the Medium Fighter has better shields and average speed. It carries a wide
variety of missiles, and a BSE Mk I. It is a very old, and well respected
ship.
Heavy Fighter
The Heavy Fighter has been updated to make it more
powerful. These ships are a prime selection for escort. Fast and powerful,
this ship has very high shields and armor.
Extra-Heavy Fighter
The name says it all. This ship is the best in the
force, very powerful, very quick. It is used to escort Dreadnoughts, and
makes heavy attacks on pirate convoys. With the 5 Flux Mk IIs it carries,
along with a BSE Mk II and several Hellraiser Torpedoes, it can easily
destroy most capital ships.
Destroyer
The Destroyer is mainly used as a patrol vehicle.
It can fend off most light to medium attacks, and is the least armored
capital ship in the CIS fleet.
Carrier
The carrier has medium defenses, and is the only
ship in the Tri-System that has the ability to carry and launch several
fighters. They usually contain a wide variety of fighters.
Dreadnought
The most powerful battleship in the Tri-System, the
Dreadnought can easily destroy any capital ship with ease. It is usually
used to head an attack on large pirate targets. It has many and powerful
turrets, which prevents most fighters from even getting near it.
Cargo Carrier
This ship is used to transport prisoners and supplies
to and from planets. It is heavily armored and fast, but it has few turrets.
Capital Ship
This is not a combat ship; rather it is used to transport officials and other CIS leaders to and from worlds. It also serves as an orbital headquarters for on-planet attacks.
