Matter satellites are simple platforms of solar cells that are located in a high stationary orbit. They collect the sunlight and pass it on to the ground station via laser.
Drones are small, agile spy probes that deliver data over great distances on fleets and planets.
Vacant planets can be colonized with this ship.
The Merlin can get raw materials from debris fields.
Triton increase the production of metal, deuterium and Helium on their tasked planet by a very small fraction.
Odyssey are fast, spacious and can explore archeological sites or find more events on expeditions.
A ship of the Andromeda class is a mighty destructive instrument, which can plunder the debris fields immediately after battle.
Orbital structures are colossal constructions. Expensive and time-consuming to build or repair, these remarkable feats of engineering are nonetheless important wonders that provide large bonuses, demonstrating the technological and economic primacy of the builders' empire. All of them require a Orbital dock to be built.
The Supply freighter is an agile ship which can quickly transport resources to other planets.
Corvette is an agile ship, but it is also vulnerable. In mass numbers, these ships can become a great threat to any empire. They are the first to accompany small and large cargoes to hostile planets with minor defences.
The Vanguard is specialized in the interception of hostile fleets.

No one knows how old Qhaqax are. Some suppose they were made of energies from the dawn of the universe. Their ships of unknown living alloy strike fear into all they come across. It is rumored if defeated a tesseract containing energy from dawn of the universe can be captured.
Asuts and their burning hatred they hold for the Qhaqax destroying their homeworld is unforgivable. Some records say they were found inside of a dying star. Regardless, power of Asuts was incalculable. Beings of incredible raw energy. They dwarfed entire worlds,their conciusness too vast to even comprehend. Their unmatched weapons technology is something to behold!
Xovur were a peacefull and fragile race. Divided between many clans, their history of civil wars is longer then any care to remember. That was until they stumbled upon Qhaqax during early space colonization. Qhaqax saw them as an army they could use against Asuts and thus transforming them through some eldritch ritual into immortal alloy beings. In place of dieseased and fragile bodies came shells of living metal that united all clans. Through their transformation they were shackled to their masters,souls stripped away.
Zarkroids once a part of the now fallen Star Union were a type of next generation super soldier. But even they couldn't resist Xovur attack. They were created to defend Star Union from Xovur and Qhaqax. A race of clones unable to reproduce naturally, they turned to cybernetics to sustain their ravaged bodies. Oldest among them are more machine than man. To be captured by the Zarkroids assembly is to be newest adition to their ranks. Their ships are fastest in the galaxy.
A plague on the universe as Asuts scripts say. To them Simnids were an abomination, endless swarm of toxic insects united under overwhelming psionic hive mind. Presence of priceless neuro active substance sealed Simnids fate. Asuts armies fell upon their planet with the Simnid swarmes crushed beneath superior technology and strategy. Brainwashed by Asuts they now serve them as logistic and ground support in their wars. Their carapace hardened cargo ships are incredibly huge.
