Wiki Gear Ships
The 12 ships of the game: stats, slots, passives, signature skills and prices.
Ships are not tied to a unit: all four units fly the same schemes from the Common Yard. No ship has a level or any other ship requirement, only a price. Your first ship is free.

From Alnilam to Neyra: every step means more slots, armor and cargo.
“Every road starts at a threshold.”
The oldest, cheapest scheme in the Common Yard. Every unit sends a new pilot out in an Alnilam first: it probes the border, counts Exiles, reads the drift of the shardfall, and comes back. It is light because it is lost often; the capsule survives, so nobody minds.
“It looks steep. It can be climbed.”
The first real gun hull for a pilot who has outgrown the Alnilam. All four units build the Alnitak from the same drawing; only the paint and the banner differ. The workhorse of the patrol line: neither elegant nor fast, but always there.
“The line stands on its back.”
The spine of the patrol line: thick hull, balanced guns, long watches. Shard hunters turn away when they see a Mintaka; Exile destroyers do not, which is why Mintaka hulls are patched.
“From an Orion, the Belt looks small.”
The first truly heavy hull among the common schemes. A pilot who wants to enter the Broken Belt under his own name for the first time picks an Orion. Exile destroyers no longer dare fly beside it.
“Past this point it is only wind.”
The units' heavy patrol ship; each one costs about a unit's annual budget. Where an Orbea's shadow falls, the Exiles go quiet. That is why it is entrusted only to experienced pilots.
“It fills the horizon; the Belt whispers its name.”
The largest hull ever drawn at the Common Yard. It does not go onto the slip until all four units approve, because since the Ring began to fall no one has been able to lift a Neyra alone. When a Neyra hangs in the sky, the border is redrawn.
Damage ships melt enemies fast. Each one is set apart by the way you want to hunt: diving in, long range, a crushing volley, or a pincer.
“It dives first and talks later.”
A thick hull with a spear-sharp prow and two twin-barrelled gun blocks on its flanks. The Aries closes the gap in a single move; it comes out of its dash right beside the target and lands the hardest blow in the first few seconds. The yard crews named it Aries, after the Ram, for the red-hot tip of its nose; its pilots like the name.
“Blade-thin, it strikes from behind.”
A thin predator with a forked tail and two exposed gun prongs up front. The Lupus does not go for the target's face: it circles round, strikes from the tail side, and because its armor is thin it is gone before anyone can answer. Fast and fragile; it forgives no mistakes.
“What stands in front of it is crushed.”
A broad, low brute packed with glowing barrels. The Hercules is slow, but the two rows of guns on its prow let loose an extra-hard salvo every eight seconds; its thick armor handles the rest. Few come near it: you are either crushed by that salvo or you keep your distance.
“It squeezes first, then it strikes.”
Two thick horns sweep forward, a pair of barrels on each tip. The Leo takes its prey into the mouth of the crescent and never takes its eyes off one target; the longer it squeezes, the harder it hits. The Surety Corps' debt collectors call it the pincer: the runaway debt and the runaway Exile both end up inside that crescent sooner or later.
Support ships restore the shields of unit mates nearby or raise their damage.
“The wound closes, the fleet stays.”
Light on guns, strong on shield recovery. The Lyra's mending beam patches the shields and hulls of friends nearby; it was built from a drawing left over from the old Accord infirmaries. The units do not count it a warship, but when the line is failing, everyone drifts to its side.
“While the banner stands, the fleet stands.”
It carries an echo beacon that buffs friends nearby: shields, damage, speed, whatever the moment needs. It looks like a banner, but it is made of shield tremor, not cloth. The units keep it in the middle of the watch, not at the back; shooting the banner is the enemy's first move.
