New Israel Ships of the Line

A note on fire-arcs:
SBS and PBS are Starboard Broadside (F+FS+AS) and Port Broadside(F+FP+AP), respectively
XBS for multiple weapons  is Cross-Broadsides - half SBS, half PBS. For example, 2 class 2 beams that are 1 x SBS and 1 x PBS can be termed together as XBS, or 4 class 2 beams can be termed 2 x XBS.
FH is Forward Half (FP+F+FS)
FX is forward Expanded (All arcs except Aft)
 

Fighters (Ashan, Bard'las, Chermesh, Notzah)

Ashan (smoke) Stealth Attack Fighter  Cost 36/group (360MUz). 27 groups in service.
Bard'las (panther) Heavy Fighter  Cost 30/group (300 MUz). 8 groups in service, 5 in reserve forces.
Chermesh (scythe) Stealth Interceptor  Cost 30/group (300 MUz). 6 groups in service.
Notzah (quill) Fighter  Cost 18/group (180 MUz). 7 Groups in service, 10 in reserve forces.

New Israeli Fighters come in four types, only two of which are in active duty. A number of fighters are ground-based, adding a cost of 390 MUz to each group for infrastructure and re-usable trans-atmospheric booster rockets.

Most fighters in the New Israeli arsenal are "stealth" fighters, meaning they have hull configurations and non-reflective materials that confuse the targeting computers of anti-fighter weapons. The game effect (and therefore point cost) is identical to that of a heavy fighter. NI uses this PSB for a different flavor.

Sheir SSD


The Sheir (apparition) was initially a fast scout/courier, used by military and civilian alike. A large number of them and their variants are in use in NI space and/or have been sold to other powers. Recent collaborations with Japan (Yamamoto-AI LTD) resulted, in 2170, in a redesign of the Sheir to incorporate artificial intelligence control. Sheir/Karakau ships require no crew and are controlled by a designated command ship. They may only use a maximum of 6 thrust in this mode. AI-controlled scouts are often used as missile fodder against Islamic Federation SML-laden groups.

Variants:
Numerous variants and sister ships with different hull designs exist, including replacing armor with weapons or defense systems, and reducing drive for more systems. Alternate hulls include Hetz and Keshet designs.

Even SSD


The Even (stone) is an old design that has seen many upgrades and much action over the decades and is now mainly used in patrol/customs roles. They mainly operate in trios (a shlish, or triplet) comprised of one Even, one Shoter, and one Mikla'at for a heavy puch. A number of variants, including two scout/spyship versions, are in service currently. Even configuration can be changed with minimal spacedock time, so there are no fixed numbers of variants.

In the late 2170's the cosmetcally different but functionally identical Tarshish was built at Naveh shipyards. While crews and contractors take great pains to differentiate the two hulls, military command uses them interchangeably.

Variants:
Even-B: Replace weapons with FH Class 2 Beam. First in 2178.
Shoter (patrolman): Replace Sub-Pack with a second Class 1 Beam. First in 2141. 
Mikla'at (sling): No armor, no beams, 2 Hull, Thrust 4, 3 standard MT missiles, NPV 51. First in 2178. 
Kritzat Ayin (blink): Thrust 10, 2 Hull, 1 Armor, No Fire Control or weapons, 1xPDS, Superior Sensors, at 69 NPV. First in 2182, 4 in service, 1 under construction. 
Nitznutz (glint): Mass 14, Thrust 13, 2 Hull, No Armor, No Fire Control or weapons, Superior Sensors, at 68 NPV. First in 2187, 3 in service.

Names: Evens are traditionally not named, but assigned numbers based on their patrol area. Each Even crew, however, chooses its own name, which follows them to whatever ship they are assigned.

Dvora SSD


Many a capital ship commander, when faced with heavy fighter or missile attack, has had cause to be grateful to the little Dvora class escorts. Designed entirely around an area-defence mission on an 'acquired' FSE deckplan, the Dvoras pack as much anti-fighter weaponry as most capital ships - even the anti-ship armament is dual purpose. Main drive thrust is low for a small ship but this again fits in with the design goals - no more thrust is required to keep up with capital ship groups, and the space saved by not fitting larger drives was utilised to carry even more AF armament.

Offensive conversions of the Dvora were only marginally successful, being too slow for strike ships. Conversions were halted and phased out of service when production of the Zva'ah began.The scout/spy variant Ayin is still in production both for the New Israel fleet and as a sale item to other powers. 

Variants:
Ayin (eye): Spyship conversion. Thrust 10, 4 Hull, 1 Armor, No weapons, Superior Sensors at 90 NPV. First in 2179, 6 in service, one under construction. 
Ra'am (thunder): Missile frigate. Thrust 4, 1xFC, 1xC1, 3xMT Missiles, at 73 NPV. 1st in 2184, 2 in sevice.

Names: Dvoras are named after women: RACHEL, RIVKA, ESTHER, CHAVA, SARA, LEIA, (more)
Ra'ams are named after storm elements (though some say that's the same as the Dvoras): RA'AM, BARAD (hail)

Zva'ah  /  Ra'ash
Zvaah SSD Raash SSD


The search for a light offensive design called for a small ship with a hard punch. The Zva'ah (tornado) packs the attack power of the FSE's Ibiza and has the staying power of the ESU Novgorod. The Ra'ash variant is also a full-out attack ship, replacing expendibles and Class 1 beams with two more Class 2 beams, giving it virtually unparalleled medium range offensive power for a ship of this class.

Variants:
Ra'ash (earthquake): Submunitions and C1's replaced by a 2xC2 (XBS). First in 2184, 7 in service, 1 in production.

The Kineret class is a small, fragile fighter transport. Poor performance after initial deployment  in 2182 (with a single fighter group) forced a review and redesign, making the ship even more fragile, but able to field two fighter groups.   

The class has minimal defenses and is not designed to face any kind of standup fight. Its purpose is to deliver its squadrons of fighters to the desired space and stay clear. The first redesigned Kinerets were assigned to a hunter killer groups with a number of other support ships. They have provided essential fighter support, and were very sucessful when they managed to stay out of the main combat themselves.

Kinerets generally field Ashan fighter groups.

The Sabra Heavy Destroyer's main hull is more sturdy than that of the competing Sharrett's. The Sabra's flexibility comes from the development of adjustable particle collimation coils, which allow the 2xC2 beam wingmounts to each be reconfigured as a 2-arc C3. Due to dynamic balancing, both mounts must have the same configuration.

Realigning beam coils requires an EVA to reposition dual-purpose hull plating, and results in a less efficient armor configuration (Armor grade 1 instead of 3). Though the reduced armor is a drawback, this configuration has become more common during the Intersentient War.

Realignment takes about 2 hours and can be done  in-flight. A Sabra with more than 2 points of armor damage cannot re-align to the -B configuration. A Sabra-B damaged past the first threshold cannot re-align to standard configuration. Replacing beams with other weapons is possible but requires a well equiped spacedock and is considered a moderate overhaul.

Variants:
Sabra-B,:
Drop 2 Armor and replace C2's with 2xC3's (2 arc), for 136 NPV. First in 2189.

The Sharon was the first native-built ship in the New Israeli navy; a joint design effort between Israel and Japan. The Sharon has seen a long and colorful service life, with multiple refits and alternate designs. Four of the original hulls remain in service, and several other variants continue to be integral parts of the fleet. The T variant may be seeing new life during the Intersentient War as an anti-Kra'Vak strikeship.

The Maccabee is the result of revived NI/Japanese cooperation. The effort started as a complete redesign of the Sharon after nearly 50 years, but rapidly evolved with the rising hostilities of the Intersentient War into a heavier, more capable warship concept. Frist launched in 2190, the Mac is in heavy production to supplement main fleet elements and support defense of the Core Systems. It sports modular "wingmount" weapon pods, much like the smaller Sharrett, enabling pairs of Class  2 beams to be replaced by 2-arc P-Torps or re-aligned to 2-arc class 3's.  Reconfiguring time in spacedock is similar to Sharretts

Variants:
Maccabee-T and -B: Replace 2 Armor and 4xC2 (FH) with 2x2-arc Pulse Torpedoes or Class 3 beams.  First in 2191.

The Yericho is almost considered a "Strike Battlecruiser" with its heavy forward armament and unusually high drive rating for a ship of its class. Introduced in the late 2180's, it is a contract competitor for the  heavier and slower Barak class. The ship nearest completion will swap one Class 2 and one Armor for an additional PDS and an ADFC.

Dreyfus (Roma) Battleship

As FSE Roma with heavy weapons modifications. The screen has been replaced by armor (grade 6), and the missile system removed and replaced by two Class 3 beams (SBS and PBS) and an FH Pulse Torpedo. Purchased in 2183, the Dreyfus was part of a negotiated settlement of a technology trade dispute between NI and FSE (NPV 371).

A workhorse capital ship, the Tzayad (hunter) and its variants are capable of independent action as well as group and fleet support. The original Tzayad's beam-heavy design allows it to wade into a conflict and dish out fire ship to ship. It is unusual for the NI fleet in that it normally carries a screen generator. Refit programs in the 2190's are considering eliminating the screen in favor of strengthening hull and armor (+4 and +2 respectively for 6 less NPV) in light of alien opponents. The Moladetan under construction will test that re-design.

Primary uses are in home fleets and hunter-killer groups, where the enhanced or superior sensors work to identify primary targets (such as IF convoy tenders) for strike craft.

Variants:
Moladetan (patriot): Long range support BC; 4xClass 3 (2x FH, 2xXBS)  2x Class 2 (XBS), 0xClass 1, 0xADFC, 4xPDS at NPV 430. First in 2179, 2 in service, 1 under construction.
Moladetan-T: As Moladetan, but 3xClass 3 (XBS and FH) beams replaced with P-torps. First in 2180, 2 in service.

Gavish class carriers are lightly armed and meant to stay well off the main battle lines after delivering their fighter complement. The enhanced sensor array enables the carriers to assist in command and control of battle from the distances they must keep. After the loss of the Diaspora, additional Gavish's were contracted for to fill the CVL role in the NI Navy, rather than develop a heavier and more expensive design akin to the NAC Inflexible class.

The normal fighter complement of a Gavish is one squadron of Chermesh Interceptors and three Ashan groups.

The Tzion class carrier is the heaviest carrier class in the New Israel fleet, pending approval of a new, unnamed fleet carrier class. The maneuverable carrier carries reasonable defense capabilities, and the attack variant packs a strong offensive punch. It is one of the few classes in the fleet that sometimes employ screens.  The Tzion usually carries one squadron of Chermesh Interceptors, with the balance filled by squadrons of Ashan Stealth Attack Fighters. The class-vessel Tzion is the Weizman 

Variants:
Tzion-F (Herzl): Fleet Carrier; 11 armor, no screen, 2xFC, 3xClass 1, 3xClass 2 (XBS and FH), 5xPDS, 1xADFC, 6 Fighter groups, at 574 NPV. First in 2178, 1 in service.

Based on dreadnought designs turned down by the NSL and bought by IMI-Elop, The Rabin and Ben Gurion are the home fleet flagships of the two most populated New Israel worlds (Gan and Naveh). They are designed to either stand off and throw long range beam support, or plow into the center of a combat, survive most anything thrown at them, and dish out equal measures. Rarely venturing outside their home systems, if they are seen in the deep field, it is a sure sign big trouble is brewing. The new Golda Meir, identical to the Rabin, was completed late in 2193 and will flag New Israel's Core Defense Expeditionary Force, in cooperation with UNSC.

Variants:
Ben Gurion: The Ben Gurion, completed in 2177, is almost identical to the Rabin, exept for the addition of a single fighter bay, and the replacement of an armor plate with an additional PDS array. (Mass 201, 80 Hull, 15 Armor for  NPV 675 + Ashan fighter group)

Hull 6, Armor 2, Stealth 2, Thrust 6, FTL
1xC2 (PBS), 1xC1, 2xPDS, 1xFC
Only one of this class was bult, as taking advantage of stealth required farther standoff distance and heavier weapons. After tests and validation, The weapons were prelaced by one Enhanced and one Superior Sensor system, The Galil Arum is currently a spyship used mainly for covert missions.

Organic Ships - [These designs are compatible, but non-canon, and considered optional background for theNI corner of the FT universe] As Sa'Vasku from Fleet book 2. The organic ship experiement applied bio-applications from terraforming techniques to ship designs. The construction template of an existing ship is used, and the orgainc form is "grown" inand around it. Two such ships were created before theIntersentient war forced diversion of resources to more conventional construction programs. New Israel organic ships mimic the functions of Sa'Vasku constructs, though are based on a mix of "hard" and "soft" technology. NI has not developed equivalents for pod launchers or drone wombs. Ships listed are unique.

Kinetic Weapon Refits - [These designs are compatible, but non-canon, and considered optional background for theNI corner of the FT universe] As the Kra'Vak pressed towards the Inner Colonies, New Israel experienced its share of encounters, both in its own space and as part of the UNSC coordinated Core Defense Force. On rare occasion, weapons and other systems were salvage-able from the renains of battle. Some experimental refits of NI warships attempt to integrate K-Gun technology. Advanced Grav drives are still in the reverse-engineering pipeline. Ships listed are unique.

This proposed fleet carrier would be the largest class in the NI fleet. The design is more maneuverable than most ships of its size, and the ship would be capable of independent action, though it would be deployed with escort groups for most tasks. The type design would carry 5 squadrons of Ashan Stealth Attack Fighters and one squadron of Chermesh Stealth Interceptors.
