List of Naval prefixes
(Redirected from FSS)
Overview[edit]
A multitude of naval prefixes are in use for spacecraft in the BattleTech universe. These prefixes are not always consistent. This article lists the affiliation(s) associated with a given prefix, as well as the prefixes used by various affiliations. If the prefix seems to differentiate between types of vessels (such as WarShips, JumpShips, and DropShips) this is also noted.
