All X-Com ships have the registry/prefix of XGS-XXXX with XGS Prefix standing for X-Com Global Starship. All ships are managed by the Council and crewed by members of the X-Com branches

History

• The first X-Com ships were the Faulke-Class. This was a ship design that has been the mainstay of the X-Com Fleet, given upgrades over time. They fill the role of Picket Defense/Destroyer/Light Cruiser with no FTL Drive. X-Com built 5 in time for New York, with three of those lost in battle or heavily destroyed by the Zintraedi. Currently, 12 are in service.
• Some time after New York (2010+), the Aegis class was built and designed. Before 2009, X-Com had built 5 Faulke-Class Ships, with a secret shipyard in Antarctica. By 2009, all 5 had been built and were in service. After 2010, X-Com was able to switch construction to a new facility in Upstate New York.
• By 2012, the I.X.S. Aegis was under construction and finished by 2015, being put fully into service. 
• By 2015, the designs for a new Cruiser-class had been drawn up, meant to be a heavy weapons platform. I.X.S. Retribution and I.X.S. Domination were placed under construction and launched by 2016.
• 2018, crossover event to another Earth, had Arielle Ravenshire return with ANOTHER I.X.S. Aegis. This ship was renamed to I.X.S. Rampart.
• 2022, I.X.S. Intrepid, a joint-project by X-Com and Damocles, had launched.
• 2023, by then the Lexington class, with Lexington and Saratoga, had fully launched.
• X-Com likely has a freighter-type as well, for cargo and mining in space.
• By 2024, X-Com would have 12 Faulke-Classes, 5 Aegis-Classes, 7 Leonidis-Classes, 1 Intrepid-Class and 2 Lexington-Classes.

Current Fleet

• X-Com did not reveal itself till 2010, when it was forced to by the Zintraedi attack on New York. It was however, aware of the incoming threat, after the New Horizons probe detected the Zintraedi Imperial Fleet (1 Emperess Dreadnought + 10 Ships) on the outer edge of the solar system. This detection was sometime in 2009 while on the way to Uranus. 
• General James Bridger, US Army, commanded X-Com North America for the US Department of Defense. His full tenure is undecided, but he was around for New York, and Raelynn's arrival so 2003? to 2011. By 2011, he had likely been promoted and placed as the United States representative to the X-Com Global Council. Head Canon Note: His career is similar to Nathan Bridger's. He would of spent 2011-2020, focused on building a defense Fleet for X-Com.
• By 2009, the Faulke-Class Destroyer had not been fully finished. Arielle Ampourois was ordered to spend the year in Nevada to get them operational.
• Squad training was boosted by Scorpions sent over by Natalie Taylor
• The Varginha UFO Incident - Zintraedi Scout ship, checking for viability of invasion in 1996. Incident was suppressed by the government and X-Com. Zintraedi raped a few, including one female US Marine who signed an NDA, settlement and went to California.
