LORE BEHIND SHIPYARD:
Floating about in space is a Factory for Fighters. One that was made to pump out a whole lot of fighters every day. This Shipyard is Named the Novros. Once owned by the Nanovore Fleet, a faction about creating the Largest Squadron Possible, They were assimilated in a Semi-Aggressive Conflict. This was expected, as the Nanovores were Expansionists. In the end, the Interior council had to go. Now, The Novros is owned by B.L.A.D.E., Pumping out hundreds of fighters a Day...
LIGHT CLASS: FIGHTERS UNDER 100K CREDITS.
Light Fighters are More than Common sights In any B.L.A.D.E. Fleet, creating the Flexible Backbone of a task force that is a Squadron. They are cheap to produce, but they also go down like flies in combat. But, with the Invention of the S.O.S. Teleporter, Crew Causalities are no longer a Concern, Making Piloting fighters a Great, Almost Risk free work Option.

Mass: 23.8 Tonnes
Crew: 1 Pilot, 3 Supporting Crew (4 Crew Total)

The Mobile Projector was created to be a Flexible, Cheap Fighter meant for defense. Should a Ship be taking a beating, Mobile projectors could fly in to prevent further damage. However, They have VERY limited offensive Capabilities, with merely one Laser Turret onboard. The Mobile Projector was made to work in swarms, as a lone ship is quite weak. We recently made Improvements to the Design, making it more agile and Flexible when it comes to movement. We also upgraded it's controls to become more Responsive. Overall, This ship was with us from the very beginning, and even today it proves to be effective at Defending Larger ships.

This Design may be Many Centuries old, But It still works wonders in combat, even to this day. The Controls are Awkward though, Needing Flaming Gloves to operate for whatever reason...

Value: 78,900 Credits
Napalm. A Controversial weapon. Ever since the Vietnam War, the weapon has proven to be horrendous, lethal, and.... Messy.

However, In the year 2043, It was Re-Enstated under the Resscheit War Laws, Stating that The Napalm used must immediately cause death, as to prevent Unnecessary Suffering. Cross Mining Co. Happened to have an Abnormally large supply of it when Earth was Destroyed. Originally not using it, When the Voidians appeared they Decided to use it in their First Premiere War-Only Fighter. However, the Voidians never came to attack them. Now, In B.L.A.D.E., we banned the Use of the Controversial weapon, and Instead use regular Incendiary rounds with the new, Improved N'Palmer.

However, the Zenioth finally Made improvements to the Ship with Assistance from B.L.A.D.E., Creating the Amazingly Maneuverable Sheriff Fighter. The Reactor inside it is no longer Horrifically Crude, and is instead State-of-the-Art in nature, meaning no more Ship imploding. And, With a huge upgrade to It's Engines and Weaponry, It dominates in any Dogfight, and does even better in Head-to-Head combat, With it's Electro-Bolts tearing through shields, and it's Laster Turrets bringing on the Precision Punishment. Generally, Avoid this fighter in combat if you know what's good for you...

The Underworld Assault was created to Root out scum while looking the part, Clearing a Star System of smaller Scum Ships within Minutes, Opening a Path for More Obvious ships to destroy the Rest of the system's criminals. It doesn't perform well in Fleets, However, and it is recommended you call it back to B.L.A.D.E. Territory after the Smaller ships have been destroyed.

They have an Interesting "Symbiotic" Relationship with the Jethar Mercenary Group, Competing in Friendly Bounty Hunting Competition. In these events, they have a Slight glimmer of Playfulness, but usually they try to be strict in combat. It is tradition for them to mark themselves with the Faction they're Serving alongside, as they are Honourable yet Childish. It is a Means to Express their Creativity, But they also act as one at the same time.
NANOLASER CUTTER MK III V2

Spectra Workers are highly docile, and prefer mining. They are so shy that sometimes they are scared when asteroids move slightly.

SPECTRA PROSPECTOR

They manage the tasks of fellow Workers and Hunters, under command from Templar and the Queen. Given, despite their Local Control Role, Prospectors are Lethal in combat as a close range Ramming ship, Slicing through the opposition with it's Ion beams.

ZENIOTH PROXY PROBE V2
Mass: 111.3 Tonnes
Crew: 20 Supporting Droids
Value: 127,950 Credits
The Zenioth are Talented Creators of Artificial Intelligences, to the Point where there machines actually seem alive. Until today, Zenioth AI were always very playful in nature. When it comes to the new and Improved Proxy Probe... It still is. Proxies are made to annoy enemies with their red colouration, as many species are naturally more aggressive when spying the colour. This Psychological warfare was applied to actual warfare through the probe, which harasses a larger enemy ship by poking it with it's Ion Beam. As it messes about, the enemy is bound to get angered by it, trying to hunt it down instead of focusing on the bigger picture. Generally a very devious ship, yet also fun to watch when it isn't copying the Scavengers via laser sticks.
DIRK CLASS BROADSIDE FIGHTER
Mass: 164.9 Tonnes
Crew: 1 Pilot, 23 Supporting Crew (24 Crew Total)
Value: 138,700 Credits
The Dirk Class was created for larger Battles, as a Dual Broadside Brute, heavily armoured yet nimble in combat. It's purpose in any large fight is to fly into an enemy fleet and let loose hell, made not as a precision ship, but as a Distraction fighter meant for Area Damage, such as ones you'd see in a sci-fi movie. Thankfully, these fights happen a lot even in this grand year 2066. It is also much more effective than most fighters, as it applies to the older model of what we thought a Starfighter would look like in real life, before the ships of the Grand year 2050 Came. That year changed everything. Also, no, This was not meant to be inappropriate! Seriously, It's just a Very unfortunate coincidence...

Even before B.L.A.D.E. was formed, we knew the sheer Lethality of the Jethar by hiring them to Clean up the first recorded Corruption Infestation at Alpha Conuss X, To which they did immensely quickly. In fact, Their Pilots in Training now do a virtual version of that Exact mission to Graduate. Generally, they may be scum, but that doesn't mean they're disgusting. (Also, The Jethar as a faction, as well as it's first ships, were Created by my Brother. Kudos to him!)

Mass: 132.6 Tonnes
Crew: 2 Pilots, 22 Supporting Crew (24 Crew Total)
Value: 161,875 Credits
The original Cross Mining Cooperation Cutter was created to cut chunks of asteroids for Collectors to pick up. However, The Collector was faulty in nature, resulting in it being scrapped. However, the Cutter still worked fine, so Cross Mining Co. Decided to use the Cutters as Sentries, Detecting enemies before they'd arrive to destroy a Mining Ground. Now, in B.L.A.D.E., They serve a similar purpose, but we decided to upgrade the Cutters. Now, Instead of having only one Laser Turret, it now has Three, as well as a Larger Rear thruster to fly in reverse.

Generally, It's highly Flexible on the battlefield, able to deal with foes of any size effectively. Despite being quite expensive, it makes up for it's costs with Flexibility. Any good Admiral knows the value of a Good Bomber, and there is no Bomber on the market with tighter Controls than the BV1.
Alas, That Summarizes the models produced at the Novros Shipyards. Even to this day, It pumps out fighters faster than anybody can say Novros. The Shipyard is highly renowned for it's state-of-the-art Technology, and yet there is so much more to improve... In the Future, One can Imagine that it'll still be operating... Even if at less efficiency.
