The Mars class heavy battleships are the pride of the League of Italian States. The Tetrarchy know the worth of these powerful vessels and not a single one weighs anchor unless they are convinced that it is Italy's needs and not the vainglories of Napoleon that are best served by doing so.

Pride of the Castellammare di Stabia shipyards, the Gladius is a superb vessel. Optimised for long sea voyages with comfortable crew berths and excellent fresh-water reclamation systems, the Gladius is a popular assignment in the Regia Marina. Variants on this hull design also fulfil other fleet roles as and when required, the most successful of these being the mighty Spatha. Used where other nations might deploy a heavy cruiser, the Spatha is a naval brawler. Capable of exchanging fire with powerful enemy vessels and holding their own, the Spatha crews prefer to do so while closing to ramming range.
