Fighter Drones
7 drones
Plasma Hornet
The Plasma Hornet is a compact attack drone designed for carrier-based operations, swarming enemy hulls with rapid plasma bursts. It excels in coordinated assault runs where mass numbers overwhelm point-defence grids.
Carrier
3 ships · max 12/carrier
Void Needle
The Void Needle operates under a stealth dampening field, making it nearly invisible to standard sensor arrays until it is already firing. Its high attack output and stealth approach make it the preferred strike drone of the Void Syndicate's elite carrier wings.
Carrier
3 ships · max 8/carrier
Solar Lance
An exclusive Solar Empire design, the Solar Lance channels concentrated photonic energy into a sustained beam weapon that melts through even reinforced hull plates. Only Solar Empire carriers are fitted with the resonance emitters required to synchronise its weapon cycle.
Carrier
2 ships · max 6/carrier
Lightning Striker
Fast attack drone with overclocked kinetic weapons. Sacrifices HP for raw damage output. Best deployed in tight escort formations where support drones can compensate for its fragility.
Carrier
3 ships · max 10/carrier
Phantom Interceptor
The apex combat drone used only by Void Syndicate elite carriers. Phase-shifted for partial invisibility, it's nearly impossible to shoot down before it fires. Its quantum-phase drive allows it to slip between sensor wavelengths, delivering devastating strikes before enemy point-defense can even lock on.
Carrier
2 ships · max 5/carrier
Kamikaze Drone
Self-destructs on target for massive damage. A cheap, expendable drone loaded with concentrated explosive that detonates on contact. Deployed in waves to overwhelm point-defense through sheer numbers.
Carrier
3 ships · max 20/carrier
Nova Burst Drone
An upgraded kamikaze drone fitted with a nova-burst warhead that detonates in a searing shockwave, catching everything in its blast radius. Ideal for clearing tight enemy formations or denying chokepoint lanes.
Carrier
3 ships · max 12/carrier
Bomber Drones
3 drones
Impact Crawler
A slow, heavily armoured bombing drone built to absorb defensive fire long enough to deliver its payload directly onto a target's hull. Its low speed is compensated by exceptional durability and a devastating short-range detonation charge.
Carrier
2 ships · max 8/carrier
Antimatter Drop
The Antimatter Drop carries a micro-containment vessel filled with raw antimatter, releasing a catastrophic area explosion on impact that can cripple entire formation wings. Its slow approach speed demands a coordinated escort screen, but the destruction it delivers is unmatched in the bomber class.
Carrier
2 ships · max 4/carrier
Siege Hammer Drone
Massive armored drone carrying a siege-grade explosive. Slow but devastating against planetary installations and capital ships. Its reinforced frame can withstand sustained turret fire long enough to deliver its payload at point-blank range.
Carrier
2 ships · max 3/carrier
Mining Drones
7 drones
Ore Picker
The Ore Picker is the standard entry-level mining drone, deployed from mining bases to harvest surface-level asteroid deposits. It is inexpensive, easily replaceable, and gets the job done on common ore fields.
Carrier
Base onlyDeep Mole
Equipped with seismic pulse drills and a reinforced chassis, the Deep Mole bores into the dense core layers of asteroids and moons to access rare mineral deposits that surface-level drones cannot reach. Its advanced sensor package automatically identifies and flags previously unknown deposit pockets.
Carrier
Base onlyCrystal Harvester
Specialized mining drone with crystal-tuned extraction lasers. More efficient than Ore Pickers on crystal deposits. Its frequency-matched laser array resonates at the exact lattice frequency of crystalline formations for maximum yield.
Carrier
Base onlyGas Siphon Drone
Atmospheric extraction drone for gas giant operations. Equipped with pressure-hardened collection tanks. Its thermo-resistant hull allows it to descend into the upper cloud layers of gas giants where conventional drones would be crushed.
Carrier
Base onlyAntimatter Collector
Highly specialized drone that harvests raw antimatter from gas giant atmospheres. Requires antimatter extraction unlock. Its magnetic containment bottles must be handled with extreme care, making this one of the most expensive drones to field and replace.
Carrier
Base onlySalvage Collector
Deployed after a battle to scour the debris field for recoverable resources. It claws through wrecked hulls and scattered cargo, returning a portion of the battle's resource cost to your base stores. An essential tool for commanders who fight expensive wars.
Carrier
Base onlyDeep Salvage Drone
An advanced salvage platform with reinforced cutting arms and a rare-component identification matrix. It recovers twice as much material as the basic Salvage Collector and can extract intact subsystems from enemy wrecks for direct reuse or lucrative sale on the open market.
Carrier
Base onlyRepair Drones
2 drones
Nano Swarm
A dense cloud of microscopic repair bots that autonomously crawl across hull surfaces, sealing breaches and welding stress fractures in real time. The Nano Swarm is the standard repair solution for mid-tier fleets operating without dedicated repair ships.
Carrier
4 ships · max 6/carrier
Void Medic
The Void Medic combines high-output hull reconstruction with an integrated shield emitter that feeds energy back into the target vessel's deflector grid. It is the most advanced repair drone available on the open market and is a staple in any serious carrier group.
Carrier
4 ships · max 4/carrier
Scout Drones
3 drones
Shadow Eye
The Shadow Eye is a long-range reconnaissance drone that extends a fleet's sensor footprint far beyond standard detection radii. Its passive emission profile keeps it largely undetectable during extended patrol sweeps.
Carrier
4 ships · max 4/carrier
Quantum Lens
The Quantum Lens uses a probability-collapsed sensor array to detect the quantum displacement signatures that cloaking fields inevitably generate, stripping away stealth concealment regardless of the technology used. Fleets equipped with this drone become deeply uncomfortable places for Void Syndicate infiltrators to operate.
Carrier
4 ships · max 2/carrier
Wraith Probe
A cloaked deep-reconnaissance probe built to operate in the lightless dark-zones where ordinary scout drones are blinded and lost. Its dampened emission profile and dark-zone-tuned sensors let it slip into hostile or anomalous regions, gather intelligence, and return without ever revealing the fleet that launched it.
