Capital Ship Killer

Level the
playing field

Violence is on the rise across the empire. Outlaws are better equipped than we ever imagined, and the threat of pirate raids increases daily. We can find ourselves wondering where to turn.


Crusader has the answer.

  • guns

    Laser

    1X S7

    The SF7E laser cannon is built for the long-range engagement of large and capital-class spacecraft. Its precise laser rounds hit hard to disable the shields of enemy vessels and leave them vulnerable to direct attack from a supporting fleet.

  • missiles

    4X S5

    The Ion comes equipped with an impressive array of missiles courtesy of four S5 mounts. Two are modular, allowing for maximum versatility and customized loadouts to suit the task at hand.

  • shields

    3X S2

    The Ion amps up defense with a third shield generator to keep it attacking for longer. Pick off chaperones or whittle down shields at distance with the confidence that comes from extra hull protection.

  • power

    2X S2

    To support its significant energy needs, the Ion features an auxiliary powerplant. Along with the SF7E laser cannon, it supplies an additional shield generator that grants increased overall protection.

  • Why We Feel It’s Time for

    the Ares

    Our universe, for all its beauty, is too often cruel and unforgiving. At Crusader, we've always prided ourselves on staying connected to the pulse of the galaxy and, while we celebrate the wonders and resources of the Stanton system, we cannot ignore the continuing rise of local crime, trafficking, and piracy.

    Partnering with Behring, we've crafted the SF7 weapon series and the Ares - the intimidating greatsword and the deft hand that wields it. Designed as the ultimate large ship hunter, the mere presence of an Ares in your fleet will cause vehicles of any class to think twice before causing trouble.
