Description
シャー･アッバス Shah-AbasStandard Free Planets Alliance Battleship during Space Year 750, specifically during the second battle of Tiamat as part of the 5th fleet. This was the ship that Alexander Beucock, future Cheif of Staff in the FPA starfleet, served aboard when he was age 19. It is a representative of the older Free Planets Alliance warships.
献呈 Dedication
Standard Free Planets Alliance Battleship during Space Year 796. She is an example of the Standard Battleship of the FPA fleet during that time. Dedication was one of the survivors of the 4th fleet, having suffered engine trouble and lagged back before the fleet was obliterated by Reinhard von Loengramm's own forces. She was transferred to the 13th fleet under Yang Wen-Li, and then disobeyed orders during the treaty of Balarat and fled into deep space. She eventually joined forces with the Sherwood fleet, and then the El-Facil revolutionary forces. To every man and woman, the crew elected to remain behind in Islerohn after Yang's death. She remained with what was left of the Free Planets Alliance forces when they transferred to Heinessen, remaining in service as de-facto flagship of the reformed 7th fleet.

Too bad we can't see the 640s-era FPA ship which was used to first repel the Imperials. Very nice designs.

Those ships look remarkably similar to the modern FPA battleships though.

Always wondered how the people of Heinessen managed, though. Even taking into account that Heinessen was likely ecologically as perfect as they could want and rich in ressources, we're still talking 160,000 people. And they had between 527 and 640 to build up.
And yet they managed to field a large enough fleet to repulse the Imperial Fleet. I mean, Lin Pao and Yusuf Topalour were geniuses faced with a man given the command because he's a noble, but... you'd still need to build up your population, your factories, build shipyards...
Its a mystery. Unless they used cloning back then.

One explanation could be that the Imperial fleet was THAT incompetent and complacent. You had generals with huge brass awards yet without the experience of a veteran soldier. Their accolades were purely academic with no real achievement outside of minor skirmishes between noble families, and maybe the occasional pirate conflict.
On the other hand, the Free Planets Alliance was really a frontier nation based on democratic principles. They had to carve out their own living on uncultivated land. They also had a highly motivated population to establish their own national identity away from the empire.
So you have a talented, driven force against a complacent, inexperienced (and likely incompetent) adversary when both fleets clashed at the beginning. This allows lesser numbers to outmaneuver the bloated ones.

There was a written account of the Battle of Dagon Starzone in 640. I think they likely say how many ships there were on each side.
Of course, its in Japanese... O_o

There is one step between these, the Santa-Isabel, but I didn't have space to represent it.
