Built to survive in the harsh conditions of remote space, Border Worlds ships are some of the most widely used in Sirius, only being outnumbered by the line civilian ships, available throughout House space. Used by Unlawfuls, mercenaries, and freelancers alike, they have become symbols for trouble, as most people flying them will stop you for something more than just a chat. They are manufactured in a number of Shipyards around Sirius, and some factions have even developed their own derivative ships from the generic models, most notably the Outcasts and the Lane Hackers.

Fighters

These ships are seen all around Sirius being used by all kinds off people and factions as they are known for their reliability. Some factions, such as Lane Hackers have developed their own versions which are considered a sub-line to the Border World ship line.

Bombers

These are deployed when law enforcement start to bring gunboats or bigger to a fight, or when extra firepower is needed to take down some troublesome transports. In the case of the Outcasts, it is to pulverise the capital ships of the Corsairs in fearsome battle. In general, these ships are used to destroy bigger threats that fighters cannot handle. While the Falcata is also available to freelancers and mercenaries with good ties with the Outcasts, the Broadsword is restricted by the Lane Hackers.

Gunships and Gunboats

  • Note:Counting as an Outcast ship, Tridente was based upon the BW shipline, and as that deserves to be mention in this article.Even though the Tridente follows the traits of the BW shipline, the ship is Outcast-only. Reffer to the Tech Chart for further information.

When theres a need to gain the upper hand in a Fighter vs Fighter battles, Gunships and Gunboats are called in to deliver devastating amount of damage to Enemy fighters and absorb most of theirs. Gunships are Invaluable asset to any fleet. The Outcast Tridente, like any other Border worlds ship, is one of the most used gunboats around, utilized by Outcasts and some of their allies.
