1, 21

4 Blaze Cannons, 2 Rockets

NOT PURCHASABLE 
A very powerful fighter, in my mind greater than the Crescent fighter, only purchase if you plan on raiding or ships, not if you plan on doing any cargo missions.

 

 UE Destroyer

400

 2 Mil. Credits

 150 MPH

350 MPH per sec.

30, 35

3 Blaze Turrets, 5 Rockets, 5 Hunter Missiles

NOT PURCHASABLE 
Dangerous and powerful ship, can easily destroy a Voinian Cruiser in packs. they make good escorts if you have the money, but aren't very good alone.

6 Mil. Credits

75 MPH

140 MPH per sec.

50, 45

3 Blaze Turrets, 10 Hunter Missiles, 5 UE Fighters

NOT PURCHASABLE
The Carrier itself is not very dangerous, but its payload of UE Fighters can shred all but the most powerful enemies.

 

 Voinian Supply Ship

 300,000 Credits

75 MPH

120 MPH per sec.

250, 40

1 Neutron Turret

Never buy the Supply Ship, it's only good for plundering

200

300,000 Credits

 200 MPH

400 MPH per sec.

20, 10

3 Neutron Cannons, 5 Rockets

NOT PURCHASABLE
This is the worst fighter next to the Emalgha, sure, it has firepower, but it slowness and minor amounts of protection leave it lacking. Makes a great ship to capture as an escort.

 

 Voinian Frigate

100

2500

5 mil. Credits

110 MPH

240 MPH per sec.

 60, 55

2 Neutron Turrets, 25 Turreted Rockets

NOT PURCHASABLE
The Voinian Frigate is available after the Voinian missions. It has an advantage and a disadvantage. Its advantage is its almost impervious armor to non-UE weapons. Its disadvantage is its utter slowness and lack of maneuverability

 

Voinian Cruiser

150

5000

14 mil. Credits

 75 MPH

120 MPH per sec.

90, 80

3 Neutron Turrets,
40 Turreted Rockets, 4 Voinian Heavy Fighters

NOT PURCHASABLE
The Voinian Cruiser is one of the most destructive ships ever designed. No Crescent ship can stop it. The only thing it needs is a speed upgrade. The only ship comparable is the UE Cruiser.

 

 Scoutship

250

50

100,000 Credits

 200 MPH

375 MPH per sec.

 40, 30

 2 Blaze Cannons

Great little ship, all it needs are a few more blaze cannons and you can be a pirate

 

 Freight-Courier

600 

250

 1 mil. Credits

175 MPH

300 MPH per sec.

 80, 50

 2 Blaze Turrets, 5 Hunter Missiles

 The most mediocre ship around, its got a large cargo hold, but not enough shields to protect it. Weaponry stinks for the price you pay and the thing's as slow as molasses.

  

Voinian Dreadnought

  1500

15000

30 mil. Credits

 60 MPH

 100 MPH per sec.

 150, 150

6 Neutron Turrets, 10 Voinian Interceptors, 120 Turreted Rockets

 NEVER PURCHASABLE 
The scourge of the galaxy, this behemoth will annihilate all but the most powerful ships. Its practically unlimited supply of rockets are deadly at close range and a single pass on it can kill you. Wait at a distance and let it use up its rockets and fighters on the destroyers nearby. Only attempt its mission if you have done a lot more in the galaxy and are trained in combat.

 

 Voinian Interceptor

An all-round better ship than the Heavy Figher.

 

 Krait

0

 50,000 Credits

350 MPH

700 MPH per sec.

 0, 20

3 Blaze Cannon

The wimpiest ship in the galaxy. The Krait is the average pirate raiding ship. DON'T BUY IT!

 

 Turncoat

750

300

1.5 mil. Credits

120 MPH

280 MPH per sec.

 65, 50

2 Blaze Turrets, 3 Kraits, 10 Needle Missiles

Nasty pirate ship early on. Any Crescent can take it out, but a UE Courier or Scoutship is doomed. Its Kraits are just annoying.

 

 Helian

350

100

250,000 Credits

180 MPH

320 MPH per sec.

 50, 40

3 Blaze Cannons, 5 Needle Missiles

Good ship to purchase early on, it can defend itself and can carry a good amount of cargo.

 

UE Cruiser

3000

1000

10,5 mil. Credits

100 MPH

225 MPH per sec.

 50, 40

4 Blaze Turrets, 15 Hunter Missiles, 15 Rockets, 5 UE Fighters

NOT PURCHASABLE
The UE Cruiser is a good ship but it does not have the strength of an Igazra. Its UE Fighters are the best tool for destroying more powerful ships.

 

The Nadir

500

100 mil. Credits

150 MPH

350 MPH per sec.

 0, 0

 4 Blaze Turrets, 6 Kraits, 200 Needle Missiles, 20 Hunter Missiles

NEVER PURCHASABLE
Only found in a certain mission, this is no ordinary Turncoat. Be prepared to fight a good deal more to kill this one.

 

 Miranu Courier

400

100

 500,000 Credits

175 MPH

300 MPH per sec.

 60, 30

1 Phase Turret

Great ship, it can go forever without having to stop and refuel. It has a fuel tank of 15 jumps. It can carry a good amount of cargo and has fair shields for its type.

 

Miranu Freighter

600

250

800,000 Credits

120 MPH

240 MPH per sec.

 240, 40

1 Phase Turret, 10 Defense Pods

Can't survive a fire fight but can haul one heck of a lot of cargo. Good if you're just a commodity trader.

 

Miranu Heavy Freighter

 800

400

1.2 mil. Credits

85 MPH

150 MPH per sec.

500, 50 

1 Phase Turret, 15 Defense Pods

The ultimate ship for a commodity trader, it can carry twice as much cargo as the Miranu Freighter and its defenses are a bit stronger

 

 Crescent Fighter

250

0

 800,000 Credits

450 MPH

1000 MPH per sec.

 5, 45

 4 Phase Cannons

The average fighter of the Crescent, its best selling point is its blinding speed.

 

 Arada

500

100

1 mil. Credits

300 MPH

600 MPH per sec.

40, 80

 4 Phase Cannons

This sweet little ship costs as much as a Freight-Courier, but it has many uses it can be modified to. There are different versions of this ship throughout the different Strands.

 

Crescent Warship

2500

250

9 mil. Credits

175 MPH

300 MPH per sec.

 70, 35

3 Phase Turrets, 3 Crescent Fighters, 15 SAD Modules

Most powerful civilian ship, it carries 3 Crescent Fighters, a devastating arsenal and hard shields. Its a good ship until you can upgrade to one of the governments' military cruisers.

 

 Zidara

1800

150

5.5 mil. Credits

 250 MPH

450 MPH per sec.

40, 30

2 Phase Turrets, 10 Dispersal Rockets, 2 Phased Beams, 2 Zidagar Fighters

NOT PURCHASABLE
The Zidara is a cruiser that handles like a heavy fighter. While its shields are weak, its handling makes it deadly. Its fighters are nothing to toy with as well.

 

 Azdara

190

0

1.5 mil. Credits

550 MPH

1800 MPH per sec.

1, 27

3 Swivel Phase Cannons

NOT PURCHASABLE
These ships are like flies, one will annoy you , seven will drive you mad. If a pack of these guys attacks you, your best defense is to fire dispersal or normal rockets at them. If they leave the screen their shields will have regenerated to full by the time you see them again, so you need to kill them quickly or you won't be able to.

 

 Igazra

5000

400

15 mil. Credits

130 MPH

275 MPH per sec.

40, 40

5 Phase Turrets, 30 SAE Modules, 10 Dispersal Rockets

NOT PURCHASABLE
The Igazra is the most powerful ship in the galaxy, next only to the Dreadnought. Its phase turrets can eliminate most opposition by themselves. Destroying one of these ships takes patience and a lot of armor, high shield won't do you any good versus this thing.

 

 Azdgari Warship

2500

250

12 mil. Credits

175 MPH

350 MPH per sec.

55, 20

4 Phase Turrets, 6 Azdara Fighters

NEVER PURCHASABLE
The Azdgari Warship is a modified Crescent Warship thus you can modify yours to like this one. Its fighters are as devastating as UE Fighters because of the number it carries.
