Latin League Warships

The Latin League space forces are comprised of a host of different ship types. Fleet compositions center around an assault ship or battlecruiser, defended by a number of escort ships. Their doctrine emphasizes rapid deployment, humanitarian flexibility, and cooperative defense under coalition banners.
