<option>Those who fear the darkness have never seen what the light can do.|Magic: The Gathering</option>
<option>Familiarity, the first myth of reality: What you know the best, you observe the least. Devotion, the second myth of reality: The faithful are most hurt by the objects of their faith.

<option>Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics and you'll get ten different answers, but there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on.

<option>There is a tower in the Emperor's palace called the Tower of Heroes: a black tower which rises high into the sky like a spike. At the summit of that tower hangs the Bell of Lost Souls. It is an ancient thing, massive as a building and adorned with dark runes, its peal like the scream of an anguished god. It is tolled but once when a great hero of the Imperium dies.

|History=Originally designed in the mid-2010s, the ''Starfire'' would launch in [[2017#March|March of 2017]] to scout for potential sites for an off-world base for the fledging [[The Initiative|Initiative]]. As a result of the ''Starfire's'' highly experimental nature, it was constructed in secret in a remote region on [[Earth]], prior to launch. It was uncertain whether or not it would succeed, but within several months, the ''Starfire'' would locate at least one system ([[Arc System]]) for further exploration and colonization, and begin preliminary survey work.

The vessel would return to Earth, and begin ferrying material and personnel to and from [[Sanctuary]].

Operation Guilty Crown

2024-10-22T02:19:12Z

Asid Mjolnir: /* History */

Operation Guilty Crown was the codename for a series of clandestine operations conducted by [[The Initiative]] on [[Earth]].

==History==
Operation Guilty Crown ran from [[2026]] to [[2035]], though some reports place it ending in [[2037]] with the withdrawal of Initiative forces from the Sol System. Initially envisioned as a series of decapitation strikes against government and military officials who were proving to be especially effective in rallying public opinion, military force, or political leverage against the Initiative, Operation Guilty Crown would remain in effect after the cessation of primary hostilities, in order to combat on-going sabotage efforts and guerilla warfare by the governments of Earth, as well as hunting down and terminating individuals who committed war crimes against the Initiative, while attempting to minimize collateral damage.

During the course of Operation Guilty Crown, the teams involved in it operated on a very strict need to know basis, as a result many of their records of their actual accomplishments are incomplete or uncertain. However it is known that they participated in airborne raids, as well as more traditional asymmetrical warfare, including, but not limited to use of local recruits, the use of improvised explosives, locally obtained uniforms and equipment, and other tactics not typically employed by regular government or military forces.

{{Quote|The breaking of so great a thing should make A greater crack: the round world Should have shook lions into civil streets, And citizens to their dens.|William Shakespeare}}
The {{PAGENAME}} was a war between the united governments of [[Earth]] and the splinter faction known as [[The Initiative]]. The war is sometimes referred to as the "First Interstellar War".
==Overview==
The war began in the early summer of [[2020|2020 CE]], when several governments detected and took action against Initiative transports lifting from the surface of Earth. In retaliation, the Initiative began targeting nearby military installations that had supported the attacks, using a variety of crude orbit-to-surface warheads, followed by a series of announcements to various governments around Earth that continued attacks would not be tolerated.

In response, several governments involved in the attacks began banding together, building a series of cruisers and destroyers to chase after the transports and harass them, though their efforts were hampered by political differences. A space arms race began, with the Initiative fielding a variety of crude but effective warships, designed to counter the [[United Nations]] Fleet, and to defend troop and colony transports. A series of bloody skirmishes in the orbit over Earth and [[Luna]] eventually culminated in one all-out orbital battle between the two forces, often called the [[Fall of Earth]]. The Initiative's warships, superior in both numbers and quality were on roughly even footing with the military space forces fielded by the [[United Nations]] in terms of space combat experience, leading to a bloody battle, eventually leading to an Initiative victory.

Meanwhile, on the surface of the planet, the relatively untrained Initiative's ground forces made efforts to capture and recruit from a number of cities, using strategic bombardment from orbital warships to hold off advancing enemy forces. Eventually, with the threat of total destruction from above, and the newly constructed orbital network shooting down military aircraft, the governments capitulated. The Initiative began to recruit, under the terms of an uneasy ceasefire with the governments. Despite careful screening, commandos took control of one of the transports, leading to it's destruction by friendly forces.

Enraged by the death of innocent civilians and the crew of the transport, the Initiative began a series of retaliatory bombardments, effectively eradicating all the lines of supply and control on Earth, before evacuating the last of their forces and the last remaining volunteers. A series of ecological bombs, designed to disrupt Earth's natural ecosystems in order to render it largely uninhabitable were released, before the orbital defense grid was set to shoot down any unauthorized craft attempting to take off or land on Earth.

Awards and Decorations

Asid Mjolnir: /* Talros Theocracy */

{{Incomplete Page}}{{Tocright}}
This is a brief list of various awards and decorations handed out by factions throughout the galaxy.
==The Initiative==
===Aerial Drop Badge===
The Aerial Drop Badge is granted on the completion of aerial drop training. It is awarded in three levels, ranging from bronze through gold. The bronze level is awarded for completion of basic aerial drop training, and is upgraded to silver on the completion of twenty drops, but does not include ejections as drops. The third and final level, gold, is awarded for the completion of fifty drops. This badge is replaced by the Orbital Drop Badge if the wearer qualifies for both.
===Campaign Ribbons===
Awarded for various campaigns and policing actions. Notable ones include the policing action on [[Dwyn]] after the disaster in [[2431|2431 CE]], as well as for the [[War of Secession]] and the [[Sovereign Colonies Conflict]].
===Deep Space Service Ribbon===
The Deep Space Service Ribbon is awareded to members of [[The Initiative]]'s armed forces for the completion of any tour of duty requiring them to travel between stars, or take part in a cruise within the star system but extending to the outer reaches of a star system. If a person qualifies for both this and the [[#Deep Space Exploration Ribbon|Deep Space Exploration Ribbon]], the Deep Space Exploration Ribbon takes precedence.
===Deep Space Exploration Ribbon===
Awarded to members of the [[Ranger Exploration Corps]] to service members who took part in a mission taking them beyond the boundaries of explored space. This ribbon replaces the Deep Space Service Ribbon if the prior one had already been earned.
===Maritime Service Ribbon===
Awarded to personnel assigned to a wet-navy ship for any length of time.
===Orbital Drop Badge===
The orbital drop badge comes in three variants, awarded for various numbers of drops made by drop pods such as the [[Reentry Vehicle Single Occupant|REVSO]], it replaces the aerial drop badge if held. The bronze level of Orbital Drop Badge is awarded on the completion of drop training, marking the individual as drop-qualified. Following the bronze level is the silver level, which is awarded on the completion of twenty orbit to surface drops, and does not include ejections. The third and final tier of drop badge is the gold orbital drop badge, and is awarded for the completion of fifty drops.
===Purple Heart===
Awarded for being injured by enemy activity in the line of duty.

==Empire of Tensa==
==Talros Theocracy==
===Award of Devotion===
The highest award given by the Talros Theocracy's 'Order of Faithful Defenders', typically awarded for acts of gallantry in the face of the enemy.

The {{PAGENAME}} refers to a ten-month long campaign across and around [[Mars]], reaching as far the moons and orbit of Mars. This campaign would result in the isolation, and eventual destruction, of the nascent Mars colony established by the [[United Nations]], preventing it from serving as a staging base for extrasolar campaigns against [[The Initiative]].
==Overview==
Noticing that many of the Initiative's vessels passed into or near Martian and Lunar orbits, the United Nations opposition to the Initiative sought to establish a garrison force on both solar bodies. While much of the Initiative's fleet was occupied in various skirmishes, the United Nations expeditionary forces rushed a contingent of civilian construction teams and soldiers to guard them to Mars with a small escort. The Initiative countered by establishing an orbital blockade, but not before the United Nations had managed to land over two thousand civilian engineers, scientists, and miners on Mars, and an accompanying two regiments to guard them during their efforts to create a colony to support the fleet's forward deployments.

Unwilling to resort to indiscriminate orbital bombardment, a bluff which the United Nations called fairly early on into the campaign, the Initiative deployed two regiments onto the surface of Mars, with the express orders of digging out the entrenched UN forces, and protecting the refueling depots that had been established several years prior in [[2027|2027 CE]]. Both sides predicted establishing a permanent presence on Mars from their respective initial outposts, leading to an oversized and overengineered infrastructure, oversized for the initial needs, much of which was wrecked to deny it's use to the United Nations at the end of the conflict.

<option>Those who fear the darkness have never seen what the light can do.|Magic: The Gathering</option>
<option>Familiarity, the first myth of reality: What you know the best, you observe the least. Devotion, the second myth of reality: The faithful are most hurt by the objects of their faith.

The ''Alchemist''-class Fleet Auxiliary is a class intended for the role of supporting a fleet. Unlike the [[Blacksmith-class Fleet Auxiliary|''Blacksmith''-class Fleet Auxiliary]] which specializes in armaments, munitions, repairs, and other similar expendables such as fuel the ''Alchemist''-class is built around providing consumables such as food, potable water, medicine and other similar items, to expand the effective range of a battle group past the duration of the on-board supplies and limited hydroponics capability meant to stretch those supplies present aboard ordinary ships of the line.

Because of the nature of much of this work, the majority of the ships systems are automated, allowing it to dedicate a maximum of space to hydroponics bays and other necessary spaces, as well as minimize the draw on these systems by the crew, allowing it to be more productive. Because of it's nature, it is not intended for combat, and only carries the bare minimum required in terms of armaments to deflect strike craft and missiles, carrying no offensive armaments, and very light shielding and armor.

The purpose of the ''Blacksmith''-class Fleet Auxiliary is to manufacture the parts a fleet needs in order to keep going. It carries all the equipment needed to harvest and process raw materials needed to repair a ship post-battle. Additionally it can manufacture reloads for ships magazines and silos. However, it lacks true offensive systems, and non-essential defensive systems. Due, however, to their increased mass for supplies, they require stronger engines and are less maneuverable.

The ''Emperor''-class Command Cruiser is a ship with superior sensor arrays, and communications, designed to serve as a mobile command center. While other ships can handle this, in a pinch, this is a purpose-built craft, designed for command and control operations, and to assist as an orbital forward operating base for ground forces. To offset it's importance, it's given slightly more armor than a regular cruiser. In addition to it's heavier armor, sensors, and other command & control systems, in place of many of the combat systems it carries equipment to resupply and repair whatever battle group it happens to be accompanying. To augment this, it carries an upgraded electronic warfare suite, designed to cause havoc in enemy communications & computer systems. Additionally, the ''Emperor''-class cruiser lends it's advanced computing systems to other vessels to allow for faster computing for firing solutions through distributed processing, and coordinating of missile volleys for optimal results (without overriding the firing solutions chosen by the ship commanders).

The ''Archer''-class Frigate was designed during the War of Secession. The first of the ''Archer''-class frigates was launched in early [[2021|2021 CE]] alongside the first [[Striker-class Destroyer|''Striker''-class Destroyers]]. Along with the ''Striker''-class, the ''Archer''-class was intended to be a defensive escort for [[Templar-class Battleship|''Templar''-class battleships]], [[Swordsman-class Cruiser|''Swordsman''-class cruisers]], as well as transports carry new recruits from [[Earth]] prior to the [[Fall of Earth]] and it's subsequent quarantine.

==History==
The ''Archer''-class Frigate was created for use against the United Earth Fleet during the War of Secession. The first ''Archer''-class vessels were launched in 2021 CE alongside the first [[Striker-class Destroyer|''Striker''-class destroyers]]. Following the end of the war, many of the ''Archer''-class frigates were kept on as patrol vessels and armed couriers. The class was kept in service until the mid-2300s when it was phased out rapidly in favor of the new [[Knight-class Frigate|''Knight''-class frigates]].

Because of the dangers of jumping without shields, and the lack of development in shielding technology until the mid-2200s, the ''Archer''-class has the second highest loss rate of it's contemporaries, second only to ''Striker''-class destroyers.

The ''Striker''-class Destroyer was constructed as a light escort for larger vessels during the War of Secession, prior to the [[Fall of Earth]]. Following the war, many were sold off or were decommissioned.
==History==
The first ''Striker''-class destroyers were launched in [[2020|2020 CE]], prior to the [[Fall of Earth]] during the War of Secession. They were constructed predominantly to counter the lighter United Earth Forces vessels, as well as serve as an anti-missile screen for larger capital vessels. Following the war, they served as escorts to the planet in the weeks following the war to protect transports from air assaults, and to prevent any military forces posing as colonists from seizing control of the transports.

Following the war, more were built to combat pirates and to serve as fast, armed, couriers for the government. Because of the large number of jumps conducted by many of the vessels without shielding, the ''Striker''-class suffered the largest number of lost or damaged vessels than any other warship class to date, and only closely approached by the unshielded [[Archer-class Frigate|''Archer''-class frigate]]'s losses.

The ''Striker''-class began being downsized in the mid-2200s, as design and construction work began on the [[Warrior-class Destroyer|''Warrior''-class]]. With many of the ''Striker''-class vessels were approaching over a century of use, the oldest vessels were approaching a full two centuries of rigorous use, several of the oldest vessels were decommissioned early. This was done in part due to the rapidly rising costs of maintaining vessels of that age, which were further aggravated by systems not included in the initial design.

The ''Striker''-class were officially retired from active combat service, relegated to convoy escorts, in [[2150|2150 CE]] after a series of skirmishes against pirates proved their inability to combat modern warships. Many of the newer ''Strikers'' began conducting decommissioning and demilitarization, and by [[2166|2166 CE]] the last ''Striker''-class vessels had been decommissioned and scrapped, demilitarized, or mothballed.

The ''Conquistador''-class is designed as a corvette, to serve in primarily picket and escort functions. It is designed more or less as a longer range variant of the [[Shepherd-class Cutter|''Shepherd''-class Cutter]]. The two classes are interchangeable in function, with the ''Shepherd''-class being able to be refitted in a few short hours into the ''Conquistador'' variant, and vice versa as needs require. They are designed as part of a modular system, utilizing many of the same parts as their larger brethren, to allow most repair teams to change out the equipment for long-range deployment.
==History==
The first ''Conquistador''-class Corvettes were designed to serve as flankers and picket vessels, and were first fielded in the early 2100s. Their primary function is to take out incoming small craft with their lighter weapons, or support larger craft with their heavier weaponry, unable to take on large enemy vessels in single combat. Initially thoughts were put towards naming the corvettes after heroes who had served the Initiative. However, due to disputes over who to name, and in what order, this was rescinded, and the corvettes were simply given their hull number as a name.

The ''Knight''-class Frigate is a light escort, designed primarily for anti-fighter and anti-missile work. However, it is often also seen on lone patrols when attached to a [[The_Initiative#System_Defense_Force|System Defense Force]]. It is used as one of the light combatants, and carries a very minimal crew. However, due to it's lighter size, it boasts an increased level of automation as well as self-repair capability in order to make up for it's smaller size.

''Warrior''-class Destroyers are often one of the first lines of defense for a battlegroup. They are equipped for quick flybys of enemy craft for a broadside, though their rotating weapons give them the advantage of being able to engage craft on any side. At times, the ''Warrior''-class can serve as an independently operating warship, or as the center of a lighter flotilla.

The ''Swordsman''-class Cruisers were constructed prior to the [[Fall of Earth]] for use against the United Earth Forces. For the ''Swordsman''-class cruiser, unlike later classes, the version number was not included in the hull number.

==History==
The ''Swordsman''-class Cruiser was designed in the early 2020s, with the first warships ready prior to the [[Fall of Earth]]. Compared to later classes of vessel, the ''Swordsman''-class would be considered primitive, and easily destroyed by a modern frigate or destroyer. Because of their relatively crude construction, the ''Swordsman''-class cruiser lacked many modern technologies, such as artificial gravity, energy shielding, in addition to a number of other technologies.

The last of the ''Swordsman''-class were decommissioned in the early 22nd century in [[2132|2132 CE]], four years after the initial [[Samurai-class Cruiser|''Samurai''-class Cruiser]]s completed their shakedown cruises. Following the Fall of Earth, many of ''Swordsman''-class were converted into colony ships and cargo vessels; while the remainder were transferred to the [[System Defense Force]]s until they were sold to merchants agreeing to put them into the [[Civilian System Patrol]] (CSP). The majority of these have been decommissioned or removed from the CSP after being fully demilitarized.

The ''Samurai''-class cruiser is one of the primary combatants of [[The Initiative]]. When not engaged in escort duties for [[Praetorian-class Battleship|battleships]] and [[Guardian-class Fleet Carrier|carriers]], the Cruiser often leads smaller battlegroups or operates independently. A single ''Samurai''-class is capable of rendering a planet uninhabitable within a short period of time. The standard ''Samurai''-class carries a company-sized marine contingent, with a handful of armoured personnel carriers for use in ground operations, should the need arise.

The ''Samurai''-class cruiser replaced the [[Swordsman-class Cruiser|''Swordsman''-class cruiser]], which were constructed for protecting transports leaving Earth.
==History==
The first ''Samurai''-class cruisers came online in [[2128|2128 CE]], to replace the century-old [[Swordsman-class Cruiser|''Swordsman''-class cruisers]], which had been fielded as part of the war effort during the [[War of Secession]]. Unlike the ''Swordsman''-class cruisers, the ''Samurai''-class was designed with long-term endurance in mind, utilizing a modular system for it's hull to allow the replacing of sections of the vessel. This allowed designers to seamlessly add in new systems by replacing modules of similar sizes without concern. The ''Samurai''-class was also one of the first classes to implement artificial gravity in it's design rather than having to tack it on afterwards.

The ''Guardian''-class carrier is one of the heaviest warships built by [[The Initiative]]. The number of aircraft carried is close to a hundred. In addition to this, is carries all the machinery required to repair and rebuild damaged fighters. These tools can be repurposed to make spare part for a ''Guardian''-class carrier or any other class of warship in use. To this end, it carries the equipment to harvest minerals from asteroids and planetary surfaces in order to make the parts (and fuel) it requires.
==History==
The ''Guardian''-class Fleet Carrier was first designed in the late 2200s, to utilize new technology that made the concept of space fighters a viability possibility. The first ''Guardian''-class carriers were constructed in orbit over [[Sanctuary]], and began running tests at the [[Arc System#Loki Anchorage|Loki Anchorage]]. When it was deemed that the class could work, construction began on a number of similar vessels.

''Imager''-class Prowlers, are a stealth ship in the employ of [[The Initiative]], serving as the primary craft of the [[The Initiative#Ranger Exploration Corps|Ranger Exploration Corps]] (giving them the designator 'RECV' for Ranger Exploration Corps Vessel'). They, in times of war, assist in transporting commando teams on and off planets. It also serves as the primary means of transport on and off [[Earth]] for Initiative operatives. The Prowler is designed to be operated by as few people as possible. A single person could, in theory, operate the entire ship, but would suffer from difficulties trying to operate many of the systems at once.</noinclude>

The ''Striker''-class Destroyer was constructed as a light escort for larger vessels during the War of Secession, prior to the [[Fall of Earth]]. Following the war, many were sold off or were decommissioned.
==History==
The first ''Striker''-class destroyers were launched in [[2020|2020 CE]], prior to the [[Fall of Earth]] during the War of Secession. They were constructed predominantly to counter the lighter United Earth Forces vessels, as well as serve as an anti-missile screen for larger capital vessels. Following the war, they served as escorts to the planet in the weeks following the war to protect transports from air assaults, and to prevent any military forces posing as colonists from seizing control of the transports.

Following the war, more were built to combat pirates and to serve as fast, armed, couriers for the government. Because of the large number of jumps conducted by many of the vessels without shielding, the ''Striker''-class suffered the largest number of lost or damaged vessels than any other warship class to date, and only closely approached by the unshielded [[Archer-class Frigate|''Archer''-class frigate]]'s losses.

The ''Striker''-class began being downsized in the mid-2200s, as design and construction work began on the [[Warrior-class Destroyer|''Warrior''-class]]. With many of the ''Striker''-class vessels were approaching over a century of use, the oldest vessels were approaching a full two centuries of rigorous use, several of the oldest vessels were decommissioned early. This was done in part due to the rapidly rising costs of maintaining vessels of that age, which were further aggravated by systems not included in the initial design.

The ''Striker''-class were officially retired from active combat service, relegated to convoy escorts, in [[2150|2150 CE]] after a series of skirmishes against pirates proved their inability to combat modern warships. Many of the newer ''Strikers'' began conducting decommissioning and demilitarization, and by [[2166|2166 CE]] the last ''Striker''-class vessels had been decommissioned and scrapped, demilitarized, or mothballed.

The ''Conquistador''-class is designed as a corvette, to serve in primarily picket and escort functions. It is designed more or less as a longer range variant of the [[Shepherd-class Cutter|''Shepherd''-class Cutter]]. The two classes are interchangeable in function, with the ''Shepherd''-class being able to be refitted in a few short hours into the ''Conquistador'' variant, and vice versa as needs require. They are designed as part of a modular system, utilizing many of the same parts as their larger brethren, to allow most repair teams to change out the equipment for long-range deployment.
==History==
The first ''Conquistador''-class Corvettes were designed to serve as flankers and picket vessels, and were first fielded in the early 2100s. Their primary function is to take out incoming small craft with their lighter weapons, or support larger craft with their heavier weaponry, unable to take on large enemy vessels in single combat. Initially thoughts were put towards naming the corvettes after heroes who had served the Initiative. However, due to disputes over who to name, and in what order, this was rescinded, and the corvettes were simply given their hull number as a name.

The ''Knight''-class Frigate is a light escort, designed primarily for anti-fighter and anti-missile work. However, it is often also seen on lone patrols when attached to a [[The_Initiative#System_Defense_Force|System Defense Force]]. It is used as one of the light combatants, and carries a very minimal crew. However, due to it's lighter size, it boasts an increased level of automation as well as self-repair capability in order to make up for it's smaller size.

''Warrior''-class Destroyers are often one of the first lines of defense for a battlegroup. They are equipped for quick flybys of enemy craft for a broadside, though their rotating weapons give them the advantage of being able to engage craft on any side. At times, the ''Warrior''-class can serve as an independently operating warship, or as the center of a lighter flotilla.

The ''Corsair''-class light cruiser is a relatively recent construction, in the late 2400 to early 2500s. Because of an increased pirate threat, [[Central Command]] intended to build a series of light cruisers capable of catching up to the fast pirate raiders. Because of their experimental nature, the two ''Corsair''-class cruisers are marked as experimental.
==History==
The ''Corsair''-class Light Cruiser was constructed as an experimental class, with the first one being brought online in [[2501|2501 CE]]. Designed for speed and durability, the ''Corsair''-class included some major redesigns over it's predecessor, the [[Revenant-class Light Cruiser|''Revenant''-class Light Cruiser]], featuring a more stealthy profile, as well as stronger engines powered by an oversized reactor.

Since their construction, the ''Corsair''-class have proven their worth, with deliberations in the senate as to the possibility of building more.

The ''Hoplite''-class missile cruiser is one of the primary long-range combatants of [[The Initiative]]. A variant on the [[Samurai-class Cruiser|''Samurai''-class Cruiser]], the ''Hoplite'' replaces the regular coilgun turrets with missile racks, capable of swiveling to give the rocket a better trajectory. While the ''Hoplite'' is capable of operating independently from a fleet, it is able to make use of computers distributed throughout the fleet for quicker firing solutions, making it a dangerous foe when backed up with escorts.

The ''Paladin''-class Battle Cruiser was initially designed and built between the 2470s and 2480s as part of an effort to combine the speed of a cruiser with the offensive capabilities of a battleship, by sacrificing the thick armor plating that typically slowed down a battleship. The first ''Paladin''-class battle cruisers were built in orbit over [[Arxune]] at ''[[Jäger Tor]]'s'' shipyard. Originally intended to mesh the heavy weapons of a battleship with the speed of a cruiser at the cost of the additional armor usually carried by battleships, the ''Paladin''-class battle cruisers were found to be equal to the [[Praetorian-class Battleship|''Praetorian''-class battleships]] they were intended to augment, and have seen more use as a stopgap while the [[Military Arms Research Service|Military Arms Research Service (MARS)]] develops an upgrade block for the ''Praetorian''-class or a successor class.

The ''Samurai''-class cruiser is one of the primary combatants of [[The Initiative]]. When not engaged in escort duties for [[Praetorian-class Battleship|battleships]] and [[Guardian-class Fleet Carrier|carriers]], the Cruiser often leads smaller battlegroups or operates independently. A single ''Samurai''-class is capable of rendering a planet uninhabitable within a short period of time. The standard ''Samurai''-class carries a company-sized marine contingent, with a handful of armoured personnel carriers for use in ground operations, should the need arise.

The ''Samurai''-class cruiser replaced the [[Swordsman-class Cruiser|''Swordsman''-class cruiser]], which were constructed for protecting transports leaving Earth.
==History==
The first ''Samurai''-class cruisers came online in [[2128|2128 CE]], to replace the century-old [[Swordsman-class Cruiser|''Swordsman''-class cruisers]], which had been fielded as part of the war effort during the [[War of Secession]]. Unlike the ''Swordsman''-class cruisers, the ''Samurai''-class was designed with long-term endurance in mind, utilizing a modular system for it's hull to allow the replacing of sections of the vessel. This allowed designers to seamlessly add in new systems by replacing modules of similar sizes without concern. The ''Samurai''-class was also one of the first classes to implement artificial gravity in it's design rather than having to tack it on afterwards.
