Class vs. Series Designations of Spacecraft

Large corporate and military ships are often assigned individual series numbers. As such, the first Odysseus battleship was the FSBB-100, the next the FSBB-101, and so on. Smaller ships, lancers, and other materiel are given a class number, their parts have serial numbers, and their eventual owner or registrant will give them a unit number if they so desire or it is required by law.
