Blake's 7 Federation.

If you've never heard of it, British science fiction series
from the late 70s. Laughable special effects by standards
of today (or even then in some cases) but mostly good plots
and characters.

Lots of fairly small ships by most show standards (more than
six hundred according to one episode), emphasising firepower
first, reasonable speed, not much protection. A discussion
we had on the list late last year suggested that for FT they
would be big destroyer to cruiser sized, armed with either
Phalon plasma bolts or human P-torps.

And if you've got Star Trek Federation in the IDEA as well,
your opponents are in for a severe shock when they find
that *this* Federation takes a "shoot first, hail later"
approach to potential opponents.

	cheers,
