The CTS's fleet appears to be a mish-mash of ships of wildly varying ages and origins, but they have a well-developed command structure that is free from discrimination, and their adaptability and unpredictable battle groups make them a fearsome force in battle. A CTS carrier may break apart into dozens of smaller ships and re-combine as necessary, it may have a huge cannon or thousands of smaller guns, or it may devour smaller ships, turning them and their crews into new soldier loyal to the CTS. Piracy is not a huge problem in this area.
Most living on CTS worlds, however, are civillians. These types are accustommed to seeing other races, and are generally free from the prejudices that come with a more narrow-minded single-race culture.
