The Cerosan Navy, like the Army, is both relatively small as well as as highly trained. It is a total of 800 starships, and each ship, regardless of size, is capable of carrying a maximum of 200 Marines, meaning 160,000 Marines total. The 800 ships are divided up into twenty fleets of forty ships.

CFNS Rosemary (Battleship class)
The CFNS (Cerosan Federal Navy Ship) Rosemary is the flagship of the Navy. As she is a battleship, she boasts an alarming supply of conventional ordinance, such as MAC cannons, photon torpedoes, and no fewer than 25 point laser systems, as well as 200 Cerosan Marines for quick reaction to conflict, and 80 SF-15 Raven fighter-bombers. In a very recent addition to the already impressive arsenal of the Rosemary-class, the ships in the Navy have been outfitted with large proton cannons.
The Rosemary-class battleships are the most powerful ships in Cerosa's Navy. One Rosemary-class ship is at the head of each fleet of 40 ships.
The original designs for the Rosemary-class ships were decommissioned in 2109, as they were aging, and replaced with a new design while keeping the same name, though officially referred to as the Rosemary II-class on paper, they are still simply called Rosemary-class by the Navy.

Gennett-class Cruisers
The Gennett-class cruiser is smaller than a battleship, but can be just as lethal. The cruiser makes up one-fourth of a whole fleet. In 2109, the Gennett-class, named for the founder of Cerosa, Paul Gennett, Sr., were introduced.
Liberty-class Frigates
The second-smallest class of ship in the Cerosan Navy, the frigate has a balanced speed-to-firepower ratio. In 2109, the Dante-class frigate was replaced by the Liberty-class.
Radiant-class Destroyers
The destroyers are the smallest warships in the Navy, and make half of an entire fleet. Faster than frigates, they can speed through enemy lines and bombard them. They normally travel in "packs" of six. The newest design, as of 2109, is the Radiant-class.
CNS Juliana
The CNS Juliana is a prototype, dual-purpose stealth ship. It has two roles at any one time: To either be the transport for the First Cerosan Special Forces Squadron when a mission takes them beyond Earth, OR to be the personal transport for the First Family when they are on trips, or, in the worst case, in dire emergencies. The Juliana has no weapons, and relies on its stealth capabilities. The ship has an IES (Internal Emissions Sink) system that "stores" the heat generated by the craft's engines deep inside the hull. When the Juliana is in danger of being detected visually, the ship can utilize an active cloaking system, rendering it invisible for as long as is needed. The Juliana can hold approximately 35 people, not including the crew, which number around 20 or so.
VC-26 Olympus Utility/Troop Transport
The VC-26 Olympus is a tilt-rotor aircraft issued to the Marine Corps. It is capable of carrying one hundred Marines, plus their supplies. As of 2100, the Army also uses the VC-26 for it's missions.
VC-27 Hades Heavy Transport
The VC-27 Hades is a larger version of the VC-26 Olympus, and it can carry up to four Komodo tanks at a time.
SF-24 "Firelancer" Starfighter
Originally meant to enter service in 2114, production for the SF-24 Firelancer was sped up in 2112, allowing it to be released in November of that year. The Firelancer is the pinnacle of Cerosan vehicular technology: Advanced radar, limited stealth capability, and a top speed of Mach 19, combined with increased maneuverability, acceleration, and durability as well as an increased payload make the Firelancer far superior in every respect to the SF-15 Raven. Though the Firelancer is not going to see full frontline service for a few more years, it can and will be used by the most elite squadrons in the Cerosan Navy.
SF-15 "Raven" Starfighter
This is the main interstellar fighter-bomber in use in the Cerosan Navy. It carries a payload of 28 plasma bombs, 35 photon torpedoes, and two pinpoint composite laser systems, all in the internal weapons bay of the Raven. The SF-15 is capable of reaching Mach 15. There is one very special trait about the Raven's engine: Since the craft is built around the engine, it is theoretically possible for any jet aircraft to be recreated with the Raven engine, thus giving said jet aircraft the exact same capabilities as an actual SF-15.
PB-07 "Planet Buster" WMD
The PB-07 is the first Cerosan super weapon. It was comissioned in April 2079. It carries a 500-nuclear megaton payload. Each ship in the Navy (with the exception of the Juliana) has one PB-07 that can be dropped from orbit. The PB-07 speeds to it's intended target at Mach 45, and uses it's speed to burrow into the target planet's core, where it detonates, causing fissures and ruptures that rip the target planet apart in minutes. Thankfully, the PB-07 has never been used. A space-based variant that acts similar to a space mine, the PB-07S, was developed in 2105. The PB-07 was decommissioned in 2112, however the PB-07S still remains in service.
