Shipyard: Rebels
The Rebels are a rag-tag group of freedom fighters, sworn to do everything they can to take out the Confederacy. Since they don't have the backing of any huge corporation, they have to make do with what they can. As such, their ships aren't as powerful as their Confederate counterparts when you look at the stats, but they can hold their own in battle.

Manta | back to top |
|
When Astrotech Space Industries went bankrupt seven years ago, their remaining inventory of Model F-37B Manta light fighters was quietly bought up by an anonymous party. The Manta, heavily used by the Confederation during the early days of the Great War, has fallen out of favor with modern combateers due to its light armament. Recently, though, a Confederate freighter captain reported being attacked by several "triangular space fighters," suggesting that the Rebellion may be using these outdated but highly maneuverable ships to further its cause.

Weapons
1 Missle Rack
+ 1 Missile
3 Swivel Laser Cannons
|
EVula's Notes:
The Manta is a pathetic fighter. It is lightly armed and lightly defended, making it useless in one-on-one combat. Mildly effective in groups of 4, they are a nice compliment to the powerful Rebel Cruiser.

Destroyer | back to top |
|
When a team of defecting engineers from CDX Starworks approached the Rebel High Command with a unique proposal, the Rebel destroyer was born. Because of the fact that it is essentially a CDX Argosy with extra armor, uprated engines, and gun turrets, the destroyer is cheap to mass-produce. However, because it is still a freighter at heart, its performance is not up to the level of the Confederate frigate or the Atinoda Kestrel. Still, it remains an important part of the Rebel fleet.

Weapons
2 Torpedo Launchers
+ 10 Torpedos
2 Missle Racks
+ 10 Missiles
2 Proton Turrets
1 Rocket Launcher
+ 6 Rockets
|
EVula's Notes:
The Destroyer is, despite what the description says, very capible of taking out a Frigate, due mainly to its speed. This is a fast ship, when compared to other ships in its class. When 2 or 3 Destroyers are paired with 2 Cruisers, the effects can be devastating.

Cruiser | back to top |
|
Operating in secret and in the worst of conditions from bases on primitive backwater planets, the shipwrights of the Rebellion have crafted one of the most beautiful and lethal fighting ships in existence. The Rebel cruiser's circular engine-support pylons double as an external docking rack for its complement of Manta fighters; this unique arrangement allows the ship to launch its entire squadron of fighters almost simultaneously, giving it a great advantage in combat.

Weapons
2 Missle Racks
+ 20 Missiles
3 Proton Turrets
1 Manta Bay
+ 4 Mantas
1 Rocket Launcher
+ 8 Rockets
|
EVula's Notes:
By itself, the Rebel Cruiser isn't that hot of a ship. Capable of standing up to most ships, it really shines when it is used as a support craft for Rebel fleets. It is then that it can fire its many missiles, as well as deploy its 4 Mantas. In close range, it can use its proton turrets and rocket launchers to do even more damage.
