Gorgon Class Battleship
The Gorgon class is the only proper battleship operated by the CIS. The first of her class, PFNS Gorgon of the Polskan Navy launched in the year 251, during Polsks remilitarization program. Not many gorgons are in operation, as they are very expensive and less practical then the CIS' standard battlecruisers. They will still be deployed in the need for sheer firepower in fleet engagements.

Behemoth Class Battlecruiser
The Behemoth Class is the CIS' well rounded, all purpose ship of the line. Having seen service since the early 200's, the Behemoth is one of the oldest spacecraft designs still being used. They can fill a variety of roles, namely fire support, carrier operations, planetary operations, and ship to ship combat. The Behemoth continues to see upgrades to prolong its service to the CIS, with the latest advancement being the Behemoth V class, equipped with a Voidspace Drive. Behemoth classes are also built to be very self sufficient, being able to go years, even decades without stopping to resupply.
Fortitude Class Light Cruiser
The Fortitude Class Light Cruiser, is a small cruiser designed to fill a variety of roles withing the CIS fleet. The Fortitude Class mainly fills an escort role, escorting larger ships. They are equipped with advanced sensor suites, being able to detect cloaked ships, carry out electronic warfare, etc. The Fortitude class does not carry a Yamato Cannon like many CIS Ships do, instead it carries 4 light MAC (Magnetic Accelerator Cannon), which can fire armor pierced sabots in rapid succession. The Fortitude class also carries a variety of missiles. They normally operate in fleets, but can be found patrolling the vast swaths of empty space controlled by the CIS or Yatan-Theian Accord.
