Capital Ships
Carriers, cruisers, command ships, transports and fortified installations of both navies. Part of the Game Reference; data from the Starlancer Wiki (CC BY-SA 3.0).
Conventions: Alliance ships carry the ANS prefix, Coalition ships the CS prefix. The infobox "Armament" field is a relative tier (Light / Medium / Heavy), not a hard weapon count — explicit counts exist for only a handful of ships and are given where known.
Spelling note for RE: the game/
.DTEfiles spell two ships differently from the wiki — Ramases (game) = CS Rameses (wiki), and Boridin (game) = CS Borodin (wiki). The game spelling is authoritative for cross-referencing decoded mission files; see the Sol War Campaign and Campaign Mission Flow.
ANS Reliant — Class 4 Carrier (45,000 t, crew 292, 25–35 craft, comm. 2125). The player's home carrier for the first half of the campaign. A 35-year-old veteran refitted with eight level-6 twin-laser turrets (the only explicit weapon count for any Alliance ship). Commanded by Captain Foster; home of the 45th Volunteers / Tigers. Lost in Mission 15 when Foster rams it into the CS Volga.
ANS Yamato — Class 1 Carrier (88,000 t, crew 587, 40–55 craft, comm. 2159). The largest and newest Alliance carrier and the player's home for the second half. Base of the 409th Ronin. Fights to the final mission against CS Borodin.
