Support Craft: Small craft stored by larger ships, used almost exclusively in a support role. Examples:
Fighters: Used to make short ranged attacks on larger ships.
Interceptors: Used to destroy enemy fighters.

Shuttles: Shuttles are basically used to move people between larger ships. They can have the ability to go into FTL independently, and may or may not be armed.

Corvettes: Small ships with under a dozen crew, used for various combat and survey missions.

Frigates: The smallest 'capital ship' class. They're relatively fast, screen larger ships, and work in wolf packs. They can enter any atmosphere.

Cruisers: The mainstay and core of most formations. They're large, though smaller than dreadnoughts, and lead frigate flotillas rather often. They can only land on low-grav worlds, though can enter the atmosphere in other worlds.

Carriers: Dreadnought sized small craft hangars. They can carry armies or small ships, and hang at the opposite end of any battle, as they get destroyed too quickly when too close.
