AQUARIAN PLANETARY NAVAL DEFENSE FORCES The Colony of Aquaria being a water world with 8/10ths of it's surface covered by water naturally developed a strong "wet" Naval as well as Merchant fleet. While most of the ships, personnel & material have went to "Space" with the Colonal Fleet - the Colony of Aquaria still keeps sizeable Naval elements as part of it's Planetary Defense Forces.

<<<SUBMERSIBLE SHIPS>>>LEVIATHAN CLASS MISSILE SUBMERSIBLE (SSM) Immensely large but still quite quick & nimble - they are a holdover from a time when the colonies were actively fighting with each other. The LEVIATHAN CLASS Missile Submersibles carry 32x Starfire Solonite MIRV missiles that could be launched clear of the planet's atmosphere putting them on trajectories to any of the other 12 Colonies that might threaten the home word. They have since been modified to also be able to attack large ship targets such as the Cylon Basestars. The submersibles are unique in that only half their missiles are ready to be launched at one time from 16 verticle launch tubes. The reloads are carried in a special magazine between the launch tubes and the sail. Once fired, the automated process takes about 10 minutes to reload the tubes and can be done while at deep depth and under heavy manuvering. SOP is for the sub to "ripple fire" their missiles in groups of 4 to 8 to avoid presenting too much of a target. KRAKEN CLASS HUNTER-KILLER SUBMERSIBLE (SSA) The main attack submersible of the Aquarian Navy. Though large in size, with it's pulse-hydrogen drive drawing oxygen from the sea for both propulsion, fuel and for breathing by the crew. It is capable of dives to the deepest parts of the Aquarian Oceans and extremely fast at the same time being almost totally silent. It's endurance is limited only by the crew. Since the beggining of the Cylon War it has had no real "waterborn" enemies for it's Seafang torpeodes - however it has used it's other main weapons with good results against the Cylons. The Seadart hyper-cruise Solonite missiles that can be used against ship targets in planetary orbit and the Harpoon KEW missiles that can be used against land, sea and air targets (even as small as a single Cylon Raider) with devestating effect. SEADRAGON CLASS LIGHT ATTACK SUBMERSIBLE (SSLA) The SEADRAGON CLASS was an effort to make a submersible that could operate with the Marine and Naval Commando units should they ever have to operate in close to their own land masses. Having a smaller profile and less mass makes these craft more manuverable in the shallower depths close to land. They are capable of operating all the weapons of the KRAKEN CLASS but they don't have the verticle launch tubes for the Seadart missiles - they have to be launched from the standard torpedo tubes.

<<<AIRCRAFT>>>The KRAIT is the principle Air/Space Fighter craft of the Aquarian Planetary Defense Forces. Operated by both Naval & Land based squadrons on planet - it is also operated from the Space born vessels of the APDF. Though not as capable as the Viper line of fighters the APDF holds on to the craft as it has a decided edge over almost any Cylon fighter from the atmosphere up to the suborbital levels. (For more detailed information go to the COLONIAL AIRWING section in the Warbook)
