(R17P.301) FAST CRUISER (FC) As the Vudar plotted their revolt, they followed the ship designs and development of the Klingons specifically and the other races generally. Following the lead of the other races, the Vudar produced a single example of a fast crusier. The design was not considered successful as many within the Vudar high command felt the trade of speed for firpower a poor choice.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 7-8(F)/4. Command rating 8. Can build one FC per year by substitution beginning in Y176. Cost is 9 EP. A counter is provided.

(R17P.302) HEAVY CRUISER MAULER (CAM) While the Klingons never allowed the Vudars mauler technology this did not stop them from secretly working on plans to develop maulers. This ship, while never actually built, gives one idea of how the Vudars might have proceeded with such a design. The ship is subject to shock and has a shock rating of 17.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 10/4. Command Rating 8. Can convert one CA per year beginning in the Spring of Y176. Can have only one in service at any given time. Conversion cost is 5 EP. A counter is provided.

(R17P.303) FLEET TUG (TG) Earlier records seem to indicate the Enclave did not possess the ability to build full size tugs, however, there exists some indication (although records are sparse and unverified) that such a ship was indeed built. Many in the Klingon high command believe the reports concerning this ship are in reality referring to an LTT. The ship, had it existed, would have used Klingon or Vudar built copies of Klingon pods.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 5-8(F)/2-4. Command rating 8. Can build one TG per year by conversion from CA beginning in FY176. Cost is 4 EP. A counter is provided.

(R17P.304) GALACTIC SURVEY CRUISER (GSC) Plans for this ship were drawn up at almost the same time the Hydrans launched a offenive in 178. It is believed that only a single example of this ship was ever produced. The Vudar used the ship to explore space around them looking for additional resources.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 5-8u/3-4. Command Rating 8. Can be converted from CA (once per year) beginning in the Fall Y179. Limit 2 in service at any given time. Cost is 5 EP. EW = 2. A counter is provided.

(R17D.305) FAST STRIKE CARRIER (CVF) During the construction of the second fast cruiser plans were changed to turn it into a fast strike carrier. The ship normally operated alone, but on the rare occassion when used as a "regular" carrier was given an escort group of a CWE and DWE.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 7-8(F)/4. Command rating 8. Can build one FC per year by substitution beginning in Y176, no more than one in service at any time. Cost is 12 EP plus the cost of the fighters. Counters for both the single ship and the 3CVF are provided.

(R17P.306) INTERDICTION CARRIER (CVD) Following the lead of their ex masters the Vudar High Command ordered the shipyards to began laying the plans for such a ship. The single ship of this type which entered service in Y177 was escorted by a CWE and a DWE.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 4-8(12)/2-4(6). Command rating 8. Can build one per year by substitution in Y177, no more than one in service at any time. Cost is 10 EP plus the cost of the fighters. Counters for both the single ship and the 3CVD are provided.

(R17P.501) MULTI-ROLE CRUISER (MRC) Had the Vudar had more war cruiser hulls available they might well had seriously considered producing ships of this class. As was the case with the multi-role cruisers of the other races, additional firepower was provided by carrying two fighters.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 7-8(1)/4. Command rating 6. Can substitute one MRC for NCL once per turn beginning in the Spring of Y182. Cost is 6 EP +1 EP for the fighters.

Counter Factors are 7/4. Command Rating 6. Can convert one CW per year beginning in the Fall of Y176. Can have only one in service at any given time. Conversion cost is 4 EP. A counter is provided.

(R17P.503) WAR CRUISER SCOUT (CWS) Still not satisified with their electronic warfare capability the Vudar in Y178 converted their Light Scouts into this most robust design. One ship was converted in the fall of Y178, the other the following spring.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 3-7u/1-4. Command rating 6. Can convert from CLS one per turn beginning in the Fall of Y178. Cost is 2 EP. EW = 3. A counter is provided.

(R17D.504) PATROL CARRIER (CVP) The Vudar watched as the Klingons deployed a Patrol Carrier. Intrigued by the concept they began making plans to produce such a ship themselves. It appears at least one was produced in Y179 and was seen with a CWE and DWE as escorts.
  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)/1-4(4H). Command Rating 6. Can be converted from CW in Y179 cost is 3 EP plus 18 EP for the fighters. Counters for both the CVP and 3CVP are provided.

(R17D.506) FAST WAR CRUISER (CWF) Some leaders within the Vudar Enclave became convinced of the need to produce ships equivalent to the fast FD5 cruisers the Klingons introduced in Y173. Studies point to the conclusion that such a design was never produced.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
Counter Factors are 6-7F/3-4. Command rating 6. Can be converted in Y178 from a CW for 2 EP. A counter is provided.

(R17D.507) FAST SCOUT CARRIER (CSVF) It would appear based on all available facts that this ship was nothing more than a design proposal as the Vudar had neither the ships to spare, the one CSV being in constant use, nor the resources necessary for a new build. The plans did contain mention that a CWE and DWE were to have been assigned as escorts had the ship been built and used in normal operations.
  F&E FACTS: For those players wishing to add this ship to their F&E games the following would apply.
