Surface Vessels
These are surface vessels designed by FSI personnel.

Frigates
Burgess Class FrigateThe Burgess Class is a light frigate typically equipped with varying anti-air batteries and a small number of anti ship missiles. Some also field 560 mm underwater torpedoes. The Burgess compliments other vessels with several long range radar and high precision sonar. It is also carries two motor launches that are capable of overtaking most surface ships. An attack helicopter based off of the rear deck allows this vessel to partake in ASW, SAR, and search and destroy missions.

Battleships
Burrows Class Heavy Surface CombatantThe Burrows Class is a large ship designed for direct surface to surface warfare. Until recently, ships of this size and armament would have been called Battleships, however, recent Battle Cruisers have pushed this designation onto obsolescence. The Burrows mounts fifteen 48 cm long range guns in five triple mount turrets. Supported by fourteen dual mounted 157 mm AAA and 60 single 40 mm Borfors, this ship excels at area denial. Some vessels are equipped with batteries of Harpoon anti-ship missiles at the expense of extra 48 cm ammunition.

Weapon Systems
Any weapon systems worthy of mentioning will be listed here, in their respective categories

Airborne
Mark One Airborne Laser: A constant-beam laser weapon mounted under aircraft. High energy consumption and short range, but high damage. Comparable to the Tactical Laser System from Ace Combat.

Shipboard
Type 11 Multi-Purpose Missile Pod (MPMP): The Type 11 missile pod is a modular missile system able to load and fire a plethora of missiles. Layouts include anti-fighter (36 seeking missiles), anti-ship (one Mk 25 EFP Swordfish Missile), and bunker busting (one Mk 24 Nuclear tipped hypersonic missile).

Shipbreaker Anti-ship missile: The Shipbreaker missile is FSI's primary heavy anti ship missile. Containing a micro warp drive, these large missiles are able to attain tremendous speeds before striking their target. An armoured cap protects the missile from some CIWS fire, and allows the missile to punch through armour without breaking up. Once inside an enemy vessel a 15 kiloton warhead detonates, dealing tremendous damage to the vessel (often cutting large vessels in half).

Point Defence, Railgun (PDRG): The PDRG is a multi barrel rapid cycle railgun capable of firing 900 two pound tungsten rounds a minute (at 70,000 m/s). Due to the high rate of fire and the speed of its projectiles it excels at shooting down aircraft, missiles, and some sublight munitions. The only drawback to the weapon is that the rapid cycle capacitors that allow it to fire quickly overheat very fast, and as such can only fire in short bursts (and not at all in atmosphere).

Mark 1P MAC: A prototype railgun firing a 600 t solid ferric tungsten round at 20,000 m/s (72,000km/h)

Mark 1 MAC: A MAC firing a 600 t solid ferric tungsten round at 30,000 m/s (108,000km/h) Replaces all Mk 1Ps

Mark 2 MAC: A large diameter MAC firing a 1,400 t solid ferric tungsten round at 20,000 m/s (72,000km/h)

Mark 1 Railgun: The first railgun ever built entirely by FSI. It fires a 9.6 t ferric tungsten projectile at 28,000m/s (100,800km/h).

Mark 3 railgun: A turret mounted railgun firing a 23.5 t ferric tungsten projectile at 35,000m/s (126,000km/h). Can load multiple ammo types (HE, AP, Fragmentation, Guided)
