As the Alliance began its earnest expansion out into the universe, the demand for a well armed and well maintained navy continued to increase, as it became clear that the army could not fight these new battles alone, like they had fought the Rin. The Alliance had anticipated this, and had instituted a new standard for construction. These new ships were triangular in design, streamlined and almost elegant. The Alliance had begun to make laser weapons on their ships more common by this point, though by no means the universal thing they are in modern terms. No, many Terran warships still used kinetic weaponry, which was really quite good. The Terran navy was picking up speed, though it wasn't the juggernaut we all know and love.

At this point, the Terrans had developed many classifications for their ships. There were escorts, corvettes, frigates, destroyers, light cruisers, cruisers, support cruisers, heavy cruisers, gunships, battlecruisers, carriers, assault carriers, battleships, and of course dreadnoughts. The Terrans were well known for their use of nuclear weaponry at this stage, as while it did no more damage than the average torpedo, the radiation would badly scramble the enemy sensors.

It would be this navy that tested the mettle of the Terran Alliance against the Veydreth and the Ravasect. And in the end, the Veydreth were impressed enough to join the Alliance, and the Ravasect were brought low and restricted at last by Council law. This navy saw the Alliance through more of its expansion than Generation One and the modern navy combined.
