Vulcan Defense Force: DFC ("Defense Force Cruiser")
Vulcan Expeditionary Group: VSS ("Vulcan Science Ship")
  • European Space Agency: no prefixes; just named vessels, sometimes accompanied by a missions-series name (ex: Ponce de León - Aventeur II)
  • New United Nations - UNSS ("United Nations Space Ship") for non-enforcement/governmental interplanetary vessels of the United Nations and the NUN’s early interstellar vessels operated by the ISA.
International Space Agency:

Earth Fleet - EFS ("Earth Fleet Ship")
United Earth Starfleet: UESS ("United Earth Space Ship")
United Earth Stellar Navy: UES ("United Earth Ship")
Star Fleet: USS ("United Star Ship")
