	Squadrons ~~are like currency to the Alien Hives. Between all the upgrades that allow~~ you to ~~control them, upgrades that sacrifice them and~~ Mother Ship ~~allowing~~ you to spawn ~~them, you can do an astounding lot with those small ships -~~ more ~~than probably any other army out there~~.		'''Pros:'''

			* Lots of uses for your squadrons.

			'''Cons:'''

			* Your unique squadrons die immediately.
			* Several of your abilities require Squadrons as ammunition, so you'll need either a lot of them or to buy Mother Ship so you can spawn more.

			* '''Matriarch Ship:''' It's a huge ship with one major issue: It has no turret to speak of. Instead, you're given an extra upgrade slot (5 over the Cruiser's 4), so you'll need to buy extra guns if you want to stand a chance in combat.
			* '''Harvester Ship:''' It's pretty much the generic Cruiser, but it's cheaper on account of sacrificing an upgrade slot.

	===Medium Ships===		===Medium Ships===

			* '''Administrator Ship:''' This particular variant of the Destroyer has its own unique rule which makes it count as two ships for the sake of Morale checks. Very handy if you're keeping it protected, but do expect enemies to fire any Sniper weapons at it for an easier victory.
			* '''Guardian Ship:''' A Destroyer Variant that costs as much as a generic Corvette thanks to sacrificing an upgrade slot. If you're looking for a well-protected battleship, then you've got a good one right here.

	===Light Ships===		===Light Ships===

			* '''Warrior Ship:''' This variant of the Corvette has a 5+ Evasion, making it a little harder to hit than most ships of its types.
			* '''Worker Ship:''' A dirt-cheap Corvette that only has one upgrade available to it. If you just need cheap Constriction kamikazes or stray guns, you've got the ship right here.

==Special Rules==

==Heroes==
*'''Infinite Adaptation:''' Whenever this ship activates, it can shift a weapon onto an unassigned facing. Helpful if you're trying to keep a key weapon focused onto an enemy, but this will run into issues if you lack a free facing to move it to.
*'''Mother Ship:''' Allows this ship to spawn two units of Broodling Squadrons each activation. Excellent for you if you're planning on making a particular ship the main focus since those Broodlings will take all the fire.
*'''Tyrant Champion:''' This ship gets +4 to hit and +4 Strength when attacking enemy heroes. Very important if said hero's going to be an heavy ship.

==Titles==
*'''Chameleon Shroud:''' So long as this ship doesn't take any damage, all enemies take -1 to hit it. Good idea if you're keeping this particular ship far from the thick of battle.
*'''Specialised:''' This ship's turret gains either Anti-Ship or Anti-Squadron.
*'''Symbiosis:''' This ship counts as being a squadron with the Shielder rule. Handy if you're trying to make a heavy ship into a distraction.
