The basic layout of the many types of Dominion Ships and their respective classes (This does not include anything below a Corvette)

Corvette:

A Dominion corvette is the most basic ship within the dominion used mainly for scouting purposes or merchant guard. They come in two classes the Centaur (A basic merchant guard with light weapons but is outfitted with some of the fastest engines in the fleet) and a Pegasus (Heavy armor and weapons but slow)

Frigate:

The First ship the Dominion consider a 'war ship' and is by far the most numerous ship in most fleets. It is much larger then a Corvette and outfitted with better weaponry and shields but is rather slow. It comes in only one class the Manticorn. Frigates are also at times called divisions ships as they can carry a division of Mobile Infantry men to a battle.

Destroyer:

The main stay of the fleet. A larger ship then a frigate it is used to escort larger vessels within the fleet and also serve as a mobile gun platform having huge guns that can bombard either enemy ships or planets. It comes in two classes the Helios (Which has two large beam cannons on it) and the leo (Which is without the beam cannons)

Cruiser:

A smaller and faster battleship in most aspects. It packs the punch of a battleship and is 50% faster but it lacks the armor of a battle ship. They are normally considered shock ships and are used in fast hard hitting raids. Some call them the Mobile Infantry of the fleet. It comes in one class the Triton.

Battle Cruiser:

Still not a full fledged battleship it is like a cruiser but having more armor and carrying heavier weapons (Planet busters, Proton Nukes, and other such devices) it comes in one class the Oceanus.

Battleship:

The pride of the fleet and one of the Dominion's best ships to offer. Packing a massive punch and having the armor to withstand major damage. It comes in two classes the Lynx (More armor less weapons) and the Phoenix (More weapons less armor)

Dreadnought:

A 'super battleship' one that really strikes fear into the hearts of the enemy. It also functions as a carrier (And the only one that can carry the Goliath class landing ship) it comes in one class the Colossus.

Carriers:

They are slightly larger then a battleship they carry the bulk of the fleets fighters, landing ships, fuel, and weaponry some carriers also serve as Medical Ships and Repairing ships. It comes in three classes the Zeus (The Basic carrier with more weaponry then the others but only carrying smaller ships and supplies), the Hermes (A Medical ships with less room for ships and more room for medical bays and medical supplies), and finally the Vulcan (A repairing carrier) Most are in the shape of battleships.

Flagship:

Generally a re-purposed Dreadnought with better armor and weaponry to protect the Admiral and also serve as the most effective fighting ship in the fleet. It comes in one class the Kornos.

Other:

Hades class:

A missile frigate named after the god of death... for well it rains death down upon unsuspecting worlds. They are only used in orbital bombardment.

Pax class:

A super fast frigate used for state sponsored piracy, rapid respond, or used by the Colonial Infantry to quickly support one area and then rush off to the next.

Leto Class:

A communications and scanner ship. Used for scouting, sending messages, and some for jamming radar.
