Figures marked as alpha values are proposals still being balanced and will change during the closed alpha.

Shared standards

One mount, one crate, eight sizes

S1–S8

One mount, any gun

Ship weapons come in eight sizes, S1 to S8: five types — laser repeater, railgun repeater, ballistic repeater, ballistic cannon and laser cannon — in three models each. Every size shares one standard mount, part of the MMU (Matriz de Manufactura Unificada), so any weapon fits any hardpoint of its size without touching the ship. Weapons are generic: no house branding.

MS-1–MS-8

Missiles by size

Missiles follow the same S1 to S8 sizes (MS-1 to MS-8). Ships fire them in salvos from launchers built into the hull and carry their reserve aboard.

1 UU = 1.5 m³

The universal unit

All cargo moves in crates of one unit, the UU: 1.5 m³, a 1.145 m cube, the same for every ship built to the MMU standard. Bigger crates are whole multiples — 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 UU — and every hold is counted on its real floor, under its real ceiling, with the aisle kept clear.

William's · XASTER line

William's

A shipyard lineage of Solmera that the MMU still builds, and a pattern house that signs every hull. The XASTER line carries one set of lines from a 5.8 m escort snub to a 21 m heavy patrol ship with a turret and a galley.

William'sPattern house
At William's we don't build ships. We build the exact feeling of being in command.
Five sizes. One bloodline.
  • One line planSix character lines run from bow to stern and never break. Sculpted nose, wedge canopy, shoulders that land on the wing, a stern that shows what pushes it — on the smallest ship and on the largest.
  • Nothing is decorationEvery panel covers something, every nozzle pushes. Fairings are layered over real structure, with visible gaps where the machinery shows.
  • Marked, never squareCrisp character lines and creases, large panels, no flat vertical walls: sporty, luxurious and military at once.
  • Measured for peopleEvery hatch, seat and control is tested with occupants from 1.65 to 1.85 m.
  • Numbers you can checkEvery figure on a William's spec sheet comes from a rule that can be verified.
  • Generic guns, one mountWeapons carry no house branding and use the standard MMU mount: any weapon of the right size fits without touching the ship.

Challenger · ALPHA line

Challenger

Industrial, heavy and honest: the house of field cargo. The ALPHA M is an armed cargo dropship with a 64 UU hold, sliding side doors, a rear ramp and enough teeth to keep the drop zone quiet.

ChallengerPattern house
  • Structure you can seeA skeleton clad in components: layered white panels with thickness, chamfer and joints over a dark frame that shows between them. Nothing is a solid block.
  • Cargo comes firstHolds are delivered empty on the UU grid — flush floor, flush tie-downs, painted markings — ready for whatever the job brings.
  • Heavy where it mattersOversized landing legs, big integrated engines and doors that slide into the hull instead of hanging off it.
  • People aboardA real bed and a wet cell sized for the crew, even on a working ship.
  • Wear with a causePaint chips where hands, boots and cargo touch; rust spots where water runs; nothing random.

MVG Aerospace · RVN-1000T

MVG Aerospace

The house is gone; its hulls are not. Designed for the military security of the Flota Aura before the war, every Revenant now flies on its second life with its own maintenance record: 358 UU, sixteen jump seats and guns at every angle.

MVG AerospaceExtinct house
Built for a higher tomorrow.
The Revenant no longer needs to be the most modern ship to still have a purpose.
  • Modular by designCustomers ordered specific configurations from the factory, and certain modifications were made later: no two units are quite the same.
  • Made to stay in serviceRobust, adaptable designs that remain useful long after they stop being cutting-edge.
  • Two-layer constructionA graphite skeleton with grey hull plates over it: real plating with thickness, joints and chamfers.
  • Function firstTactical transport with fire support: cargo and crew first, armament to protect them.
  • A record instead of a sealWith the house gone, no one homologates its hulls: each one carries its own maintenance record.

Closed alpha

The hangar is open.

The first closed alpha wave lands in winter 2026-2027 and applications are open now. Apply for your key: the pilots who get in help shape what comes next.

The ships in this hangar are still in development. What each alpha wave includes will be announced in the alpha notes.
