IND · Open Space
Independent (Universal)
Faction-neutral starter and utility hulls available to every commander regardless of allegiance. Universal ships carry no faction bonus or penalty — they are the common baseline from which specialised fleets are built.
Lore
Not every hull flies a faction banner. Universal designs are the open-standard ships of the galaxy — built from blueprints traded freely across every border, flown by independents, mercenaries, and first-time commanders alike.
Playstyle
Neutral baseline — no bonuses, no penalties. The starting point for new commanders before they pledge to a faction.
