Ship Class Designations

Hephaestus Industries uses specific naming conventions for all ships based on their block size, role, and class in addition to a revision and unit number. While early ships will most likely be referred to by their class designations, the naming of individual units is at the discretion of each ship's captain.

Naming Rules

To determine the correct name of your ship, use the following template:

HPI-<Block Size Letter><Classification Letter><Class Letters>-<Model Number><Revision Number> <Designation Name> <Ship Number>

Let's look at our Cerberus-class heavy fighter as an example. As always, we start with our faction callsign followed by a dash:

HPI-

The Cerberus class heavy fighter is a small ship, which we use an "S" to designate:

HPI-S

Since we're dealing with a military craft, we follow with an "M". You can determine the classification and class of a ship by reading the descriptions in the Classification and Class Designations table above:

HPI-SM

It's a fighter craft, so we'll use the "FI" to signify this:

HPI-SMFI-

Next, we add on the model number:

HPI-SMFI-20

Following that, we include the revision that the ship was created under. Note that it's possible for multiple Cerberus-class fighters to be in operation with different classes, but we'll still consider them to have the same designation:

HPI-SMFI-2002

Next, we'll add a space and the class designation name for east identification:

HPI-SMFI-2002 Cerberus

Finally, we'll add a ship number, which allows multiple ships to exist with the same designation while maintaining unique identities for each:

HPI-SMFI-2002 Cerberus 01
