Glory

A Starship is the basic element of the military, which projects power beyond the home system, be it by establishing a new colony or sending an armada to wipe out enemy resistance. Ships generally fit into ship classes, each specified by a blueprint. The ship designer creates custom classes using specific components.

Ship types

The available blueprints cluster into abstract ship types, with one blueprint defining the canonical form and others the variants. We define ship types by their hull size, role and primary weapon.
