+ | The NAC has a heavy reliance on fighters, and the carriers are the centre point of their fleets. All NAC fighters make use of advanced engine designs which give them much better endurance than the fighters of other fleets. | ||

Big, slow and tough, the Thunderer is the NAC's main class of battleship. It has three spinal mount pulse torpedo launchers as its primary weapons, along with three class 3 beam turrets backed by class 2 turrets as secondary systems. It's shields protect it from most beam attacks, but it lacks point defence systems, so often needs to be protected by escort cruisers, or at least fighter screens. Another potential weakness is that it's fire control systems can only track two targets, limiting its options - especially against smaller targets. | Big, slow and tough, the Thunderer is the NAC's main class of battleship.

+ | The //Nimitz// class is the biggest ship in the NAC's fleet, and is a launch platform for the bulk of its fighters. It is never fielded alone, always in the company of escort cruisers, smaller carriers and battleships at the very least. Though it is equipped with good point defence systems, it is not equipped to take on other ships, especially other capital class vessels. Because of this, it tries to stay away from combat as best it can, and rely on its escorts and fighters to protect it. Out of the ten fighter groups it carries, normally two to four are interceptors. | ||

+ | The //Galahad// class of orbital assault transport is designed to deliver ground troops to their destination for an attack on planetary targets whilst in contested orbit. It relies upon support craft for protection, but has enough thrust to get in and out quickly. It is also equipped with an array of space to ground ortillery systems, for softening up targets prior to infantry assault. It normally carries a unit of heavy armour, a unit of infantry transports, and two infantry platoons. Equipped with hangers for two orbit to surface shuttles, as well as workshops and support crews to keep them in good condition, the Galahad is often at the forefront of planetary assaults. | ||
