FRONT-LINE FLEET
6 SOULAKI SL BATTLECRUISER
The Soulaki is the CSF's top-of-the-line battlecruiser, the introduction of the Soulaki finally gave the clones a ship that would not be disgraced going up against a top-line DDS ship like the Quasar 15A. The Soulaki is large and powerful, and the fastest ship in their fleet, able to reach near 700c. Weaponry is reported as triple-phase proton cannons. All Soulaki SL and SLB/K have begun an upgrade and unification programme to SLM standard .
Built : 2101-2107
Planned Withdrawal : 2025 onwards
Speed : 680c (cruise)
Armament : triple-phase proton cannons, quad-phase missile launcher
10 SOULAKI SLB/SLBK BATTLECRUISER
The final Soulakis were to a higher specification, changes included improved performance and firepower. A further 5 examples are to the slightly improved SLBK standard. Some older SLs have also been bought up to this standard. All ships will be bought to the unified SLM standard.
Built : 2107-2112
Planned Withdrawal : 2031 onwards
Speed : 700c-730c (cruise)
Armament : triple-phase proton cannons, quad-phase missile launcher
20 (+18) SOULAKI SLM BATTLECRUISER

Built : 2118-2122
Planned Withdrawal : 2142-5
Speed : 4800ec (worm) 730c (cruise)
Armament : triple-phase proton cannons, quad-phase missile launcher, EM cannon
40 (+5) ADVANCED COSMOS CS/CG CRUISER
The CS version of the Cosmos was a long-awaited second generation (known as the Advanced Cosmos) with a new engine giving a top speed of 650c. The super-energy cannon was also upgraded, rumoured to be as powerful as the Z cannon currently used in DDS Quasar class ships. Sensors and ECM were also been upgraded. Whereas normal Cosmos CA/K are used as general purpose ships Cosmos CS tend to be used in fleet operations as backup to the Soulakis and Molentics and are classed as First Line Cruisers. The later CG is fairly similar to the CS though has a more ground attack optimised armament.

Planned Withdrawal : 2127 onwards
Speed : 650c
Armament : super-energy cannon, various laser cannons, missile launcher

The programme also included 2 newly secured ex-Utrekian ships. The work included upgrades to the propulsion and armament as well as life extending refurbishment. Twenty new built MTMs are to be built to an improved MTM2 standard from 2119.

21 (+4) KELSAN KS BOMBER
The Kelsan is a strike bomber intended to attack ground targets and major space targets. The Kelsan has 8 missile bays large enough to carry missiles like CSM-S though these bays can also carry a variety of smaller missiles. It also has a secondary mine-laying role. It is rumoured that it can be also used in a Sigint role with an appropriate pod. The last 8 ships will be to KSE standard with improved sensors, a more powerful engine and improved self-defence weapons. The older ships will later be upgraded to the same standard.

53 LEGACY COSMOS CA/CK CRUISER
The Cosmos A (usually just referred to as Cosmos) is a development of the Raegris designed Yel'Tema class, after the earlier reliance on Utrekian technology proved the CSF's downfall in a battle against the Utrek the CSF has standardised on the Cosmos as it's main cruiser type. Although the ship is a bit slow, current examples can only reach 450c, it is heavily armed. The Cosmos' main cannon is nearly as devastating as the DDS Z-cannon. Nowadays these older ships have been redesignated Second Line Cruisers and are known officially as Legacy Cosmos to differentiate them from later ships.
All but 18 ships have undergone rebuilding to give them another 12-15 years of life, there have also been some minor updates done, these are known as Cosmos CK.
