Ziru Sirka Warships
Over the millennia, the Vilani had developed their own distinctive set
of Naval traditions. These included a unique designation system for warships.
As they came into contact (and conflict) with the Terrans it was only natural
that this designation system would be rendered into more familiar terms
for the benefit of Terran naval personnel.
-
Gamilur: This
term was usually translated as 'Attack Cruiser' though the more literal
translation is 'Offensive Patrolship'. This ship type was only used in
the Kuhuggi province (the province facing the Terrans). The type was developed
at the behest of the remarkable
Diikagkarunii (Provincial Governor) Sharik Yangila. These vessels were
designed in emulation of Terran capital ships and featured a large spinal
particle accelerator as their main armarment.
-
Kaiilur: This
term was usually translated as 'Light Cruiser' though the more literal
translation is 'Small Patrolship'.
-
Gadni: This
term is translated as 'Escort'. These vessels were intended as general
purpose patrol ships along the lines of the Terran sloops.
