in the universe. The ship has relatively little armor,
but the ships loadout usually includes Heat Seeking missles
- which can be dangerous to any ship. |

The Gladius combines good velocity and acceleration with
an effective and varied array of weapons. Its torpedoes
make it an effective fighter for combat against capital
ships. With its fairly strong blaster loadout and HS missiles,
the Gladius is a versatile dogfighting space craft. Due
to its maneuverability, it is hard to target the one accurately,
but a few targeted hits can easily pass through it's weak
shields. |

The Demon combines high velocities and powerful acceleration
with a wide array of deadly weapons. Its torpedo loadout
can take out capital ships like the Kamekh or Paradigm
with relative ease. If you are forced to fight the Demon
in a close dogfight, try to make a side attack on that
location’s weak armor. |

The Drayman is one of the most basic merchant ships you
are likely to encounter in the Gemini Sector. This spacecraft
is suitable for carrying cargo, but it is also extremely
vulnerable to attack. With poor acceleration, slow max
velocity and no afterburner power, this vessel can hardly
hope to evade any predator eager to take over some cargo. |

The Stiletto is the fastest ship in the Confederation
fleet. With an afterburner velocity of 1400 kps and excellent
maneuverability, it can evade even the swiftest Kilrathi
fighters. The Stiletto’s weakness lies in its extremely
flimsy armor and relatively light weapons loadout. |

The Broadsword is a commonly encountered Confederation
fighter. It is equipped with a deadly array of blasters
and several HS and FF missiles, which pose a severe threat
to any enemy that ventures to cross its path. The Broadsword’s
main weaknesses lie in its slow speed, low maneuverability
and limited acceleration powers.A side attack on the weaker
port and starboard armor is advisable. |

The Paradigm is one of the Confederations most advanced
destroyers. Featuring almost impregnable armor and shields,
it more than compensates for its lack of speed and maneuverability.
The Paradigm also has a deadly array of weapons at its
disposal, making an attack of any sort extremely dangerous.
It carries an astonishing variety of blasters, ranging
from meson blasters to ionic pulse cannon. |

Kilrathi fighters emphasize high velocity and maneuverability.
Similar to the Gothri, the Dralthi is designed in precisely
this manner. Excellent acceleration powers, powerful afterburners
and high velocities allow a Kilrathi pilot to close in
on his kill quickly and efficiently. This ship’s blaster
loadout is relatively weak. Even though the Dralthi carries
several missiles, Dumb Fires are more easily avoided than
guided missile systems. |

The Kilrathi Gothri can pose a very real threat to any
ship in the Gemini Sector. With its impressive acceleration,
it can reach high velocities. When you are facing a Gothri
in com-bat, you should concentrate on its weak armor.
A few well placed concentrated bursts of gunfire can severely
damage this fighter. However, the Gothri is very maneuverable,
which makes it hard to close in on. |

This imposing capital ship with its strong armor and heavy weapons load out is one of the most impressively designed spacecraft in the Gemini Sector. The Kamekh is not only equipped with a sophisticated arsenal of guns ranging from meson blasters to plasma cannon, but it can also effectively down enemy ships with its multiple missiles. |

Sold to the Retros by a Kilrathi captain, these are all outfitted with the stolen Steltek gun in Righteous Fire. These things are tough, especially with over 5 of them at once in the Eden system. Watch out for their shots - even though the power of the Steltek cannon has been been lowered since the original Privateer missions, it can still shred you to pieces quickly enough. The cannons are about a third as powerful. |

Enroute to the ambush site for the Steltek Drone, you
will meet this remnant of Steltek civilization. After
talking, the Steltek pilot will upgrade your Type 1 Steltek
gun to Type 2, giving it enough power to destroy the Drone.
In return, you should give him the location of the Steltek
Derelict. |

No combat, you need to speak with the ship and agree to
destroy the drone (and get the upgraded Steltek Type 2
gun). If, for some reason, you destroy this ship, you
will constantly be followed by an invincible Steltek Drone
and hunted by the Confed / Militia forces for being a
traitor (better reload an earlier game!). |
|
A guardian left by the Steltek race, the drone was designed
to guard - and destroy if needed - any relics of the civilization
that were left undestroyed. After retrieving the Steltek
Type 1 gun from the Derelict, the drone will chase you,
killing everything in its path. |

The shielding is Steltek technology, so neither the Confed

Type II gun carefully (you can only fire a few shots on
a full tank) to weaken the shields, then you can let loose
with everything on the armor. If you don't have the Steltek
Type II guns ... run! |
