 ====== Ship Classes ======
-====== Ship Makes ======
+The [[Abrixine Catalog Index|ACI]] describes numerous "standardized" ship
+classes which are opportunistically used by most manufacturers. These classes
+are as follows, in order of ascending size.
+===== Small Ships =====
+Small ship is the designation given to any spaceworthy vessel that is under 50m x 50m x 50m in any dimension.
+===== Medium Ships =====
+Medium ship is the designation given to any spaceworthy vessel that is under 100m x 100m x 100m in any dimension.
-===== GHC and GSC =====
+===== Large Ships =====
-===== Enid's Triad =====
+Small ship is the designation given to any spaceworthy vessel that is over 100m x 100m x 100m in any dimension and smaller than the megaship threshold of 1000m x 1000m x 1000m.
-===== NanoTrasen =====
+===== Megaships =====
-===== Six Stars =====
+A Megaship is a designation reserved for any mobile vessel over 1km in any dimension but below the titancraft threshold of 40km. Immobile vessels of this size are typically called stations or mega-installations.
-===== KOS-MOS Dynamic Frames =====
+===== Titancraft =====
-===== Aurora Shipyards =====
+Titancraft is the designation for any mobile vessel over 40km in any dimension. Immobile vessels of this size are typically called greatstations or great installations
-===== Ibis Stellar Transport =====
+===== Larger Structures =====
-===== HINT Haulers =====
+The [[Abrixine Catalog Index|ACI]] acknowledges the possibility of the construction of larger void structures, however no such technology has been developed by any major power and therefore they have refrained from issuing a standardization for such size classes.
+However, a technical note delivered by ACI committee tentatively describes these larger constructions as "gigastructural constructs" and posit they would need to span over two thousand kilometers in a single dimension to qualify for such a distinction.
