In my rather odd description of this novel, the sharp eyed among you must have noticed it said a imperial ship, that was no mistake or anything, no instead that is the rank of the ship and it's identification code. It's like this, Imperial is the second highest rank ship and for a good reason but let me tell you.

Rank10=AKA, Crawlers, these ships are the lowest class, they are just automated haulers of the lowest cost supply's, but they can still cost an arm, if they aren't damaged.

Rank9=AKA, Miners, These are the suppliers for the crawlers most of the time, for whatever they need, as the name suggest these are mining ships, they haul raw ore and mine it from wherever they can make the most money.

Rank8=AKA, Jungles, This one is a bit odd, they are charity ran and barely ever become scrap, because they are basically mobile jungles, they produce oxygen in abundance and supply what ever ship that ever need some beautiful fresh oxygen.

Rank7=AKA, Smelters, This class of ships melts the ore from the Miners and then hand it off to the Cargo Lights.

Rank6=AKA, Cargo Lights, This is a fast ass hauler, they take whatever's given to them to ship and get their in days, that's priority shipping.

Rank5=AKA,Ground Approach, They can either be their own ship or be escape pods,They are incredibly light and durable ships are made with one purpose in mind, to get to ground as fast as you can, no matter the obstacles they will always get you to the ground safely and because of that they are incredibly expensive to make and even more expensive to buy.

Rank4=AKA,War Bird,These grace full ships were built with destructive intent. They fly in space, in atmosphere, with no trouble at all. Modeled a little like the North american P51, they have a propeller in front,a hydrogen rocket engine in the tail, a sleek wingspan and a grace full hull.

Rank3=AKA, Cruisers, They are always owned by either private military or government, citizens aren't allowed nor qualified to own these Huge pieces of pure destructive power. They will bring down even the Ground Approach, but they cant take take out the Imperial nor the Ticking End.

Rank2=AKA,Imperial, This ship will dance through the battle field of Cruisers as if they were just Crawlers with cannons strapped to their side. These ships were made with one thing in mind, To never fall, to never be destroyed, to never be seen, to never submit, even the robots one successful ship in the uprising has trouble against it. No one has seen a Imperial since the uprising.

Rank1=AKA,Ticking End, as the robots named it, they're one success and only Robot ship left, It's rumored that one still exits somewhere in the stars, waiting for it's owner to return. Humans never were able to recreate it. Any A.I. that knew about it committed something akin to suicide for them, they wiped they're entire mind erasing even a faint hint of it.
