Overview of the Cosmo Dragoon Fleet
The Ross 47 conflict of 2192 caused a massive shift in the thinking of Doctor Donaldson with regard to her achieving her goals. Her Cosmo Dragoons had already been formed from remnants of the Prodono forces that were scattered all over the Local Group of Stars (all systems within 50 light years of Sol). Adrianne Donaldson had instructed her Cosmo Dragoons to gather up every ship, mecha, weapon, armor and even personnel in stasis of the Prodono that they could. She knew that her plans would require a large scale military force to contend with Central Control's Prodono Android armada. Due to this scavenger-hunt-style policy a wide range of different types of vessels, mecha, etc. were recovered for use in her military force. This menagerie of craft, mecha, etc. caused a logistical nightmare, thus when Donaldson's Cosmo Dragoons found the Goro Dei in the Chi Orionis star system, she had her Cosmo Dragoons begin recycling any and all Prodono craft, vehicles, and weapons that were older than the Federation era. All of that material was used to build Republic grade machines and equipment to replace them and fuel her warmachine. This new warmachine was built as quickly as the Goro Dei factory could produce them in addition to providing parts for the Goro Yuradei that Donaldson's Cosmo Dragoon had discovered years prior. As the giant Prodono Mobile Citadel's self-repair systems were brought online, the manufacturing capabilities of the massive base started to churn out Prodono Imperial era ships and weapons as the Goro Dei in the Chi Orionis system was ever increasingly under threat of being discovered due to the Ross 47 conflict.
With the outbreak of the 2nd Interplanetary War in 2193, the full weight of Donaldson's Cosmo Dragoon fleet came online. It's main mission for the first few months of the war was the acquisition of nuclear fuels for the spacecraft and mobile mechanized forces of her armada. While she had the ships, she lacked both the fuel and crew to use them. This shortcoming was not her intent as she had hoped to postpone the 2nd Interplanetary War until 2200 AD. Since the conflagration erupted early due to the Ross 47 conflict, her Cosmo Dragoons had to scramble to make up for the deficiencies of her fleet.
The distribution of spacecraft, mecha, and weapons throughout the fleet was surprisingly uniform by 2193. The Cosmo Dragroon armada was divided into fleets of roughly the same type and number of weapons with a workable structure within each fleet. This was done by ranking ships and machines by era and giving them appropriate designations and missions within that hierarchy. This mixing of Federation, Republic, and Imperial machines made Donaldson's one of the most complete Prodono-style military forces known up to that point.
