Now all Dark had to do was wait for the trade ships to sell what they had he was not worried since the clones he sent were specifically made to do trade as for where they came from Red had already realized he would need to trade so she had already made some clones to do so showing that having an AI like Red is useful even for Dark who seem to have forgotten that he would need people experienced in trade to leader the trade fleet but now it's not a problem so he can focus on other things like the arrangement of what ships to put in what fleet.
First would be his own fleet wanting to use the normal Borg Cube design which was a cruiser class rather than a carrier like his personal one these will make up the cruisers of his fleet having 5 of them for the destroyers he had gone against his earlier decision of not using any more Borg ships he had a Borg Assimilator class ship designed while he will have 10 in his fleet for the frigate ships he uses a design that was new from the desighners that was a complete original being long length wise but with not being very long it looks similar to the old dreadnought used by the rebels but more modern and built to last although much smaller due to it being a frigate Dark had 15 of these in his fleet now for the Corvette of the fleet Dark new he should not buy he still choose to use the borg interceptor design having a total of 20 however despite the ships looking like borg ships the interior of them does not since its for actual people instead of Borg drones.
As for Victor he seems to like the designs of the Klingon empire since all the ship designs look like them just that not a single ship has the cloaking device since Victor refused to have them added stating that he wants to fight head on not in the shadows it's understandable coming from him as a battle junkie he likes to fight head on so not having a cloaking device makes sense however due to this the space that the device would have been was used to add more weapons making his ships more assault heavy but Dark knows that the first chance Victor gets he is goging to be the first to enter a space battle nothing Dark can say or do to change that.
Now for Alice also did the same as Victor but instead of using designs from the kiligons she went with designs from Starfleet which was a surprise since most of those ships are not combat orientated but more for exploration but he still let her talk with the desighners to design the ships how she wanted them to be and just like her command ship the majority of the focus more on support of Dark had not told her to have some that focused on combat her entire fleet may have been support based so her cruisers became her combat orientated ship while the rest offered various support and example would be the figates they had some weapons but had a ton of anti fighter weapons making any ship surrounded by them a death trap for any enemy fighters the destroyers had weapons that focuss on hull damage while corvettes have weapons focusing on shield damage her fleet is literally a nightmare being able to destroy both shields and armour while also being hell for fighters not to mention on the only design she made for attack was also a monster she put every weapon she could on them while still maintaining a decent shields capacity even Dark looking at this fleet thought someone has stolen alices prize possession and she was out for blood which was a stark difference from her usuall bubbly self.
Jess fleet used unsc designs since that's what she wanted although afew changes where made to acomidate shields and better weapons but the ships still looked exactly like the ships used by the unsc well apart from the colour she did not like the rather dull grey and dark green and went with a teal colour her ships were rather decent neither attack or defence orientated but more focused on speed making her ships perfect for hit and run operations which was also slightly scary and Dark had no idea why the women of his team had chosen such designs which do not fit there usual attitudes but at least Jess was not as bad as Alice.
Phillip against all expectations actually chose to use covenant designs saying that they were perfect for planet invasion since they were made to have a large troop force obviously he made changes like chging the colour from purple to red he also changed the interior to suit a more human occupation while putting in all the latest tech we had surprisingly he also put the cloaking device in all his ship designs made sense so he could stealthily invade planets uninterrupted his ships also had less weapons than the rest instead having more troop capacity and shields making it a resilient troop transport fleet that can still shoot back if need be.
Now for Lucy she chose to use unique designs that she made herself these ships had more focus on getting into a system scan then leave before sending the info to command to acomidate this she made the ships have barely any weapons while having more engines and shields she also had a large compliment of hangers in her ships to acomidate the the decrease in weapons on the ships of course she specifically designed her own fighters and the only thing Dark could think was he should never make Lucy angry her fighters are armed to the teeth and having as many as she can fit in the hangers of her ships is mind numbing one of these fighters can massacre more than 20 of the ones he and the others are using.
The only issue with these fleets is that due to officeee available all the fleets are limited to only having 50 ships each while also acomidating for the fighter pilots for all of them this will change in the future with the cloning centers on the orbital ring but for now it will have to do but Dark also learnt that the women of his team can be very vicious when they want to be evident from some of the ship designs they made but with these fleets they have away to defend themselves as nfor resources with the trade ship going back and forth and all the mining they have a steady supply it just the personal constraints now but nothing he can do clones take time to grow and train.
Also during this time Dark was able to understand a few of the basic laws taking him one step closer to the universal law of the force but as it turns out he was fast than was originally anticipated losing his time need to access the force from 10 years to 8 instead which in his opinion it better since the sooner he gets it the sooner he can train with it but that's for the future he has to make his way there slowly rushing could both cause damage to him but also his realm.
