Battleships - Cruisers - Escorts - Attack Craft - Space Stations - Other Spacecraft

Battleship is a general term to describe the largest combat ships fielded in galactic warfare (Space Stations, Space Hulks and Craftworlds do not classify as ships).

Overview

They often possess vast amounts of firepower as well as landing bays for Attack craft and are commonly used as the capital ships in fleets due to the greater protection offered by their defences. They are usually accompanied by Cruisers and Escorts.
