A designation can be applied to any individual space teknology of any Class. These designations might refer to [[Epitek]] upgrades that any space vehicle or machine could be retrofitted to receive or to specific and significant functions any space teknology could be outfitted to perform. Whatever players can imagine applying, as a template, to any space tek, no matter how silly can serve as a designation.

Due to their size, starships can often become battlefields in their own right, if enemy minifigs get onboard.

The Assyrian Warship Sonks

Starships and their kind are the penultimate in common minifig teknology. These are vehicles and machines that are capable of taking the fight to the very stars themselves. With these ships, entire empires can comb the universe for ever more powerful, strange, and mysterious power sources and weapons. They can invade other worlds and do battle on colossal space stations. They can develop and mount ever larger weaponry and revel in its destructive power. Truly, expansion into space is the stuff of minifig imagination and it allows them to glory in all that they are at heart. Infinite space in which to build...and in which to destroy.

Constant exploration into unknown space and the paradigm shifting discoveries made there, the mercurial circumstances in the social universe combined with the ever more clever development of the Factions and Forces that influence it, and the universe recycling Rekonstruktions banishing teknologies to oblivion and bringing new ones previously unheard of to the fore all contribute to the vast number of starship classifications and designations in the BrikVerse. From escape pods and star fighters to capital ships and starbases and beyond, the BrikVerse knows no creative or destructive bounds and BrikWarriors are ever more inspired (and encouraged) to take to the heavens and do great justice to the inherent nature of the BrikWar.


Space Fighters

Swoosh! Pew pew!

Any decent space battle has a bunch of small fighters zipping about, some shooting each other, others going for bigger targets. Space fighters often bear some resemblance to atmospheric fighter planes, both in appearance and behaviour. Maneuvers like banks and barrel rolls are super cool, even if there is no air to support them. It's up to you what balance of zero-gravity-vacuum-of-space-physics and atmospheric-flight-physics apply in any given moment.

Starships

These are the big guys. Lumbering about the battlefield of space, and blasting the hell out of the enemy with heavy weaponry. The exact size where a fighter becomes a starship is fuzzy, but it's probably where you stop going "Swoosh!" when moving it, and instead start making rumbly engine noises.

Due to their size, starships can often become battlefields in their own right, if enemy minifigs get onboard. This is very cool, especially if they manage to seize control of the ship and turn it against its former comrades! When preparing for a space battle, you should always consider making some dedicated boarder squads (and a way to get them to the enemy ships).

Space Stations

Space is kinda empty. Space stations help bring some flair to a space battlefield as large, essentially immobile features. They are good for housing objectives and NPC factions, or serving as a base for a player's faction.

This article has a lack of pictures of cool space stations. You can help out by uploading one today!
