Requires: Shipyard.png 2 Jet drive.png 2
Hercules class.png
Hercules Class Cargo: An upgrade to the Atlas with better shield, hull, and cargo capacity. However, it is slower than the upgraded Atlas Class.
Requires: Shipyard.png 4 Jet drive.png 6
Carmanor.png
Carmanor Class Cargo: The largest freight ship in the Universe. It's slower than the Atlas or Hercules but has the largest cargo capacity, making it ideal for moving large amounts of resources.
Requires: Shipyard.png 6 Jet drive.png 10 Expedition tech.png 4
Charon class.png
Charon Class Transport: The only ship approved for civilian and droid transport. Each one is capable of ferrying six between your worlds.

Requires: Shipyard.png 3 Jet drive.png 4 Weapons tech.png 2
Erebus.png
Erebus Class Fighter: Lightweight fighter with a heavyweight weapons system. During combat the Erebus will fire three times per round, ignoring all shields and directly striking the hull of the ships and defenses of your enemies. (Conquest, Hired Guns; Seekers)
Requires: Shipyard.png 3 Jet drive.png 4 Weapons tech.png 2
Magnon.png
Magnon Class Fighter: Seeker built entry level fighter that pushes the boundries of what is considered "small" because this ship is a beast for its size. The Magnon is by far the most effective fighter for the cost.. (Hired Guns; Seekers)
Mantus.png
Mantus Class Fighter: Sleek Krug low level fighter that can out pace the human Artemis class. The Mantus is highly more effective in large numbers and can serve as great fodder against large enemy targets. (Hired Guns; Krug)
Vortex.png
Vortex Class Fighter: The only small fighter among the Urcath armada since they don't value small squadrons. For this reason they've outfitted the Vortex with high cargo capacities and a low hydrogen consumption rate meant to plunder and retrieve resources from large distances (Hired Guns; Urcath)
Light Capital Warships
Curetes.png
Curetes Class Cruiser: a defensive style of ship. It is designed to absorb large hits. While it has limited offense, its high shields and the fact that nothing rapid fires against it make it able to withstand large amounts of fire, making it a great addition to your fleet. (Nova, Conquest, Hired Guns; Urcath)
Requires: Shipyard.png 4 Jet drive.png 4 Particle tech.png 1 Shield tech.png 4

Ship Engine Types

There are three types of engines currently in use in the Starfleet Universe, the Jet Drive Engine, the Pulse Drive Engine, and the Warp Drive Engine.

Note: Of the three drive types described, only Pulse and Warp are even vaguely interstellar in nature, and Pulse drive would, in reality, only be of use in so-called "generation" ships, which literally take a lifetime to reach the nearest stars. Hence Warp drive is really the only one of these drives which should properly operate within the time-frames suggested by the game.

The Jet Drive Engine

The ancient Jet Drive Engine ignites a combustible gas and use the resulting thrust to move ships. While new advances have continually increased their efficiency, they are, on the whole, a relatively slow method of transportation. Still they are cheap and effective for units that don't require the advanced speed afforded by Pulse and Warp drives.

Ships using the Jet Drive Engine Type:

The Pulse Drive Engine

The Pulse Drive Engine is an evolution of the Jet Drive Engine. Instead of igniting a stream of gas, it uses a series of nuclear explosions (pulses) to generate considerable thrust. This engine type is used on larger and faster ships instead of the Jet Drive Engines.

Ships using the Pulse Drive Engine:

The Warp Drive Engine

The Warp Drive Engine is the pinnacle of transportation technology. It uses magnetism to reshape the space-time continuum around it, allowing ships to move at faster-than-light speeds.
