Surprisingly, the Skull poses a significant threat.  The Skull has poor armor, but is very fast and has good shields.  It also has the best maneuverability of any ship in space.  It may have weak weapons, but it is quite difficult to hit a Skull.
 
 

    Similar to the Heron in design, it is sometimes difficult to tell the two apart.  Boasting only average speed, acceleration, and weapons, the Veldor doesn't present a very large threat.  However, the it does have better maneuverability than the Heron.
 
 

    Big and slow, the Tacon it easy to hit.  It does have strong armor, and powerful guns though.  If you can stay on it's tail, it will not be able to get away with ease.  The Tacon is generally easy to eliminate.
 
 

    The Jincilla Shuttle is heavily armored, with minimal turret defense.  It carries pirate leaders and supplies.  Shuttles are not difficult to destroy.
 
 

    One of the weaker cruisers encountered, the Jincilla Cruiser is still a force to be reckoned with.  Heavy weapons and armor protect this large vessel from attack.  It is more lightly shielded than the Papogod Cruiser, and there are not very many of them around.
