While not as flashy or awe-inspiring as the Republic's capital ships, modern fleet operations would quickly grind to a halt without a network of supply bases and support ships to keep the vessels fueled, stocked with food and water, and in good repair.

As visionary leaders demonstrated the potential of starfighters to serve as a powerful striking arm of the fleets, the Umbrian Republic Navy concluded that their existing carriers were too small. Individually, these vessels housed too few fighters for the massed wave tactics which were required for them to damage larger warships.

Awe inspiring in its scale and destructive power, the Corsialto-class battleship was the titan of pre-war Umbrian starship design and engineering. At over a kilometer and a half-long, it would be the largest warship produced by the Republic in the run up to the Ascomanni conflict, and it bristled with enough heavy guns and missiles to obliterate nearly anything it would come up against.

Designed as a cruiser killer, the Teorza was the first major capital ship to be designed following the discovery of the Ascomanni. Created by the CID Future Concepts Division, it was intended to address the deficiency in Umbrian capital ships vis-a-vie their larger Ascomanni counterparts. The Teorza was purpose built to be able to quickly destroy Asco cruisers.

The Folca-class was the first post-New Model Fleet design to be accepted by the Navy for widescale production. The Folca was purpose built to stand in the line of battle, with enough armor and firepower to go toe to toe with enemy combatants. They could also be assembled more quickly than the larger battleships and battlecruisers they often fought alongside, while still representing a powerful offensive resource for Umbrian fleet commanders.
