Starships

Starships are staples of any good sci-fi series. The Chronicles of Eden is no different.

Capital Ships

Gunships and Gunboats

Gunships and Gunboats are the smallest class of capital ships. They are much faster and more maneuverable than their larger counterparts but do not fair very well against larger ships. Their weaponry is designed to take out groups of fighters.

Destroyers and Cruisers

Cruisers and Destroyers are a bit larger than Gunships and therefore not as maneuverable. They are equipped with multiple torpedo turrets in order to take out other capital ships. They are vulnerable to bombers, but a few of them can destroy an entire space station.

Carriers and Fleet-Carriers

When sending large amounts of fighters, bombers, and dropships across the galaxy, the carrier comes quite in handy. Some carriers are even known to support smaller capital ships in transit.

Battleships and Dreadnaughts

Battleships and Dreadnoughts are the largest classes of capital ship. They are very slow but can take a severe beating before they are destroyed. Their weaponry makes short work of small groups of fighters as well as other capital ships. They are also capable of devastating orbital bombardments.

Fighters and Bombers

Fighters are used in zero-g environments and in planetary atmospheres to overwhelm the opponent. The two classes of fighters are Light and Heavy. Light fighters are primarily used as scouting interceptors and are strongest against bombers. Heavy fighters are used for dogfights and are strong against light fighters and bombers.

Slower and Stronger than their fighter counterparts, bombers are used to take out smaller capital ships and enemy positions. Because they are slow, they often require an escort of fighters to be properly utilized.

UA Vert Fighters

The United Authority perfected the vertical star fighter shortly after the conclusion of the Great Eden War. These fighters rotate their orientation when taking off and landing. They are quick and easy to maneuver.

Cyber Scythe Fighters

Constructed on hidden ship factories by the Cyber Resistance, these ships are quite fast and most effectively used in hit and run tactics.

CDP Rocket Fighters

Used by the Confederacy of Dependent Planets, these rocket fighters are extremely fast but not the most maneuverable.

Alliance Retro Fighters

Designed with a vintage appearance similar to WW1 planes, these star fighters are slower than their opposition, but make up for it with heavier armor and larger payloads. They maneuver better in atmosphere than other fighters.

Imperial Banshee Fighters

Used by the Eden Empire, these fighters are well balanced, with extremely powerful weapons.

Transports

In order to transport larger amounts of soldiers from orbit to the ground and all over the battlefield, drop ships are a necessity.
