| Greetings Confederation Members,
I am proposing a new contest for any member to submit their ideas! This was a cool contest back in Brood War where members submitted names, descriptions, and a little "history" for each ship. I'm hoping this will help to make people feel more attached to their ship as well as just provide a cool, creative project.
Quote EXAMPLE LORE A) This ship was discovered in the Delta Sector, thousands of light years from The Confederation's deep space station. Crews were able to retrieve this vessel and discovered unbelievable technology that was light years ahead of anything the Protoss had developed. We are currently in the process of installing Confederation databases and controls so that we can yield the power of this vessel. It is stationed at a classified starbase in the Sol System.
B ) This is the flagship of The Confederation. One of the strongest Terran ships, we have retrofitted this ship to withstand relentless attack from Zerg squads. Additionally, the weapon systems as well as engines have been upgraded to today's specifications. It can travel hundreds of light years within mere hours, compared to weeks. This vessel will represent The Confederation in diplomatic missions as well as be the lead ship in any engagements with the enemy.
C) This Protoss vessel was given to The Confederation as an additional line of defense to the Zerg. While our alliance with the Protoss is always on hot water, we are grateful for the assistance and added benefit of this vessel. Its complete capabilities are still unknown to us, but we have discovered that stealth and speed are its specialties. Furthermore, engineers have discovered regenerative hull armor, for added protection.
D) This ship is a strictly war ready vessel. Complete with every kind of weapon available in our society and provides no comforts of home. Its speed and fire power make it a deadly weapon in battle against any enemy of The Confederation. When needed, it can turn into a stealth ship capable of spying on enemies as well as infiltrating their space. While the insides may not be too pretty, she packs a punch.
Your post should include-
Name: CFS-__________ Which Ship Picture: (A,B,C,D) Class of Ship: Weapons: Defenses: Create a Story / Lore:
There are some example story / lore that I created above, if you need a creative boost.
Winners will be picked by a combination of JCOS/HC as well as the clan voting. I look forward to reading some responses!

| Name: CFS-BALBOA Class: of Ship: Fighting Falcon Weapons: 1)M134 Minigun 2)Cosminc Rust v1 3)Bunker Buster Bomb (Disney Bomb) 4)B57 Nuclear Bomb
History: The CFS-Balboa was designed by the Terran to tank any bullets, bombs, and even lasers. Heavily equipped with deadly miniguns, bombs, and a laser Comsic Rust gun, the Balboa was ready for action anywhere, anytime.After 17 years in the making the Terran finally got this ship off the ground into the battle. There was one problem. The ships armour prevented its ability to move causing the ship not to get to the front lines to take the hits. After the first battle the Balboa was in, it was retired. The Terran hid it somewhere that was never to be found. Many years later, Terran needed a tanky aircraft, but They didn't have 15 years to make one. They recovered the Balboa, and within two years they had a new engine into the massive vessel: Progress D-18T. Alongg with the new engine, the Engineers also equipped several JATOs (Jet assisted take-off). The new battle ship can now get troops, supplies, and any cargo across battle fields and planets. It also Packs one Hell of a Punch.
Life isn't about winning the race... It is about finishing the race, and how many people we can help finish the race.

| Name: CFS-Complexity Class of Ship: Medical Warship Weapons: 500KW Laser Weapons System (161KM Effective Range) Defenses: Shield Battery Salvaged from Protoss Wreckage
Create a Story / Lore:
Originally being built as a full Class Medical Ship to be permanently stationed deep in space, the CFS-Complexity had to be converted into a Warship during it's final year of construction. Thanks to Protoss intelligence The Confederation knew the Zerg would assault planet Earth. It's powerful Laser Weapons System was added on to CFS-Complexity to serve as it's main offensive weapons. Additionally a Shield Battery salvaged from a crashed Protoss Carrier on one of earths moons was able to be converted to serve as the Ships main means of defense from attack. She may not have originally been built for war, but she'll serve us well on the battlefield.
Hope you guys like

| CFS-Endure Behemoth class Weapons: - ATA/ATS laser battery - Yamato Cannon - Nuclear missiles - Warp Rail Gun Defenses: - Double Neosteel Armor - Twin energy shield
Constructed in 2498, shortly before major conflicts of Antiga Prime and Tarsonis, this Behemoth class battleship is one to be reckoned with. Reinforced to combat Wraiths, this ship boosted double neosteel armor, twin energy shields and the ability to warp drive from planetary atmospheres. Retro fitted with an experimental warp rail gun, it could theoretically hit ships after warping. The Endure would quickly make a name for itself while engaging 3 Battle cruisers during the Antiga Prime revolt. Raynor himself would later write that, " The men of CFS-Endure's loyalty and commitment are only surpassed by their courage in battle." Endure's might and offensive prowess would continue through the Great War and beyond.
