The shift of Gallente naval doctrine from over-reliance on drones to an acceptance of the reality that heavy guns mounted on well-protected platforms are a key element in winning fleet actions in space is dramatically illustrated by the changing role of the venerable Moros-class dreadnought. Once a vessel that was essentially a super-heavy drone carrier, the Moros-class has fallen into line with other dreadnoughts as a formidable capital gun platform. The Moros Navy Issue variant has been upgraded with heavy armor and repair systems meaning it can sustain tremendous punishment while its upgraded weapons systems deal out destruction on those targets pinned by its enhanced warp disruptors.

Versatility in fleet ship designs has long been a watchword of Minmatar naval doctrine, and the Naglfar Fleet Issue continues that tradition by building on the strengths of the already highly-adaptable base Naglfar-class. Across the board upgrades to defenses, improved repair systems, and enhanced projectile weapon systems significantly improve the performance and capabilities of the Republic Fleet's new variant of a revered capital ship design. Improvements to utility and energy systems round out a package that transforms an already formidable fleet and siege action platform into a vessel that any foe would rather avoid. "Jarvika the Fang was a raider by nature but did not stint when arming a full war host against his mightiest foes." – Warlords of the Tronhadar (Caravanserai Press, 2nd Ed. YC119)

Caldari doctrine focuses on distributed fleets with well-equipped and independently operating squadrons of agile strikeforces, nevertheless the State has always maintained a powerful capital fleet capability. Military reforms in the wake of losses suffered by the State during the Triglavian Invasions included significant programs aimed at improving the core dreadnought fleets of the Caldari Navy. The result is the Phoenix Navy Issue: a vessel equipped with heavier shields, significantly upgraded capital missile systems, and enhanced with target-painting technology to improve the application of its powerful weapons against any target this heavily-fanged monster cares to destroy. "Let the stars be the target of your arrows, that you may strike all your foes under them." – Analects of the Raata Empire

Imperial Navy planners regard the Revelation-class dreadnoughts as a mainstay of Amarr military capability, with numerous variants having been developed from the basic class, including several marks of planetary assault dreadnoughts. For fleet actions and sieges of space installations, the Ministry of War required that an upgraded Revelation Navy Issue be equipped with even heavier armor, the most powerful capital energy weapons possible, and an effective capacitor warfare capability. The enhanced naval variant of the storied Revelation-class is a divine beast that amply epitomizes the Amarr way of war. "Let not your sword sleep easy in your hand, till the cities of God be built across heaven's band." – The Scriptures, Book of Graces 11:29
