Dropfleet Commander: Resistance Light Ships

The Resistance employs a huge variety of light tonnage vessels, and many offer unique capabilities not seen in capital ships. Some, such as the Aldrin colony ship, are among the oldest vessels still operating anywhere, proving their endurance. The Newton and Galileo monitors were once lynchpins of orbital defence lines, and they still excel in that role.

Their opposites, the Sagittarii and Baleares cutters, are among the fastest ships available to the Resistance admirals and offer impressive first strike capabilities. Also, being improvised forces, merchantmen inherited by the Resistance are often jerry-rigged to carry swarms of remote-operated fire ships.
