military & civilian
Military & civilian population use ships, as we do use cars. a primary source of transportation. the most common of these transports are freighters. Bringing large amounts of resources to colony to colony

Military Crafts
Fighters, smallest of all spacecrafts, either maned or unmaned a squad of them can take out a frigate's screens, often using a fixed mounted weapons system, and a AEGIS system computer to locate such things to take out.

Frigates, smallest mulitmaned craft, quick and in large production, often the first responder in situations. cheap and easy to make, but so many designs are used from Humans, to Thedarans, they are usually able to land on a planet without strain. Frigates also carry distortion drives and commonly helium-3 fusion drives.

Crusiers, like the battleships of today, midsized crafts, with a thick hull, and strong weapons and screens.

Carriers, these large crafts carry fighters, and sometimes a frigate or 2. the equivalent of today's battleship carrier

Dreadnoughts, The largest of all crafts, carrying big powerful turrets and weapons, plus strong screens, these are the capital ships, their hull integrity is massive, they cannot land upon a planet without assistance of several crusier sized ships.
