The First Fleet is the largest in the Alliance Navy. Although some designs would deviate from the pattern, they would remain the main warship construction method throughout Alliance history.Īn Alliance cruiser flotilla on patrol First Fleet Early on the Alliance chose to focus on more powerful cannons, so Alliance ships mounted larger caliber batteries than their Federation counterparts. Throughout the development of modern Alliance doctrine, ships follow a simple, increasingly modular design drawn from ship building experiences of both the Petolemaic and the Federation. Every warship of the Alliance navy would be created solely for specialized purposes, from fighting to colonization. Assuming the potential escalation of conflict with the Batarians, they were firmly convinced that a powerful high quality fleet would have to be built, large enough and powerful enough to protect their sovereignty effectively.įortunately, with the experiences from the Petolemaic and the Federation designs, Alliance technicians got what they needed, as such they resolved to build simple, utilitarian designs which would be devoid of anything unnecessary to the running of a warship. From their early formation, the Alliance founders were well aware that, even with the government funding, the Systems Alliance Starfleet would be far smaller and have fewer resources to draw upon than most galactic players.
