Carrier class. Transports ten thousand persons from planet to planet.
Crishta Fleet
Led by Captain Drake Risotia, the Crishta fleet consisted of three Aerion Cruisers that intercepted a force headed toward Urrizen during the Battle of Aerion. During the rebuilding of the fleet, Crishta fleet was reorganized and eventually Admiral Drake Risotia commanded a battleship, four cruisers and three warships.
Tasked as the immediate response fleet, the IRF responded to the emergency in the Omergas system...(book three).

Jeeva translated is Sting. The Viol Sting Cruiser is the only known capital ship of the Viol Nations.
Length: 1000 meters
Weapons: Laser cannons
Two Hangars
Crew: Undetermined based on spatial technology
Viol Cloak Fighter
The Viol cloak fighter is the primary Viol fighter of the Viol fleet. Armed with two laser cannons, the Viol ship is capable of cloaking itself during battle. Because of its on power generator to avoid detection through thermal sensors, the cloak fighter is unable to engage while invisible. Crewed by one Frynar, cloak fighter is deployed in a SWARM. Usually the number varies based on the space capacity of the designated Viol cruiser, but deployment can range anywhere from 50 to 150 fighters.
All fighters are networked with each other to prevent pilot-error collisions during flight. Uplinked to the Viol net, the fighters co-ordinate attacks through their base cruiser. Typically, when the base cruiser is destroyed, there is a loss of cohesion until a new cruiser is able to take command of the Cloak Fighter swarm.
Viol Pocket Transport
Viol transport capable of carrying five thousand troops to a planet's surface.
Warship
Light Carrier class. Transports fighter squadrons between systems. Capable of launching two full squadrons.
Shadow Battalion
The Shadow battalion was deployed to the Viol system Omergas. A full battalion with few support elements embedded with them, they landed early in the war with the purpose to scout and spy on the Viol to determine route locations of the Viol fleet. A linking satellite was destroyed early in the mission but they were never compromised. A failed attempt to recover the battalion led to the demise of the crew Delegate.
276 UD, after Aerion and Urrizen were successfully defended, freed up resources for the battalion to be recovered...book 2
