Being one of the largest spacefaring corporations in the Known Galaxy, NT has a naval arm of significant size, consisting of civilian and military craft fitted to perform a vast array of duties. The Blue-Space Navy is a bit of a play on words, combining the technologies of Bluespace with their voidcraft travel, but most signficantly, a Navy so vast they paint space their corporate color, blue.
Being one of the largest spacefaring corporations in the Known Galaxy, NT has a naval arm of significant size, consisting of civilian and military craft fitted to perform a vast array of duties. All of its ships are painted in the company's signature "Corporate Blue" (trademarked), and while it isn't ranked among the largest navies even in only the EROS sector, Nanotrasen prides itself on strength, and not numbers. Technological innovation has allowed Nanotrasen to have quite a fierce navy despite its smaller size compared to some other organizations and political bodies, and while Nanotrasen participates in little warfare contemporarily, it still necessitates defending itself should errant syndicate attacks come.  


Though there is a dispraportionate ratio of Civilian to Military spacecraft (partly due to Galactic Federal Law, partly due to logistics), the Nanotrasen Navy sits on a near-unlimited source of civilian spacecraft, producing them by the thousands continuously, only quickening in the growing Federation. Nanotrasen shipping vessels and Orbital Stations are constantly being manufactured to feed into the space-industrialization machine that is Nanotrasen.
'''Large Spacecraft'''
 
Here is a list of large spacecraft in the Nanotrasen Navy


When it comes to Military spacecraft, more particularily the larger vessels of Nanotrasen's Navy, there aren't a massive amount (not including very small patrol, scout, and strike crafts). This isn't to say that Nanotrasen's military-focused navy isn't big, because it is, it's not big when compared navies such as The Federation, however Nanotrasen is one of the few corporations to have a navy consisting of both small and large spacecraft, something most corporations aren't able to achieve (usually only having small spacecraft and a small handful of larger spacecraft at most).

The Nanotrasen Navy

Being one of the largest spacefaring corporations in the Known Galaxy, NT has a naval arm of significant size, consisting of civilian and military craft fitted to perform a vast array of duties. All of its ships are painted in the company's signature "Corporate Blue" (trademarked), and while it isn't ranked among the largest navies even in only the EROS sector, Nanotrasen prides itself on strength, and not numbers. Technological innovation has allowed Nanotrasen to have quite a fierce navy despite its smaller size compared to some other organizations and political bodies, and while Nanotrasen participates in little warfare contemporarily, it still necessitates defending itself should errant syndicate attacks come.
