GRN-01 "Perilous" Gallic Royal Navy Gunboat Summary
The official design document states that the Perilous is "The backbone of the Royal Navy's ongoing efforts to stem the tide of unwanted incursion. Equipped to quickly put to paid any fools rash enough to test the fighter defenses of Gallic lanes and infrastructure."
While dramatized, this description is relatively correct. The word you have to use while thinking of the Perilous is "average", for that is what it is. Average hull strength, average powercore, average speed, average turn rate, et cetera. It is a remarkably average craft, and it will perform rather averagely in combat. It is competent, to put it simply, but nothing special. A skilled commander might be able to push the Perilous to its limits, but otherwise - average.

GRN-02 "Obstinate" Gallic Royal Navy Cruiser Summary
"Built as a powerful and deadly response to growing criminal threats throughout Gallia, this vessel is capable of emerging victorious from any battle."
The issue with this statement is that it is meant for civilians as propaganda, as we all know. However, for those inside the GRN - we all know it as one thing - a flying trash can. For it is, remarkably, the worst cruiser in the entire sector, save for that ugly block the Colonials call a warship. There are talks that the GRN are looking to upgrade the vessel's maneuverability and armor, and hopefully those go through. Until then, attempt to find alternatives to using this outdated platform.

GRN-03 "Valor" Gallic Royal Navy Battleship Summary
"The Valor is the result of nearly unlimited resources poured into the concept of overwhelming security. Forged to last the centuries and single handily quell the planetary populations of entire star systems, the Valor is a vessel that has only found a match in itself."
While it appears they hired the same man to write the Obstinate and the Valor design document description, this time - luckily for him - it was correct. The Valor is a pinnacle of capital ship technology, with sturdy armor plating, advanced weapon systems, high-power engines, and an incredibly powerful forward plasma launcher capable of decimating vessels in one shot. Without a doubt, this warship design is deserving of being the flagship vessel of the Royal Navy.

RP-48 "Briller" Gallic Repair Ship Summary
"Originally designed by EFL Oil & Machinery to conduct repairs to its space stations, the Briller repair ship has been adapted to fulfill the versatile needs of repairing stations, servicing damaged spacecraft, and delivering vital damage control supplies to critically endangered ships."
There isn't a lot to say about the Briller. It's a repair ship - it's duty is to carry an obscene amount of emergency repair nanobots and shield batteries, and utilize these to repair other vessels (and itself) mid-fight. This can give capital ships a severe advantage over their enemies, as they do not need to retreat to resupply.

MCU-1 "Aurochs" Gallic Freighter Summary
"If one wants to move large cargo fast, "Aurochs" is the right ship for the job.", the advertisement boasts. The Aurochs, in practice, is a very capable freighter, with a small but workable cargo hold. While it has its applications as a fast blockade runner or trade vessel, its true strength lies in its anti-snub capability, where it can act as a support vessel for other snubcraft. However, too many snubs focusing the freighter will cause it to fall quickly, so be alert if you field one as a support vessel.

MIN-3R "Rock Badger" Gallic Miner Summary
The Rock Badger, named after the rock badger species indigenous to the mountains of Planet Le Mans, is a transport / mining vessel utilized by GMS in hazardous asteroid fields, where danger is much higher. The Rock Badger maintains a relatively small cargo hold for a transport, but is able to quickly mine and reprocess ore. It also boasts some combat capability, with a whopping ten transport turrets on an otherwise small frame.

GAT-88 "Taureau" Gallic Armored Transport Summary
The Taureau was originally designed to carry assault troops or war supplies to the battlefield without the need for a fighter escort, and is capable of directly assaulting capital ships and space stations. The Taureau is based off the Perilous, but with most of the powercore removed to make room for cargo capacity.
Typically, Taureaus in service with the Royal Navy are seen transporting a company of Royal Marines along with their battle gear, either to Planet Leeds or one of the orbiting battleships to prepare for boarding actions. It is also used as a shuttle for prisoners, high value cargo, high ranking officers, diplomats, and even members of the Royal court. It is also very good for cargo interdiction.

ME-UH "Vache" Gallic Train Summary
The Vache was designed as a transport to haul vast amounts of cargo through the ever-expanding worlds of Gallia. With its sprawling cargo hold and simple design, it is easy to see why the corporations of Gallia utilize the Vache to such an extent.
In particular, the Royal Navy uses the Vache as an all-purpose transport vessel, typically to resupply stations or vessels outside of Gallic space, but not in dangerous areas.

"Lucullus" Gallic Liner Summary
Seen as a luxurious alternative to the rugged transports used to carry cargo, the Lucullus liner is designed to be the ultimate in high-price, high-quality passenger transport. Featuring countless amenities and a luxurious design, both interior and exterior, the Lucullus is a ship made to please - and does so quite well. It is also perfectly capable of defending itself, with plenty of weapons, a thick armor plating, and generous powercore. All in all, a fine (if expensive) passenger transport vessel.
