The Aquarian Alliance 

  A Starfleet Wars Conversion to Full Thrust (Fleet Book)
 
 
Background
The Aquarians rely on their defensive shielding since their ships have fewer power-laser turrets. Their ships offer more crew comfort than the other powers resulting in less combat fatigue. The Aquarians prefer to stand off at long range and engage in hit-and-run operations. With their few ships they can ill afford losses of any kind. The development of an invisibility screen has made these tactics that much more successful. 
 
Design Philosophy (Defensive, long range sniping)
Average hulls, very good screens, all ships have at least Level 1, no armor, good beam batteries. No heavy weapon but they do have a cloak. (10%mass, cost is x10 mass used. When cloak is active, enemy knows there is a ship there but can not identify size or type, fire from a cloaked ship treats beam batteries as 1 class smaller, fire at a cloaked ship doubles effective range). Some fighters, fewer PDS coverage, average/low thrust. Aquarian ships have the most crew comfort of any ships, indicated by the extra spaces for the crew.
