Starfleet Wars

The Entomalian Empire

Background "The Entomalian Empire forces are not as well developed as the Terrans but are far more numerous, particularly in the dreadnought and cruiser squadrons. The assault carriers are few in number and in past encounters the fleet has suffered for the lack of the nimble attack craft. The Entomalians prefer to "box" their opponents in with their numerically superior forces and pour in a withering fire from all directions."    Design Philosophy (Weak ships, but lots of them) Fragile/weak hulls about half the strength of other races, heavy armour (10% mass), weak screens, weak beam batteries, heavy weapons are Submunition packs and Salvo Missiles, few fighters, weak PDS coverage, average thrust. 2nd generation ships have a better beam batteries and better long range firepower.
