Redchigh relaxed... tensed his muscles,relaxed again.
War was on the horizon, and his adreneline was pumping.
"How are our fleets, angien?"
"They're all at full efficiency. The ones damaged in Sheaghi have been replaced by stand-ins."
"Good. Are our fleets armed? Let me see a recent report."
"Yes, sir!" Angien hands REDchigh a datapad she just happened to have in her pocket, and Red began to look it over.

TOP SECRET
ONLY TO BE SEEN BY ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS UNDER REDCHIGH
Azdgari Ship Classes and Fleet Counts:
Standard Azdara: (300,000) (Interceptor Class) Same old fighter with minor upgrades.
3 cannons, Shield Ram
Suicide Azdara: (Under Development) Unmanned, no weapons, slightly larger power core and stronger shield ram. Has one space mine where cockpit should be.
1 Space Mine, Shield Ram
Azdgari Gunboat: (Under Development) Basically a massively upgraded Azdara- Bulged hull, more shields, lots more space, only drawback is drastically less maneuverability.
3 S/W cannons, 1 Dispersal Rocket Launcer, 5 Rockets, Shield Ram
AA-2: (192,500) (Heavy Gunboat Class) Class-2 Arada. Same shield amount, but higher recharge.
3 S/W cannons, one turret, 3 Dispersal rocket launchers, 15 ammo, Shield Ram
Lazira: (100,000) (Escort Destroyer Class) Upgraded Lazira design, with green and blue streaks.
3 S/W turrets, 2 Turrets, 3 Dispersal Rocket Launchers, 20 ammo, 5 shield drones, Shield Ram
Igadzra: (50,000) (Warship Class) You know what this is..
8 Turrets, 3 SAI Launchers, 30 Ammo, 5 Shield Drones, Shield Ram
Carriers:
These are modified Azdgari Warships, designed to carry fighters or mines to the battlefield.
Azdara Carrier: (60,750) 6 turrets, 2 SAI launchers, 20 ammo, 5 Shield Drones, 12 Azdaras, Shield Ram
Defensive Carrier: (17,000) 6 turrets, 20 Shield Drones, 5 Mine Layers, 55 Mines, Shield Ram
Frigate: (210) Nearly the size of a Warship, this is almost always certainly an offensive object. Shields only slightly more than the Lazira, this vulnerable ship is usually brought in after defenses have been destroyed. This ship is the only one that comes standard with the biological temporal weapon, along with around 80 High-Yield bombs (not mines.. Bombs are laser guided and can hit a ground-based target with fair accuracy), this is used for planetary bombardments. Requires escort in hostile territory
4 turrets, lots of bombs, Shield Ram

Red smiled and looked at Angien "So.. I see you want a Supercruiser?" He laughs.
Angien gets nervous and speaks up "Code 3-A page 912 states that a second in command is allowed a...... but I don't.... See, I really...."
"Relax Angien! We've served together for years. I would want no other commander serving alongside in their own Supercruiser! I see the day approaching when our fleets will be side by side, basking on Azdgari glory!"
Angien smiled, but ran off. This was too much. She respected him, sure. But she's liked him for longer.. ever since she saw a holo of him as a renegade pilot. Can't get into that now... the galaxy is depending on them to cripple the Teh-Rak....
Redchigh typed in a message to be given to Angien later.
