The Jonians are a group of rebels, who are determined to bring Mikrelia to its knees. To do this, of course, requires starships. So, the Jonians took to the scrapyards to salvage parts of old Mikrelian ships and made their Iconic Heavy Fighter. It, for being a literal scrap ship is surprisingly solid and boasts a large array of lasers and ebolts Their dedication is impressive. They have built fleets, from scrap designs. Eventually, their minor successes built up, and Mikrelian morale was at an all time low. The Jonians captured an important mining planet and built their dry docks there. There, they were able to create larger and larger ships.

The Jonian Heavy Fighter was easily the most common ship in the Jonian fleet, prior the capture of Theta Tau IV, a critical iron and brass mining world. Iron and brass are used to create materials such as Ultra-Steel-a material used to make starship hulls-, Hyper Fuel-more commonly known as FTL Fuel-, and Manhattium, an explosive material commonly used in cannon shells and rockets that are used in starships. The Heavy fighter uses the former two and is commonly found carrying the third. It has an extensive laser and ebolt array.

The Jonian Small Fighter was the first ship to come fresh out of Jonian dry docks. WIth a slightly small layout of weapons, the small fighter more than makes up for its lack of firepower with its maneuverability It can easily get behind a Suomi-Class Scout and then destroy it in rapid succession.

In many ways a much more effective craft than both of the fighters, the Jonian needed bombing capability, so they made it. The first Jonian starship to use Ultra-Steel, Hyper-Fuel, and Manhattium, all in one ship, it was a landmark achievement. It is the Jonian Bomber.

The Jonian Battleship is truly a force to be reckoned with. Employing 6 standard cannons, 8 lasers, and 4 amplified ebolts (they're vanilla, I just had to make the heat sink fit with the lore), the Battleship is feard by even the best captains. The decades of battle have taken their toll, however, and the heat sinks, weapons, and engines have tarnished and scarred the hull beyond repair (I just felt like adding more detail than normal).

At a little under 4x more expensive than the Battleship, the Jonian cruiser uses several types of weaponry and has more weapons than any other Jonian ship. Using Large Cannons, Standard Cannons, Lasers, and brand new missiles, the Cruiser can take out almost every ship that could be thrown at it in a one on one confrontation, probably including the Daybreak Mikrelian Heavy Cruiser. However, it never flies alone. It is constantly escorted by an impressive complement of fighters, battleships, and bombers.
