ISC Shipyards (R13)

(R13007) BATTLECRUISER (BC) As the ISC became more involved in Romulan and Gorn territory, they found that many of their earlier ships were being matched by the optimized designs produced during the General War. To offset this, many of their flagship cruisers were refitted from Y183 with increased shields and firepower
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter factors are 13|/7|. Command rating 10. Beginning in F183 one per year can be converted from CC. Cost is 2 EP. A counter is provided.

(R13011) PF BATTLECRUISER (BCP) As the ISC stretched themselves further in their pacification program, and with the Andromedans Invasion, the ISC looked at using PFs to bolster their forces. Starting in Y187 many BCs were converted to operate a flotilla of PFs.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 13P|/7P|. Command rating 10. Can be converted from BC (once per year) beginning in Y184. Cost is 3 EP. A counter is provided.

(R13001) HEAVY STRIKE CRUISER (CAS) While the standard Star Cruiser was more than able to deal with its Romulan and Gorn counterparts, ISC military observers in the rest of the galaxy feared what would happen when opposed by the direct-fire weapons used in the rest of the area. The CAS was a result of their recommendations. While retaining the CA's ability to patrol alone, it also added punch to the echelon, especially to the echelons with 6 or less ships. It was introduced in Y181, players may use it at an earlier date by removing some or all of the rear firing PL-Fs and PH-3s.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 11l/6l. Command rating 8. Can be substituted for CA (once per year) beginning in Y181. A counter is provided.

(R13010) HEAVY STAR CRUISER (CSB) This was the upgraded version of the standard Star Cruiser. It was introduced in Y181, as a counter to the heavy command cruisers introduced by the Gorns and Romulans. A twin PPD version (the CAS) was also introduced in combination with this ship. Players may use it at an earlier date by removing some or all of the rear firing PL-Fs and PH3s.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 11l/6l. Command rating 8. Can be substituted for CA (once per year) beginning in Y181. A counter is provided.

Counter Factors are 11/6. Command rating 8. Can be substituted for CA (once per year) beginning in Y181. A counter is provided.

(R13004) HEAVY CRUISER (CAT) Before the introduction of the PPD, the standard ISC CA mounted Plasma-Gs. These ships were in service in Y158, perhaps even earlier. When the PPD and Plas-S were introduced, these ships were converted to Star Cruisers (and given any appropriate refits at that time).

(13005) GALACTIC SURVEY CRUISER (GSC) The larger brother to the Survey Cruiser, the GSC was based on the CAT. It was designed to explore toward the Gorn and Romulan border, where it superior firepower gave it a better chance to fulfill its mission in the face of expected opposition. 2 of these ships were built, in Y158 (or earlier). Both survived the Pacification and Andromedan wars. Unlike most Survey Cruisers, they were never operated as CVs in wartime. Note: This ship was in service before the refits, to use it pre Y170, delete 2 PL-F (no PL-F) and 4 PH-3 (no PH-3), PL-S are PL-G (same arcs) BPV= 162/132. To use in between Y170-Y182, delete 4 PL-F (two per side) and 2 PH-3 (one per side) BPV= 180/150.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter factors are 7-10u/4-5. Command rating 8. EWP is 4. Two can be built by substituting for a CA (once per year) beginning in Y158. Cost is 5 EP. A counter is provided.

(R13D.320) FAST SCOUT CRUISER (FSC) These ships were a variant of the Fast Cruisers, they were designed at the same time. The first FSC actually entered service a few months ahead of the first CF in the fall of Y183. The ISC intended to use them in pairs to provide long range and high speed scouting. The onset of X-ships spelled their doom and only a pair were ever built.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 5-10u/3-5. Command rating 8. (4EW:2AF)(1EW:5AF). Can be converted from CF cost 5 EP or CA cost 6 EP (two step conversion) once per year beginning in the Fall of Y183. Alternatively, if in a pre-general war or non-historical game, they could be converted on the first turn the ISC are active. A counter is provided.

(R13P.321) FAST CARRIER (FCV) The enthusiasm for the concept of fast cruisers led to this proposal. The idea for this was to have been used together with the fast cruiser and fast scout cruiser to form fast, but deadly, raiding forces. The ship would have also served double duty as it could have been used as a regular carrier when provided with the same escort group as a CV/CVS (CE 2xDE).
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 8-10(6)/4-5(3). Command rating 8. Can be converted from CF cost 2 plus the cost of the fighters once per year beginning in the Spring of Y184. Counters for the FCV and the 4FCV and the are provided.

(R13006) ASSAULT CRUISER (CLJ) Like the Gorns, the ISC introduced their answer to the SparrowHawk-J in Y178. A CL was modified to mount a Plasma-S in place of each side phaser. Only two ships of this type was built for use in base assaults. Note: This ship suffers from shock using the same shock rules as the SPH-J.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 10-8(S)/4. Command rating 6. Can be converted from CL (once per year) beginning in Y178. Cost is 3 EP. A counter is provided.

(R13D.401) SCOUT ESCORT CRUISER (SEC) The ISC maintained a watchful eye on the many new ship designs being produced by the rest of the Galaxy. Some with the ISC High Command noted with interest the new Scout Escort Cruisers and ordered a study. After completion of the study, the High Command commissioned a design, but for reasons known only to the themselves, they never followed it up with the production of Scout Escort Cruisers.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 3-8 un /1-4n. Command rating 6. Can be converted in Y181 from a CL for 4 EP; or from a CLV for 3 EP. EW=3. A Counter is provided.

(R13D.402) FAST TACTICAL TRANSPORT (FTT) The ISC, like all the races, found that re-supplying the fast and far reaching X-ships was a difficult task for their standard tugs and LTTs. Not wanting to divert the limited number of X-ships to this task they designed a fast medium transport. Two special sensors were added to aid in both locating the X-ships and enemy ships that needed to be avoided. This ship is capable of carrying any pod, however, it rarely carried anything but a cargo pod and many times carried no pod at all.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 4-8Fu/2-4. Command Rating 6. EW=2. Can built one per turn beginning in SY184. Build cost is 8 EP. Counts against both scouts and LTTs. A counter is provided.

(R13D.405) LIGHT COMMAND CRUISER (CLC) One of the lessons the ISC learned while using their battle simulators to develop their tactics was that they might need a command ship to lead smaller squadrons. They felt the CCs were too costly for this use and so turned to their light cruiser.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 8/4. Command rating 7. Can be converted from CL beginning in Y173. Counts as CA to CC conversion Cost is 2 EP. A counter is provided.

Counter Factors are 2-8(8H) u /1-4(4H). Command rating 6. Can be converted in Y185 from a CSV for 2 EP. EW=3. A counter is provided.

(R13D.408) SCOUT PATROL CARRIER (SVP) The ISC with a watchful eye on the other races noted with interest the development of the Scout Patrol Carrier and decided to produce one of their own. Fleet command was pleased with the design but the ship captains bemoaned the fact they had no Heavy Plasma weapons.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 3-7(9)u/1-4(4). Command Rating 6. Can be converted from CL in Y179 cost is 5 EP plus the cost of fighters. EW=3. Counters for both the SVP and 3SVP are provided.

(R13D.409) FLOTILLA CONTROL SHIP (FCS) The ISC were not at first receptive to the idea of theis class of ship. Eventually however they funded a design study which in turn led to the construction of a concept ship. It is known that at least two additional ships of this class were built.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 3-7(3)Pu/1-4(1)P. Command Rating 6. Can be converted from CL in Y184 cost is 5 EP plus the cost of fighters. EW=3. Counters for both the FCS and 3FCS are provided.

(R13017) INTERCEPTOR TENDER/PFT (CLP) In Y180 a pair of ISC CLs were converted to carry interceptors. This ship became the basis for the PFT in Y183. Both ships carried PFs after Y183.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 8P/4P. Command rating 8. Can be converted form CL (once per year) beginning in Y183. Cost is 4 EP. A counter is provided.

(R13002) MULTI-ROLE CRUISER (MRC) Introduced a year later than the HDW, this ship was built on the now forgotten CM hull in an attempt to avoid building both a plasma armed and PPD armed ship.  The forward PL-G's can not be upgraded to PL-S, but the rear option mounts can hold one PL-S.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 9-8/4-5. Command rating 8. Can be substituted for CL (once per year) beginning in Y190. A counter is provided.

(R13009) MULTI-ROLE STRIKE CRUISER (MRS) The second MRC was built with twin PPDs and the PL-Gs were omitted.  Only one ship of this type was built. The rear option mounts can hold one PL-S. In F&E terms this ship is identical to a MRC and no counter is provided.

(R13016) MEDUIM PF TENDER (MPF) It was proposed in Y183 to convert the the heavy scout class ships to PFTs. One or two were converted before the Pacification began.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 4-8Pu/4P. Command rating 6. EW = 3. Can be converted in Y183 from a HSC for 2 EP. A counter is provided.

(R13P.520) WAR STRIKE CRUISER (CSW) Produced in far fewer numbers than the CW, this is an alternate version of the War Cruiser. It used PPDs instead of Plasma-S as its heavy weapon. This provided bigger direct firpower but the lack of PPD meant limited production. As with the CW, which it is based on, it is an unbuilt variant (UNV) in Y170 but a regular production warship (RPW) in Y187.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.

Counter Factors are 4-7/2-4. Command rating 6. Can be converted from DD beginning in Y170 limit one every other year. EWP = 4. Cost is 4 EP. A counter is provided.

(R13P.522) WAR ESCORT CRUISER (CWE) At least a few of the newly produced CWs were then converted to this design. They were used to fill in for the CEs when that type ran short.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 6-7n /3-4n. Command rating 6. Can be converted in Y187 from a CW for 2 EP. A counter is provided.

(R13.526) WAR COMMANDO CRUISER (CWG) A very rare and seldom seem variant of the war cruiser. It is believed from various sightings and intelligence sources that only a single example of this ship was ever produced. With its huge shuttle bay and numerous transporters the ship was capable of putting huge number of ground troops into combat situations in a hurry.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 4-7G/2-4G. Command rating 6. Can be converted from CW beginning in Y187 limit one every other year. Cost is 2 EP. A counter is provided.

  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 4-7(9)/2-4(4). Command rating 6. Can be converted from CW beginning in Y187. Cost is 2 EP plus fighters. Counters for both the WVP and 3WVP are provided.

(R13P.528) WAR SCOUT CARRIER (WSV) Needing both EW support and firepower forced some Cantons to consider this design. Little is known about actual production figures but at least a few sources believe some of these ships were built. If they had een built they would most likely been assigned a CWE and DWE as escorts.

Counter Factors are 4-7(8H)u/2-4(4H). Command rating 6. Can be converted from CW beginning in Y187. Cost is 5 EP plus fighters. Counters for both the WSV and 3WSV are provided.

(R13P.529) WAR PF TENDER (WPF) As PFs became more and more plentiful some Cantons began modifying their war cruisers to PF Tenders. It is not known how many of these ships were built but most agree that it was a fairly large number.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 5-7(P)u/2-4. Command rating 6. Can be converted from CW beginning in Y187. Cost is 5 EP. A counters is provided.

(R13D.551) WAR DESTROYER SCOUT (DWS) A fairly rare conversion of a FF. Most of these conversions were to pure combat designs but once in a while the need for additional scouts produced this design.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 3-6u/1-3. Command rating 4. Can be converted from FF beginning in Y188. EWP = 2. Cost is 3 EP. A counter is provided.

Counter Factors are 6(4)/3(2). Command rating 4. Can be converted from FF beginning in Y188. Cost is 2 EP plus the cost of fighters. Counters for bothe DWV and 2 DWV are provided.

(R13D.554) WAR DESTROYER LEADER (DWL) Although more than one Canton considered this design (it was a minor improvement to the DW) all historical records point ot the fact that only a couple of Cantons actually produced this design.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 7-6/3. Command rating 5. Can be converted from DD in Y188. Cost is 2 EP. A counter is provided.

(R13D.605) LIGHT SURVEY SHIP (LSS) The LSS was based on the DD and designed at the same time as the SR. The LSS was not intended for the long range survey missions of the SR, rather it's mission was to provide for more detailed exploration of systems first located by its larger cousins. After the ISC first learned of the Gorn and Romulans it was also used to keep an eye of their comings and goings.

Counter Factors are 3-6u/1-3. Command rating 4. EWP is 2. Can be substituted for DD (once per year) beginning in Y160. Cost is 3 EP. A counter is provided.

(R13P.606) DESTROYER PF TENDER (DPF) When the ISC began to look to field a PF Tender they looked at both the DD and CL. They did develop plans based on both the CL and the smalller DD hull. In the end they decided the DD hull was too small and selected the CL.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 3-6Pu/1-3P. Command rating 4. EWP is 2. Can be substituted for DD (once per year) beginning in Y183. Cost is 5 EP. A counter is provided.

(R13P.801) SCOUT FRIGATE (FFS) A rarely seen variant of the Frigate. The ISC quickly found this ship too small and vulnerable. The few ships built were relgated to duty near the center of the ISC Trusteeship Territority.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 2-5u/1-3. Command Rating 3. EW=1. Two FF in the home fleet are actually FFS. Can convert from FF cost is 1 EP. Can be substituted for FF cost is 4 EP. A counter is provided.

(R13P.810) GUNFIGHTER FRIGATE (GFF) Packing more firepower than the DD, this design would have been well suited on the Gunline, replacing standard FFs, if not for the high cost and fragile nature of the design.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 7-5/3. Command Rating 3. Can be converted from FF in Y175 cost is 2 EP, or subbed for FF in Y175 cost is 3.5 EP, or. A counter is provided.

(R13D.819) GUNSLINGER ESCORT FRIGATE (GFE) The ISC, as did most of the races, considered the idea of producing an escort version of a Gunfighter frigate. No ship of this type was ever produced.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 6-5/3. Command rating 3. Can be converted from FF (once per year) beginning in FY176, cost is 2 EP. Is a two-step Conversion; FF to FFE, FFE to GFE. A counter is provided.

(R13003) CORVETTE (COR) The ISC began work on a corvette in Y184. Unlike the other fleets, the ISC had little need at the time for an attrition unit, feeling that it would be too small to serve on the gunline. They did find that that a corvette would be useful as a convoy escort or for planetary defense. Built in small numbers from Y185, the ship losses from the Andromedan invasion in Y188 resulted in full scale production.

Note: Due to the small size of this ship, a type-VI drone does 4 pts. of damage rather than 2, and any defensive fire systems treat this ship as if it was a PF.

Note: This ship can land and take off from a planet using all landing systems.

R13201 MULTI-ROLE CRUISER (MRX) The ISC modified a MRC to the MRX in Y185 to provide specialty ships to the Echelon of Judgment. 2 per year were built.
