Shipyard: Aliens

You can't fly any of these ships, since they are all living creatures (to some degree), but I'm adding them here for completeness sake.

	Wraith Child back to top
	A Wraith child is a playful being, full of life and spirit. As with all Wraithkind, they love to frolic in the blackness of space, and they have an instinctive understanding of hyperspace. Their method of propulsion is a much more refined version of the same etheric wave technology that drives most Polaris vessels. Children of the Wraith will not stray far from their parents, and those same parents will fiercely defend their young from anyone cruel enough to attack such beautiful creatures.

Notes: The weakest of the Wraith, they have no cloaking ability. However, their parents seem to be rather protective, so you would be ill-advised to attack one if it seems like no other ships are in the system.

	Wraith Youth back to top
	When Wraith children are a little more grown, they are capable of running with the pack. Young Wraith will serve as outliers for a convoy, and take great delight in 'buzzing' incoming ships with their younger brothers and sisters. The adults can always keep them in line, though, and the youngsters quickly mature as they get better and better at gliding through the harshness of space, as opposed to their native Hot'A'Tanius.
Standard Stats: Speed: 375 Accel: 575 Turn: 60 Shields: 300/20 Armor: 300/8 Guns: 1 (max) Turrets: none Space: 8 tons Cargo: 0 tons Fuel: 8 jumps Length: 20m Mass: 50 tons Crew: 0 Cost: 1 AI Type: 2 (Brave trader) Strength: 425 Deionize: 45 Max Ion.: 200 Buy Random: 0% Hire Random: 0%

Notes: This Wraith can cloak, but it's attack and defenses aren't as strong as the adults.

	Wraith Adult back to top
	In the final stage of Wraith growth, the shiny carapace goes completely black, and the mature Wraith takes its place in the clan as a respected elder. The elder Wraith discuss many topics during their gathering trips into space and their time on their homeworld. They are truly a race of philosophers, though some of their conclusions are quite alien to humans. The adult Wraith will mate when they reach 200 years of age, and they live for up to 1000 years.
Standard Stats: Speed: 350 Accel: 550 Turn: 40 Shields: 600/26 Armor: 600/10 Guns: 1 (max) Turrets: none Space: 10 tons Cargo: 0 tons Fuel: 10 jumps Length: 30m Mass: 100 tons Crew: 0 Cost: 1 AI Type: 3 (Warship) Strength: 500 Deionize: 60 Max Ion.: 300 Buy Random: 0% Hire Random: 0%
Other Info: Armament: 1 Wraith Gravitron Beam (Adult) (231) Outfits: 1 Wraith Cloaking Device (266), 1 Wraith Fast Jump (267) Other AI Behaviors: Always Has Afterburner, Ship Swarms, Can Jump Without Slowing, Inertialess, AI Ships Cloak During Burst Reload, AI Ships Cloak When Running Away, AI Ships Cloak When Hyperspacing, AI Ships Cloak When Flying Around, AI Ships Stay Cloaked Until Near Target, AI Ships Cloak When Attacked AvailBits: AppearOn: OnPurchase: OnCapture: OnRetire:
Notes: The older a Wraith gets, the deadlier it becomes. This one can cloak before and after it attacks, but it's weapon is much more powerful (and more fun to watch) than it's younger siblings.

	Hyperioid back to top
	The Hyperioid is a space-dwelling animal that feeds on the emissions from various types of stars. Most of their bodies are actually energy projections, and the actual matter component of their bodies seems almost an evolutionary remnant. They will migrate between stars after the death of a food source. They can coast between stars for ľons in a low energy state, where their bodies revert to their ten tons or so of actual mass. Hyperioids breed by a method of group construction, where many Hyperioids will add traits to a single new individual.
Standard Stats: Speed: 200 Accel: 250 Turn: 30 Shields: 630/84 Armor: 15/2 Guns: 2 (max) Turrets: none Space: 15 tons Cargo: 0 tons Fuel: 0 jumps Length: 30m Mass: 10 tons Crew: 0 Cost: 1 AI Type: 2 (Brave trader) Strength: 100 Deionize: 10 Max Ion.: 450 Buy Random: 0% Hire Random: 0%
Other Info: Armament: 1 Solar Lance (230) Outfits: Other AI Behaviors: Always Has Afterburner, Inertialess, AI Ships Replenish Ammo AvailBits: AppearOn: OnPurchase: OnCapture: OnRetire:
Notes: Note much to say about these strange creatures. They seem to be in a constant of "being", never doing much. They can't jump anywhere, and can only travel via wormholes. If you feel like taking one out, do it from behind, as it's Solar Lance will give you too good of a tan.

	Krypt Pod back to top
	Krypt has always been curious about the universe at large. She created these nanite globes to explore her surrounds soon after she became conscious. Any globe is a part of her body; she suffers its ill-treatment badly, and will respond to force with force. Not that she truly understands that these strange asteroids that appear in her space actually contain living beings; she is unaware that other life exists.
Standard Stats: Speed: 600 Accel: 1300 Turn: 130 Shields: 1200/100 Armor: 1200/100 Guns: 1 (max) Turrets: none Space: 30 tons Cargo: 0 tons Fuel: 10 jumps Length: 30m Mass: 60 tons Crew: 0 Cost: 1 AI Type: 4 (Interceptor) Strength: 450 Deionize: 500 Max Ion.: 3000 Buy Random: 0% Hire Random: 0%
Other Info: Armament: 1 Nanites (229) Outfits: Other AI Behaviors: Disabled at 10%, Always Has Afterburner, Doesn't Show Armor or Shield State, Ship Swarms, Ship Uses Standoff Tactics, Inertialess AvailBits: AppearOn: OnPurchase: OnCapture: OnRetire:
Notes: When you see them in game, they are nearly invincible, so don't attack them. Their nanites will obliterate your ship in no time, as it skips past your shields and immediatly rips apart your armor.
