=== Terran ===
Terran ships are ostensibly the standard by which other the races' ships are measured. Usually given high armor, medium-low damage and bad initiative, Terran is usually considered the easiest choice for new players.
 
=== Cathaar ===
 
Most Cathaar ships [[Ship Type#EMP|freeze]] the opponent's ships rather than destroy them, and generally have a slightly higher [[efficiency]] due to this.
 
=== Xandathrii ===
 
Xandathrii ships are cloaked.
 
Prior to [[round 10]] only pods showed up on the galaxy overview, and it was impossible to tell whether the fleet contained any other ships in, except by using a [[Waves|Military Scan]]. A good Xand player would generally have several fleets with the same amount of pods in each, and only the escort ships in one, thus making it impossible for the target to know whether the attack was real or fake.
 
=== Zikonian ===
 
Most Zikonian ships [[Ship Type#subversion|subvert]] their opponent's ships rather than killing them.
 
Prior to [[round 10]] Zikonian ships would [[Ship Type#steal|steal]] the ships permanently. In [[round 13]] Zikonian ships will do this again.
