- Korri-class
A class of Cizerack battlecruiser, equivalent in size and speed to the Victory class Star Destroyer, though somewhat less in firepower. The Pride Navy's ship of the line. Deep space survivable, long-ranged, hyperdrive-capable, and designed for extended duty outside of the Cluster. Primarily tasked with enforcing trade lane security on the Hydian Way and transporting important cargo, it is also a capable warship, able to engage enemies up to and including Star Destroyer class ships. Offensive firepower is poised around two gorroka particle cannons, two dozen turbolasers, as well as many tractor beam emitters, and an excellent shield generator. It also has the ability to dispatch up to a division of Hunter Forces shock troops via space combat or surface attack.

Primarily used for intra-cluster defense, this light capital ship is equipped with a relatively fast sublight drive, good anti-starfighter weapons, and enough heavy weapons to effectively harass capital ships. Often used to attack in force, thus making them a flexible deterrent.
- Seeva'fei (Seeva II) class
A variation on the original Seeva design that trades some sublight capability for a long range hyperdrive and deep space capability. Designed to picket Korri Galleons and other larger capital ships.
