VI. Equipment and Shipline|

---

In terms of tech, the Front relies only on hessian and civilian equipment. For the shipline, although Command heavily suggests and encourages the sole use of the modern Hessian-made Asgard line, other civilian, black-market or the old iconic border-worlds series lines are not forbidden. The following list is non-exhaustive, as given special circumstances, a number of special registered ships(//to be created) might be employed in the Front's operations.

Capital Ships

RH-D1 "Jormungand" Red Hessian Battleship

---

Designed to be a breakthrough assault vessel, it is the heaviest ship in the Hessian arsenal and was modelled closely after the Bismarck class battleship used by the Rheinland Military. Hessian engineers used the excess power provided by the ship's large industrial grade fusion reactors to power a massive cannon built straight into its hull: the Ragnarok.

RH-GM482 "Vidar" Red Hessian Cruiser

---

A larger rendition of the Red Hessian manufactured Hel-class cruiser, the Vidar is bigger, meaner, and tougher. With some semblance to the characteristics of the Hel, this ship exercises proficiency in hit-and-run strategies with its rather compact size and slim profiles. However, due to its internal-module constraints the offensive capabilities are hindered, with only a dozen turret arrays and a smaller reactor at the Vidar's disposal.

RH-U-CC461 "Hel" Cruiser

---

The Hel was co-designed with the aid of Unioner engineers, the ship was heavily influenced by the Hessian input throughout all the stages of development. As intergroup cooperation has not withstood the test of time, the ship's schematics have become widely spread on the Rheinland black-market and beyond. Although a Hessian ship by design, Hel's frame sees extended use by any criminal group in the region that requires a reliable, durable and potent cruiser in its arsenal.

Gunboats and Frigates

RH-GM114 "Heimdall" Red Hessian Gunboat

---

The ship was designed to operate with full efficiency inside the rocky environments of the Hessian controlled parts of the Omega border worlds, all the while maintaining a superior offensive and support capability. The gunboat has become a staple for the Hessian raiders who seek to chase the daring transports who venture into their turf.

"Grendel" Rheinland Blackmarket Frigate

---

The go to ship for Hessian raids on corporate operations across the Omeags. With its decent cargo hold, simple design and construction with emphasis on combat performance have lead to an increasing demand for these vessels with many believing to be the best in its class.

Ceres Innovations 100T "Scarab" Civilian Armored Transport

---

The ship's unassuming and almost simple design is an intentional lure, deluding many into thinking that the Scarab cannot fight back. This ship is a great choice for Hessian raiders who want to keep the element of surprise by not alerting their pray's long range scanners to a potentially dangerous ship.

Canarian ZC-410 "Peregrine" Civilian Frigate

---

Another choice of ship for Hessians looking to bring valuables back to Vogtland. Unlike the other choice of frigates, the zoner Peregrine is best suited for open space areas, being larger sized armed and armored transport while offering less cargo space than transports of a similar size, the ships excels with its firepower and maneuverability.

Freighters and snubs

Red Hessian Asgard line

---

RH-GM17 "Loki Mk. II" Red Hessian Heavy Fighter

RH-GM42 "Odin Mk. II" Red Hessian Very Heavy Fighter

RH-GM82 "Thor Mk II" Red Hessian Bomber

Old Asgard Blackmarket line

---

GM07 "Loki Mk. I" Rheinland Black Market Heavy Fighter

GM08 "Odin Mk. I" Rheinland Black Market Very Heavy Fighter

GM09 "Thor Mk. I" Rheinland Black Market Bomber

Border Worlds Series line

---

Series Y "Stiletto" Border Worlds Heavy Fighter

Series Z "Sabre" Border Worlds Very Heavy Fighter

Series V "Cutlass" Border Worlds Bomber

GM07 "Series D "Dromedary" Border Worlds Freighter

Rheinland Civilian & CTE line

---

X4TS "Tiger Shark" Rheinland Civilian Light Fighter

CTE 3000 "Falcon" Civilian Heavy Fighter

CTE 6000 "Eagle" Civilian Very Heavy Fighter

CTE 12000 "Roc" Civilian Bomber

CTE 1770F "Kestrel" Civilian Freighter

Transports & other logistic vessels

Edison AM-333 "Hegemon" Civilian Asteroid Miner

---

A staple ship for the Hessian movement, the venerable Hegemon has been in their service ever since the Dresden workers decided to turn on their masters. The ship has changed very little over decades, with old ones still being refurbished and new ones being produced on Vogtland.

CTP-H "Cyclone" Coalition Heavy Transport

---

Abiding by the Coalition government's directive to minimize material costs while maximizing ease of maintenance and modularity, the Cyclone is little more than two rows of pressurized cargo containers wrapped in several layers of thick but inexpensive steel plating. These ships are easily obtained by the Hessians from their Coalition comrades on the Aralsk manufacturing point.

Series DL Border Worlds Transport

---

Built to endure and thrive in the harshness of the frontier, the DL series borderworld transport thrives in the corners of space where the safe delivery of essential supplies can spell the difference between life and death. Heavily armed and armored with a generous cargo bay, the commonly sold craft holds a softspot in the hearts of Vogtland's haulers.

Series DL-X Border Worlds Train

---

Based on the proven hull of the Series DL, the Series DL-X was built to serve organizational logistics with greater capacity, reinforced armor, and additional defense turret mounts. It's not pretty and it's not versatile, but it's a reliable long-distance hauler catering specifically to those who live outside of corporate infrastructure.

TTR-1130 Series Pilgrim Liner

---

The only viable choice of a liner for the Hessians, the Pilgrim makes the ideal ship for workers transportation and a reliable platform for small-scale spaceborne fabrications thanks to its vast holds, massive life support systems and robust armories.
