   Ships and weapons   
   Navy - interstellar travel based on antimatter powered tugs, that transport   
   the warships, cargo modules etc. So the ship is just a drive + truss structure   
   + line that connects it to cargo, and cargo module is modular. Warships that   
   hang on it are fusion    
   powered, for now my main concept is a multirole Sulaco-like craft, that can   
   ship troops from parking orbit of tug to orbit of attacked planet, and also   
   have capability to perform orbital bombardments and fight enemy ships. Weapons   
   - KE anti ship missiles,   
    missiles with kinetic and nuclear warheds for bombing planets, coilguns, and   
   lasers for point defense. I would also like PBWs to be somewhere in the   
   setting, but I don't know how viable they are. Any thoughts?   
   Colonial Marines - light vehicles, designed to fit into cargo bays of   
   spaceships and shuttles, light tanks, armored cars and mine resistant APCs.
