The Han Khan First Battlegroup is the primary striking power of the burgeoning nation. Currently deployed in defense of their Minagalcian Allies, the First Battlegroup consists of 2 Chalcedon-class frigates, two Lionheart-class destroyers, and the HKS Marigolde Carrier, the namesake of its class, the Marigoldecarries the battegroup's two squadrons of escort fighters and typically remains to the rear of formations, as its role as a carrier makes it more venerable than the other ships. Last but certainly not least, is the Battleship HKS Smithson, pride of the Han khan fleet and most heavily armed of the nation's warships.
The First Battlegroup makes up the primary offensive power of the Han Khan One Fleet, it typically travels with an array of smaller support ships and cargo transports. The battle group is also often partnered with the Han Khan medical frigate Civility, although this partnership is inconstant, as the medical frigate is considered too valuable to leave Han Khan space. The ships have a compliment of around 1000 crew and other personnel, as well as 500 marines. The ships also all offer decent amenities, and can each support their crew for up to two months without resupply.

The Battlegroup's frigates and destroyers have heat dispersal arrays at their bows
The First Battlegroup has yet to be tested in a major battle, it has primarily been deployed to fight local populations who do not posses weapons capable of piercing the armor of the Han Khan ships. The only known battle against technologically equal opposing forces took place shortly following the Han Khan Minagalcia alliance, when the First Battlegroup encountered three Legotavian warships. The battle was fairly brief, resulting in the disabling of one Legotavian frigate and light damage inflicted to one of the Han Khan destroyers. Casualties on both sides were negligible.
Although most ships in the battlegroup are equipped with their own shield generators, those on the Smithson are so powerful, they are often used to protect the entire battlegroup, in order to save on power usage on the smaller ships.
It is unknown how the Han Khan Navy would fair against a more established power.
