Description

Recallin "Aliens" film and its colonial marines, I've thought of what could be the structure of such space fleet?
Actually, space fleet should be smth independent from usual planetary forces, but still it's smth similar to the usual Navy...
So I've came to this:
Military Space Fleet:
* Aerospace forces - ones that acts in case of planetary attack;
* Marines - guys that are needed to capture some strategical point at the planet or starbase, in large numbers;
* Special Forces - guys, who are trained to act in open space, to salvage ship... Elite.

For everything else there must be transporters with land, air, navy - planetary forces. Even if you destroy all the satellites on planet orbit, you will have to deal with billions of people down there, and even 1000 marines won't be able to perform full salvage. You would need regular army to perform large scale combats and comendant/police functions among civils, militia and partisans.

So down there I've tried to image some transporter of this kind - with some weaponry but still it's the bulky cargo ship.

Down there you can see smth that is left when you take off these bulky things )) reminds me of Kuun-Lan (Homeworld:Cataclysm, Shipyards.relicnews.com), Turanic Attack Carrier (Homeworld, Moddb.com), Ion Array Frigate (HW, Moddb.com).
