TERRAN
FEDERATION
You may notice TWO scout ships. This is to make up for having
only two bombers...
A feature shot of my favorite ships. The Carrier used to be the
battleship, but it was retrofitted after the completion of the new
battleship
(left).

the Terran Federation.

TRITONS
Triton ships have a distinctly nautical feel to them. They rely
on proven Caspian vented engine blocks for most of their ships.
An imposing angle on the Triton fleet...
Though not overly armed, Triton ships are notoriously sturdy and
dependable
craft.

VOSTOK
EMPIRE
The Vostok are as agressive as their ships would suggest. But
they also have a strong sense of community, coming to the aid of those
in need, even when not asked for!
The Battleship Laika and Carrier Gagarin lead the fleet into unexplored
space...
Vostok ships combine huge, primitive rocket engines with aggressive
angles and sturdy weapons- avoid being rammed by them!

ALPHANS
Alphan cylinder ships are quite sturdy, and have proven effective
in all aspects of deep space exploration. You can find closeup
shots
below.

Alphan ships have plenty of thrust to offset their mass.
Supplemental
propellant spheres are fitted onto many of their ships.

DERELICTS
These unusual and abandoned craft are of unknown origin. No one
knows what befell their crew or how long they have been adrift...

Unwary boarders may be devoured, corrupted, or driven insane by
whatever
is lurking aboard. Approach with caution!

SCRAPPERS
Scrappers are expert salvagers, and devised Grapple ships to aid in
cannibalizing shipwrecks. Fighters and Scout Ships are also used
to seek out new scrap.
Scrappers often refurbish derelict ships to use as Cruisers,
Freighters, or Q-Ships. Wary space travellers avoid Scrapper
fleets,
lest they be "mistaken" for a derelict and torn up for parts!

GRAPPLE
SHIPS
ScrappersOf course, once the scrappers showed how useful grapple ships
could be, every fleet put their finest builders on making their own
unique
versions!
Here a Triton, Terran, Alphan, and Vostok Grapple ship can be seen
closing in on a Derelict. Another view

SPACE
PIRATES
There are rumours of untold numbers of Space Pirates gathering in
the Blood Nebula. Traders be warned, and let no military
fleet assume they are safe and secure.
The dreaded Pirate Blood Galleon, accompanied by 3 skull cruisers,
lurks in an asteroid belt, waiting to ambush unsuspecting
victims...
Space Prirates often seed an area with mines to increase the
chance of crippling unsuspecting victims...
Pirate ships are often based on stolen Triton cruisers, with more
ram-worthy
bowskulls and reinforced hulls. Caspian quad engine blocks are stripped
down to a dangerous degree...

The Blood Galleon, one of the most heavily armed ships in the galaxy,
and commanded by one of the most ruthless captains ever known.
Her full armament is unknown but includes at least 12 broadside
cannons, ten forward firing torpedo guns, a ventral heavy laser, and of
course an ironclaw ramming prow.

PHENOMENON
Starbase One, a common ground amongst all spacefarers....
All manner of planets and moons can be found in the depths of uncharted
space. What lurks in orbit around these uncharted worlds?
Only
the brave, or foolish, can know....
Attention: deadly comets have been spotted in the area. Protect
Starbase One at all costs!
