main article: [[Capital Ships]].

Capital ships are heavy warships and the largest constructs that can still be called ships. Capships can be anything between an elegant Cruiser and a gargantuan Battleship.

'''Cruisers''' are long-range bombardment ships. Their heavy artillery is quite capable of damaging Carriers and Battleships from afar and anything smaller caught in the crossfire will be eviscerated almost instantly.

'''Battlecruisers''' stand between Cruisers and Battleships when it comes to firepower. They are usually deployed on force reconnaissance missions.

'''Battleships''' are the floating fortresses of space. They are awesome machines of destruction, capable of tearing apart ships of all sizes and glassing entire planets. Carriers are Battleships which exchange some guns for giant hangars and launch tubes capable of unleashing a swarm of fighters and bombers upon their enemies.

'''Explorers''' are multipurpose starships with long-range Plasma Slipstream Drives.  They are capable of performing a variety of duties, from patroling their nation's space to exploration and diplomacy.  Designed for exploration, the ships come heavily armed in order to cope with any threat they encounter.
