====Deacon====
The 28'000-ton destroyer of the fleet, the Deacon is a rapidly thrown-together design, with the original intent of it being a heavy transport vessel. It was expeditiously retrofitted for war by using the original designated empty storage space to house the necessary machinery for the onboard weapons and missile system, thus the blocky look of the design. The heavy design of the ship also lends it a poor top speed of 1170kmph.

====Shaman====
The 
129'000-ton carrier of the Somtaaw fleet. The Shaman is equipped with four bays, two open ones for light-class ships and two blast-door shielded ones meant for medium-class vessels. The Shaman is equipped with the necessary equipment to house, maintain, repair and if necessary, build vessels up to medium-class. Two topside and two underside gun turrets form the ship's sole defensive capability, which is more than adequate to handle the occasional fighter swarm or lone frigate. The prodigious design grants it a top speed of 954kmph at default.

====Archangel====
A dreadnought. The Archangel is designed using Bentusi ship-design principles, but with compromises to allow for stability with the relatively low-tech available to Hiigarans. The ship houses four heavy-class gun turrets, two high-strength traditional ion-cannon turrets, twin large-capacity missile banks, and the Taiidani-designed Repulsor system. The ship houses the means necessary to rapidly refurnish the missile bays, and in conjunction with its other weapons, the Archangel can hold i(contracted; show full)ture, the Kuun-Lan used the new space to house research facilities and the innumerable banks of storage and processor systems needed to keep a warfaring fleet in operation. In addition, the vessel boasts a feature no other Mothership-class spacecraft in the entire Hiigaran Navy can claim; a massive nuclear-based cannon that has a theoretical maximum reach of 900km. The target must however be significantly closer than 900km in order to maintain the effectiveness of the weapon.
