In [[2526]], [[Lyrenne Castilla]] estimated that the total fleet of the URF's members was made up of several dozen outdated [[frigate]]s and a few hundred [[corvette]]s at best. This presumably would have also included her flagship ''[[Bellicose]]''.<ref name="SSC6">'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]''', ''Chapter Six'', ''page 93''</ref>

They possess some "old technology that never panned out", such as the [[antigravity plate]] Graves' cell used to fool the SPARTANs' armor systems into thinking they were in a 10 G environment, temporarily giving them decompression sickness, otherwise known as "the bends."<ref name="Onyx36"/>

The Eridanus-based rebels utilized numerous vessels, including upgraded [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] dropships, [[Mako-class corvette]]s, and [[Chiroptera-class stealth vessel]]s as an improvised fleet. They had at least a hundred such vessels in their fleet at any time. Two [[Laden-class freighter]]s were also used as part of their improvised fleet, being used to tow the damaged hybrid vessel ''Gettysburg''/''Ascendant Justice'' back to Eridanus Secundus. They received almost everything in their armament and ships from pirating other vessels, including both civilian merchant vessels and UNSC warships.<ref name="fs254">'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 254''</ref>

Their ability to infiltrate the UNSC ranks caused the UNSC to keep a small orbital force in the system to respond to rebel attacks. Another reason for their success was their location, which was extremely difficult and time-consuming to discover and was easily defended against even medium-scale assaults.
