These are the not-Trek not-Feds- probably the nicest Irregular fleet
overall. The carrier has a wet navy style angled deck with island, a
little
odd but OK. The biggest ship other than the carrier is 63mm long with a
saucer 35mm across.

> Dysonian Fleet - ?
Small ships with flat block hulls with wings of various shapes, plus a
couple of little retro-style scouts.  Larger hull lengths c53mm. I'll
use
most as freighters.

> Delphan Fleet - ?
These have longish hulls with wedge- or pod-shaped bridge at the bow,
engines at the stern and mostly with cropped delta wings.

> Confederation - not Star Trek not Federation ???
Flattish block hulls with front and rear trimmed so it looks a _little_
like
a giant Trek (original) shuttlecraft with small side fins near the bow.
The
largest vessel shares approximate configuration with the Galactica.
Carrier
shares the flight deck with the Imperials.

> Bionaughts Fleets - ?
Bioships- the biggest is a "Lexx", then there's a "skinny Lexx" and a
similarly-sized vessel with short wings and 2 tails, nicer than it
sounds.
The smaller "ships" in this fleet are less good and include what appears
to
be an ammonite, a small ugly dragonfly and what I can only describe as a
tentacled quadruple blob.

Ainsty used to have jpegs of the Confederation, Delphan and Dysonian
fleets
on their site, but they're gone.  I saved them- if anyone wants them,
let me
know-  total size 49kb.
