Description
All of the ships I've created which don't yet belong to a collection, or won't fit into one. Within are ships as diverse as the Vulture Heavy Fighter favoured by pirates, the ubiquitous freighter known the galaxy over simply as the Hauler and the mercenary Adler and Falke class cruisers, built for troop deployment and bombardment. Ever wanted to be a rogue or freelancer? These are the ships to do it in.

Grey Hawk
Created by InkySquid
The Grey Hawk was built as an alternative main fighter to those few in common use by most military forces. Despite being a rugged design with good speed and no obvous flaws, the ship's builders failed to secure any major contracts. It was then released to ...
Hauler (no cargo)
Created by InkySquid
A medium-duty short distance hauler with high versatility. It's fairly slow, and not well armed, but aneffective freighter. This version shows the ship without its cargo pods....

Blackdart
Created by InkySquid
Blackdart fighters are part of the freelancer squadron of the same name. There are 8 fighters in the squadron, originally from Beyura. Built from scratch, they have a skeletal appearance but this belies their adaptability and the skill of the pilots behind...
Snowbird
Created by InkySquid
The Snowbird is an enigma. Part freighter, part frigate, it has the capacity to handle either role well and is as comfortable in combat as it is trawling the starlanes. It's often employed in regions where improved armament and speed often meen the differe...
Orchid
Created by InkySquid
The Orchid made its name fighting pirates off the Verge, but it's just as often been seen raiding shipping. Its captain sees himelf as a privateer rather than a pirate, attacking Beyura's enemies. He doesn't hide the fact that his plundering has made him a...
Carrion Call
Created by InkySquid
The Carrion Call is the legendary flagship of Circadian-born pirate Darkeye Lua. Loosely affiliated with the Verge Pirates, Darkeye Lua is the terror of merchantmen in the whole sector. By mounting weapons of oversized calibre on the Call's hull Lua has ma...

Anelace

Sigil
Created by InkySquid
A blockade runner by design, the Sigil is fast enough to avoid large ships and well armed enough to fight off small ones. Its generous cargo holds mean that it can take a load of cargo or passengers. It concentrates its heavy armament forwards to punch thr...

Starwidow Class Fighter
