The Space Force

The U.S. military depends heavily on space for communications, reconnaissance, and detecting incoming missiles. Russia and China have been building surface-to-air missiles powerful enough to take out a satellite, Albrecht notes, a move that has U.S. officials increasingly concerned. In 2007, China even shot down one of its own aging weather satellites in a test of the technology that the U.S. protested.

The Free Cal-Tex Fleet

The Free Cal-Tex fleet philosophy follows
20th century American naval tradition by
the use of carrier battle groups.
*************************
At present there are only four carrier battle
groups in service, with two more under
construction.As a consequence the FCT
is very careful in their deployment.
*************************
In keeping with the Free Cal-Tex practice
of sticking a finger in the NACs' eye the
principle capital ship the Space Carrier
Vehicle of the Lexington class are named
for American revolutionary battles.
*************************
In Service:
LEXINGTON SCVN 1800
BUNKER HILL SCVN 1801
SARATOGA SCVN 1802
YORKTOWN SCVN 1803
*************************
Under Construction:
VALLEYFORGE SCVN 1804
TICONDEROGA SCVN 1805
*************************
The SCVN of the Lexington class are very
powerful craft with a large complament of
fighter and bomber craft and also a well
equipped Marine task force.
*************************
All other craft in a FCT Carrier Battle Group
(CBG) are to support and protect the SCVN.
A typical CBG will have the one SCVN
with four to six destroyers, and six frigates,
two cruisers, one battlecruiser/space control
ship, and up to two light carriers.

Space Above and Beyond (a.k.a. Space 2063)


"We thought we were alone. We believed the universe was ours. Until one night in 2063, on an Earth colony 16 light years away, they struck. And now we're at war. My name is Lieutenant Colonel T.C. McQueen. I'm an In-Vitro, a race of artificially gestated lifeforms. I command a Marine Corps Squadron; the 58th. They call us the Wild Cards. We fight when called. In space, on land, and at sea. To lose this war means more than defeat; to surrender is to never go home. All of us must rise to the call...Above and Beyond."

Created by James Wong and Glen Morgan
