It is unknown if there are proper hangar bays similar to Planaq carriers, or how many crew members are required to man it. Considering its rare usage, as well as comments by Weashbi Jrugl that it would be difficult to maintain it during the current phoron crisis, the resources required to operate and maintain such a large vessel are almost prohibitively expensive. The Nralakk Federation is known to not allow crewmembers to leave the Federation if they worked aboard these vessels. Leaked documents regarding the NFV Qheles being out of commission as its fuel costs are considered far too great to allow continued usage, and is slated to be refitted under a new designation as an orbital defence platform for Qerrbalak.
