The Aquarian Alliance 

  A Starfleet Wars Conversion to Full Thrust (Fleet Book)
 
Background
"The Aquarians rely on their defensive shielding since their ships have fewer power-laser turrets. Their ships offer more crew comfort than the other powers resulting in less combat fatigue. The Aquarians prefer to stand off at long range and engage in hit-and-run operations. With their few ships they can ill afford losses of any kind. The development of an invisibility screen has made these tactics that much more successful." 
 
Design Philosophy - Defensive, long range sniping
Average hulls, very good screens, all ships have at least Level 1, no armor, good beam batteries. No heavy weapon but they do have a cloak. (10%mass, cost is x10 mass used. When cloak is active, enemy knows there is a ship there but can not identify size or type, fire from a cloaked ship treats beam batteries as 1 class smaller, fire at a cloaked ship doubles effective range). Some fighters, fewer PDS coverage, average/low thrust. Aquarian ships have the most crew comfort of any ships, indicated by the extra spaces for the crew.
