Capital-Class Ships

The flagship and largest carrier of the UEE Navy. A main runway running the length of the ship and a short deck on the upper level can house ships up to Constellation size; internal transit is provided by monorail.

Its typical air wing consists of F7A Hornet and F8A Lightning fighters and Retaliator bombers; its main turret carries four Behring S12 rayguns. It is not sold in the store — in the future it is planned to be acquired through wreck repair or shipyard (DryDock) construction, and Bengals are persistent ships: they do not despawn when you log out.

An escort carrier smaller than the Bengal but faster to deploy. It can support 32 fighters (typically 16 Hornets + 16 Gladiators); it can also carry 2 Argo support craft and 2 Retaliators docked underneath.

Originally designed under the name "Panther," it was renamed in December 2014. It is expected to play an important role in the Squadron 42 narrative; it is not sold to players.

The UEE's smallest ship of the line and the largest ship players can buy. It has five decks, 15 turrets, and tubes capable of firing S12 torpedoes; its six modular rooms can be customized for different mission profiles.

The upper deck hangar houses a Redeemer gunship; the ship features a medical bay, a brig, an armory, and a briefing room. It is a persistent ship and is expected to become flyable for players following the release of Squadron 42.

Drake's most ambitious project. It includes 6 landing pads (4 small, 2 medium), 2 internal hangars, an internal tram system, and 3,792 SCU of cargo capacity. Officially it is positioned as a "civilian carrier," but everyone knows its true intended use.

It entered pre-production in 2025, then full production; its hull length was revised to ~260 meters during the Greybox stage. It is the promise of a flying forward base for an org: it brings the fighter wing, resupply, and cargo together on a single deck.

The trade variant of the Kraken. It converts the cargo areas into a secured mobile marketplace; it contains shops where players can dock and trade. A bazaar floating in space — and, fittingly for Drake, no questions are asked about what is being sold.

While some of the upper deck pads are retained, a significant portion of the interior volume is given over to shop modules; 768 SCU of cargo remains. Production priority is on the base model — the Privateer is waiting in concept.

The largest private freighter on the civilian market. With a capacity of 12,288 SCU, it can carry a colony's founding materials or a Bengal carrier's resupply in a single trip.

Cargo is carried on an external telescopic spine (spindle) — it cannot land while loaded and only operates at orbital docks. It is unarmed apart from defensive turrets; in an org trade fleet it always flies with an escort.

One size smaller than the Hull E; with 6,912 SCU it is the backbone of bulk inter-regional trade. It works with the same external spine (spindle) cargo system.

It is a candidate to become the flagship of mid-sized trade orgs; since its armament is weak, it requires an escort. It is still in the concept stage.

A fully modular science and research platform. Thanks to interchangeable pod modules, it can be converted into research laboratory, hospital (Hope class), biodome/agriculture, telescope array, supercollider, or landing hangar configurations.

Its most notable feature is its ship-separation capability: the forward "Explorer Cab" section can detach from the main hull and operate independently. It is one of the most requested ships in the community; development is currently on hold.

The largest mining ship in the game. Originally ~170 meters, the design grew to ~340 meters after a rework; its robotic arms carry mining lasers, tractor beam arrays, an internal refinery, and drone bays.

Ore is stored in detachable giant pods; the standard 384 SCU hold is reserved for resupply and output. It is a concept platform capable of single-handedly feeding an org's industrial arm.

A mobile shipyard capable of building modular structures on planetary surfaces. It carries four large construction drones, a fabrication facility, and a colony command center; it was sold together with a UEE land title (Claim License).

It has entered active production in line with the base-building system. After the first ship to land on a new planet, the second will usually be a Pioneer — the cornerstone of an org's colonization program.

Supports the major raid operations of large clans. It carries ~1,400 crew and has atmospheric flight capability; it deploys Harvester ground vehicles to exploit surface resources.

In clan fleets it is the second tier below the Kingship — the sighting of a Driller is considered the herald of a full-scale raid. The captured X12 Driller provided humanity with its deepest insights into Vanduul culture.

The heavy warship of Vanduul fleets; classified as a cruiser by the UEE Navy.

Observational data about it is limited. What is known is that it forms the main escort force of Kingship fleets, and that the few UEE units that encountered it lived long enough to report back.

Originally classified as a destroyer, it was reclassified as a corvette at CitizenCon 2954. It contains a Cleaver boarding pod / torpedo launch bay.

This bay makes the Hunter the spearhead of Vanduul boarding operations. In the SQ42 demonstration it was staged as one of the targets the player must attack.

A mysterious ship seen for the first time at the CitizenCon 2954 demonstration. According to the holotable projection it is Javelin-scale or larger (~300-400+ meters). Unlike the matte-black hull of other Vanduul ships, it has a bright silver hull — which may indicate a special clan status.

"McTyphoonFace" is a temporary name given by the community. Its official name has not yet been revealed.
