Pool A Space Superiority: Who Wins This Fight? This pool pits the most lethal and battle-hardened space superiority ships against each other to see who will survive to the Final Four. Will one of the two heavy turret fighters – the legendary Warden and the deadly upstart Scorpius - or the maneuverable light fighter win out? Or will the bristling Aegis gunship take down all fighters and reign supreme?

Aegis Vanguard Warden

Pool B Explorer: Boldly Going… The ships in this pool stretch the boundaries of known space by venturing into the farthest reaches of the galaxy. Some do it in style, bringing the luxury and comfort in a tour across the stars, while some ply the mysteries of space to map the universe for the Empire or satisfy an unrelenting wanderlust.

Pool C Workhorse: Putting In A Hard Day’s Work The ships in this pool are the hard-working backbone of the empire. They’re either unmatched in versatility and utility at their size, or known for being the best at what they do, whether that’s hauling cargo or ferrying data. These vessels are all renown for being unmatched workhorses and rewarding their pilots with riches for their industry.

Pool D Mavericks: These Ships Are More Than Meets The Eye The ships here all have a tiny profile on the radar. But they all punch above their weight. Whether it’s a snub that can traverse the stars, a tiny six-wheeler with a heart for hauling, or a small starter that might be the only ship you’ll ever need, you shouldn’t underestimate these contenders. And what of the seemingly odd ship out amongst this quartet? As a stealth ship that literally flies under the radar, it might look like nothing until you crumble underneath its Size 9 torpedoes, proving that big things do come in small packages.
