Fleet Book 1 Reinforcements
 The ships mentioned in Fleet Book 1 text but not included as designs or miniatures.


ESU - Eurasian Solar Union

The Eurasian Solar Union Star Navy

(Voyenno-Kosmicheskiy Flot)

 

Full Thrust Fleet Book: Volume 1 lists stats for the original line of ESU miniatures.  In the description text, some specific variants are detailed, other ship classes are mentioned by name, and there are references to other unnamed classes of ships.  This is an attempt to flesh out these other classes or ships and fully define the variants mentioned.  These ships should follow the design philosophies used by other ESU ships allowing them to fit nicely into anyone's ESU fleet.

 

Older and outdated classes may have a mass penalty in the ship designs to account for older less efficient systems compared the to the current tech level of 'modern' ships in that fleet.

 

Corvettes

"The Nanuchka II has now almost completely replaced the older Nanuchka I corvette, to which it actually bears very little similarity to in apperance."

Escort Cruisers
"The Beijing/B was essentially a new class created from the total refit of a large number of very elderly Beijing/A CEs. The program took place between 2158 and 2164, but the original Beijing/A hulls date from the mid-2130's.  There is even a handful of unconverted Beijing/A ships still in service in ESU reserve commands, though how many of there are actually battleworthy is a debatable point."

Battledreadnoughts
The following is the correct text for the Rostov BDN from the Fleet Book Errata (Oct 1998)
The Rostov is the BDN class of the "family" of ship designs from the Tsien-Valkov design bureau, which began with the Manchuria BCs at the start of the 2170s. All of the designs are well armed and protected, with good drive power, and are giving the ESU Navy a much-needed boost in its strike capabilities. As with most BDNs, the Rostov carries a single embarked fighter group for both anti-shipping and ground support operations. Five built-to-order Rostovs were exported to the Pan African Union between 2178 and 79, to form the major battleline strength of the PAU's rapidly-expanding and modernising navy; this sale was purely a political move, which somewhat upset the ESU Admiralty who (understandably) felt that their own requirements for replacement fleet units should have taken priority.
