Manchurian Space Forces OrBat By Robert Montgomery Manchurian Star Navy Manchuria is one of the great world powers on Earth. She has a sizable space navy, but being a Tantalum poor power most of her ships are slow. Prior to and after the Central Asian War the Chinese Arm had major problems with pirates and the MSN was incapable of dealing with them effectively, until recent years. In the Central Asian War she was pitted against France, Russia, and Japan. The war was going Manchuria's way on Earth, until the Japanese entered the war, but in space it was another story. The Manchurian Star Navy was forced into an interstellar guerrilla war, she could not fight the allies in a stand up battle as her ships were older designs and were clearly out-matched. By the end of the war the allies had captured or destroyed 1 Chein Lung DD, 4 Tunghu FF, and 6 Punyuang fighters. The French at one point succeeded in interdicting the entire Chinese arm, by seizing a couple of systems. Manchuria made a few daring raids, but they were more of an annoyance than a threat. In the wake of the Central Asian War, Manchuria was faced with the poor shape of her Star Navy and began to design a number of new ships to replace the Chein Lung and Tunghu's who were clearly past their prime. The first ship to enter service following the CAW was the Shih Huang-ti or Emperor Class Heavy Cruiser; these ships introduced in 2290, are a wonderful addition to the MSN and have allowed the formation of 4 battlegroups centered on them. The second of the new ships were the Bejiang or City Class Destroyer also introduced in 2290, designed as a fast escort for the new Shih Huang-ti Heavy Cruisers, the Bejiangs were later transferred in total to the Ch’Ing BC Group. The third new ship to enter service was the Xinjiang or Province Class Destroyer, these ships introduced in 2293 are designed to replace the Chein Lung class DD, this ship is very good and on a ton for ton basis it is equal to any ship. Just as seemed Manchuria was forming a fleet worthy of a great power the Kafers hit the French arm with a vengeance. Manchuria refused to send ships to aid the French, the sting from the CAW was too recent. Manchuria kept a close watch on the war and almost sent ships when it appeared the Kafers would break though at Beowulf and assault Earth, but when the Kafer fleet was stopped, Manchuria along with the rest of Humanity let out a sigh of relief. Determined not to enter a conflict out-matched again, the MSN studied every battle report and recording they could lay their hands on. The result was two new ships the Ch'ing Dynasty class BC and the Lungchen class FF, along with an upgrade for the Tunghu PF, the venerable Punyuang fighter, the Fantan, and Glowworm missiles. Manchuria is currently in a world court battle with America over some of the weapons used by their Star Navy, they are identical in every way to the American produced weapons, EA-1000 and the Big Clip submuntion. This has prompted other countries to reevaluate the Manchurian weapons and Germany is considering legal action as well, over the LHH-637 submunition. Manchuria has stepped up her efforts to mine the small Tantalum discovery on Chengdu. This deposit while small compared to most star faring nations, it will result in a 20% increase in Manchuria's Tantalum. The Manchurian Star Navy is divided into Fleets and Planetary Defense Squadrons.

Ch'ing Dynasty class Battlecruiser The Ch'ing Dynasty was designed in the wake of the 1st Kafer War, the level of warfare and the destruction that followed shocked Manchuria. The Ch'ing Dynasty was designed with the Kafers in mind, but this doesn't mean Human forces were ignored. She is the 1st Manchurian ship to have a fusion power plant and it uses a new Stutterwarp design, to increase speed. She also has an advanced hull masking system. To date (2304) the Ch'ing Dynasty is the only ship of this class, the Hsia Dynasty has been laid down, but Manchuria suffers from a severe Tantalum shortage and was forced to purchase the Tantalum from Australia at an outrageous price, it doubled the cost of the Stutterwarp drive. The Ch'ing forms the core of the 1st fleet, its purpose is to move quickly up the Chinese arm in the event of a conflict and reinforce the nearest Fleet or Squadron. Because it will form the nucleus of the MSN in any conflicts it has extensive flag facilities. Design Date: 2301 Laid Down: 2302 Launched: 2304

This ship was designed in the wake of the Central Asian War and represents the finest of Manchurian naval design of that period. These ships use Chein Lung hulls as they are retired, the hull is stripped, refurbished, and up armoured, then the new Emperor components are installed, this lowers the cost of these ships by two counts the hull is very inexpensive and the Tantalum from the Chein Lung is recycled for the next Emperor. For every Emperor laid down one Chein Lung is retired.

The Chein Lung class DD has long been the heavy punch of the MSN, which doesn't say much, this ship will be relegated to convoy escort and anti-piracy duties as the Xinjiang class relieves it from fleet duty. This ship is going to be retired over next decade or so, and an Emperor Heavy Cruiser and Xinyang Destroyer will replace each one retired. (Writers notes: In order to accurately design these ships I had to reverse engineer the known Manchurian ships, and they don't jive. In order for the reflected signatures and profiles to work the hull of the Chein lung had to be made of L.P. Synthetic and have a volume of 17098 cubic meters, but this increased the weight of the ship to 14915 tons, about 4000 tons overweight, which almost the weight of the hull. If I make the ship 10932 tons as is stated in the Star Cruiser rules, all the stats are dead on to the original rules, but there are no hull materials that will match that weight and reflective properties, so the ship now weighs more.)

The next ships to be launched will be the Hebei (2305), Shanxi (2306), and Nei Menggu (2307). This ship was designed to replace the Chein Lung class in the wake of the Central Asian War. The Xinjiang is a well-rounded ship with good endurance, the perfect ship for the long duration missions that the Chinese arm demands. The Xinjiang uses an efficient duel power plant design that uses the 15mw fission PP when traveling, when the ship enters combat it starts the 15mw MHD to provide power to the lasers. This also provides redundancy in case of PP failure. The ship carries 120 hours of fuel for the MHD.

The next ships to be launched will be the Fushan (2307), Qiqihar (2310), Yumen, Baotou, and the Taiyuan. This ship was initially designed to escort the Shih Huang-ti class Heavy Cruisers, but since the launching of the Ch’ing class Battlecruiser they have been transferred to act as escorts for the Battlecruiser. The Bejiang Class Destroyer is the only ship in MSN service that has the speed to escort the Ch’Ing BC.

The Lungchen was designed to take the place of the Tunghu as the patrol ship of the Chinese arm, it is a well-rounded ship with good endurance, and the perfect ship for the long duration's that the Chinese arm missions demands. The Lunchen will be the primary Space Lanes of Commerce patrol ship for the MSN. She is required to have enough firepower to take on heavily armed pirates, long endurance, and will likely be the first ship at the seen of any trouble along the Chinese arm.

Weighing in at only 2000 tons it was never really frigate caliber and was often forced to group into squadrons in order to overwhelm pirates. This ship has a number of problems, such as if the active sensors are used they draw so much power that the ship is rendered immobile and unable to shoot, if the ship shoots its laser its speed slows to 1.27 warp (3 movement). To date 22 Tunghu's have been built, with 12 still in service with MSN, they are the Anshan, Fushan, Changchun, Qingdao, Dandong, Siping, Maoming, Yibin, Shaoguan, Xiaguan, Nanchong, and the Heilong. These ships will supplement the Punyuangs in the colonial defense role. The fighters have long made it difficult for anyone to enter their zone of control (within 6 hours of the planet), but this left the outer regions open for interdiction or pirate activities. With Tunghu's acting as short range carriers, hauling out a squadron and acting as their fire support as well as tanker. This will make Manchuria's colonies more secure from predication than they have ever been. (Writers notes: In order to accurately design these ships I had to reverse engineer the known Manchurian ships, and they don't jive. In order for the reflected signatures and profiles to work the hull of the Tunghu had to be made of Synthetic and have a volume of 2911 cubic meters, but this increased the weight of the ship to 2110 tons, about 600 tons overweight.

The biggest advantage of upgrading missiles are, all existing ships can use newer missiles, and it is far more inexpensive to upgrade and existing missile than design and build completely new missiles. Due to the lack of Tantalum, new missiles are rebuilt from old missiles, unfortunately this has slowed production, but the fleet still converts 50-75 a year. Furthermore because Manchuria lacks the Tantalum reserves of the larger space powers, she has designed her new missiles to make use of submuntions, this allows the Manchurians to collect the missiles after a battle and reuse them, the only downside is that it requires controlling the system and the missiles require a complete overhaul to refurbish, but at least the Tantalum is not lost. The MSN has 182 Fantan's and 164 Glowworm's in service. They expended 59 missiles in the Central Asian War. Because of the Tantalum shortage, Manchuria has a full load on board each ship and 23 additional missiles for replacements. These are all with the 1st Fleet. A special version of the Chein Tsu (Stalhammer) has been designed as a mobile missile repair/conversion depot.
