Dominion Spacecraft Classes

Purpose
The Dominion field a unique variety of spacecraft. Despite the increased ease of multi-role units due to the flexibility afforded by field transmutation, picoscale engineering and AI oversight, the Dominion still has reason to at least field vaguely distinct classes of vessel- even if they are all equally capable.

Generally speaking larger spacecraft possess greater firepower, durability, force-projection, strategic mobility and production capability but have inferior maneuoverability, a larger target profile, higher upkeep cost and a greater energy and complexity cost that compounds wastage by manufacturing inefficiency. Overall the Dominion prefer smaller spacecraft classes because of their superior economic efficiency and superior surviveability in most situations.
