Size 0 creatures are called Vermin. They are very small and weak creatures but can gain strength in numbers, ganging up in [[Swarm]]s and combining their stings and bites into lethal damage. Vermin are treated as essentially without mass and so can climb vertical or inverted surfaces with no problem, are immune to falling damage, and can be easily wielded by [[minifigs]].

In game, vermin are typically represented with one-piece pre-molded animals and the like.

Unliving creatures are animate things that are not alive. They do not possess a [[LifeForce]]. While still vulnerable to normal damage, Unliving creatures are unaffected by certain forces that can have a damaging or controlling effect on living creatures, such as suffocation, poison, or psychological manipulation.

Undead are Unliving creatures one step more removed from living creatures, going so far as to possess an [[anti-LifeForce]] which reverses many of the effects a living creature might benefit or suffer from.

Thralls are the expendable characters used by [[Master]]s as servants and sacrifices. Some Thralls are happy to serve and happier to give their lives for their beloved leaders; others are loathe to do so but labor under some unnatural control possessed by their Master. Mechanically, Thralls exist for the sole purpose of being Sacrificed to give their Master a temporary benefit. This Sacrifice can happen in three essential ways: the Master can do the deed himself, the Thrall can be "inspired" to RedShirt to save the Master from harm, or the Thrall's death energies can be harnessed in some way by the Master when the Thrall is targeted instead.

Masters are powerful leaders in the [[BrikVerse]], holding sway over a horde of personal minions called [[Thrall]]s. The method of control and the type of these creatures is left entirely to the [[Player]]'s imagination. The identifying aspect of the relationship is the Master's ability to Sacrifice those under his command for some temporary benefit. Masters tend to be dynamic characters. While most come pre-equipped with natural Thralls, some Masters (such as the SuperNatural variety) have the ability to create more Thralls or convert enemy minifigs into Thralls.

Constructs are creatures whose bodies comprise multiple modular parts that can haphazardly be hotswapped in and out. Usually, Constructs are also [[Unliving]] but this is not a requirement. BrikWars' multi-genre design allows for any number of possibilities that might explain such a creature's biological makeup. Constructs are an interesting mirror to the BrikVerse itself, a composite of splintered parts that do not have to adhere to any logikal design. All that matters is that the parts are connected. In fact, the 2010 ruleset even goes so far as to represent that mechanically, giving Constructs a Connection Strength rather than an Armor Rating. Enemies wishing to destroy a Construct must do so by the unconventional means of knocking the parts away from one another.

Cannon Fodder are the infinite minions of the enemy or the hordes of civilians that stand in the path of destruction. Their sole purpose is to be slaughtered endlessly and, hopefully, in the most humorous way possible. [[Tactikal]] commanders will use Fodder to their advantage, having them draw fire away from important and capable units so that even more destruction may be had. Sometimes, a [[Hero]] will arise from their ranks, first becoming a fully fledged [[Minifig]], but mostly Fodder are happy to die horribly and often, drowning battlefields everywhere in their blood.

Fodder are cheap units, mechanically, and are equipped with equally cheap weaponry called Mook Weapons. They appear in endless streams on battlefields pouring out from objects called Spawners.

Some characters in the [[BrikVerse]] are gifted with extraordinary powers called SuperNatural Abilities. These powers enable them to accomplish incredible feats far beyond the ken of their MerelyNatural counterparts, defying the very forces that hold the BrikVerse together or twisting them to achieve their own ends. Since BrikWars is concept inclusive and multi-genre, these SuperNatural Abilities run the gamut from [[Magik]] to high [[Science]] to SuperHeroic and anything else a [[Player]] can imagine. Virtually any descriptor can apply due to the incredibly open ended nature of the system, as presented in the 2010 ruleset.

Under those rules, characters buy a certain number of different die types using Construction Points. These dice may only be spent in such a way that satisfies their SuperNatural Cliche, the basic descriptors that narratively define the character's powers. When they are spent, they are used to create SuperNatural Effects by manipulating key rules concepts like Range, Damage, Armor, Movement, Skill, and Mind. Spent SuperNatural Dice return to the character at the beginning of their next turn but SuperNatural characters can create persistent effects by leaving the dice in place, thus losing access to them in the meantime. Completing the subsystem is an innovative feature where SuperNatural fumbles create sabotage dice which can be turned against the SuperNatural Character by the opposing player.

An astonishing variety of creatures inhabit the BrikVerse and all that it interacts with. Many of those creatures have predecessors, associated sub-species, mutations, suffer from transmutative afflictions, or are subject to any number of other alterations. Some maintain sentience while some are monsters or animalistic.

The very idea of property rights and ownership is an almost patently laughable concept in the [[BrikVerse]]. Much of the universe itself is an exercise in fair parody. Everything in it is fair game to those with the will and the strength to take it and the sense of humor necessary to understand it. Originally coined by the [[Space Mafia]] Mobfather [[Scratch]], the phrase is used to redefine any object, material, or power as now belonging to another, usually by way of violence. Since then, a number of other BrikVersian Archetypes, most notably the [[Space Pirates]], have taken to obtaining and using Open Sores Materials whenever possible.

The BrikVerse contains within itself and from other dimensions comes quite frequently into contact with a ridiculous number of items, elements, materials, forces, powers, and abstract concepts. These materials and phenomena have a profound impact on the universe and its inhabitants. Galaxy wide conflicts can break out over the ability to control just one of them and the use of some have deeply historical consequences.

Factions and Forces

2013-03-08T18:25:34Z

Quantumsurfer:

Many factions and civilizations exist in the [[BrikWars Universe|BrikVerse]]. Here, they are organized by relative size and function. There is often overlap...some corporations are larger than entire nations, for example...so where a faction does not fit by size, it is placed by closest concept.

== Dominions & Empires ==

Dominions and Empires represent the largest factions. Their governing bodies rule over everything from nations to continents, from a single planet to several in a system, or from a region of space to a galaxy or more. They represent the biggest ideas or capabilities [[Inhabitants of the Universe|BrikWarrior]]s have, either in concept or in literal bricks.

[[Assyrian Star Empire]]

[[The Kingdom of Avalon]]

[[The Avokhan Empire]]

[[The Nations of Brikrigton]]

[[Briktopia]]

[[Brittanian League]]

[[Canadia Star Legion]]

[[Coalition of AJAX-4]]

[[Pwnie]]s

[[Republic of Independent Nations]]

[[The Great Scythian Empire]]

[[The Police State of Venice]]

[[Vergilius Raskolnikov]]

[[Zeitgeisteskrankheit]]

== Civilizations ==

Civilizations are very large groups, often singularly governed, which are smaller than empires or have less power or influence. These may be cities, states, territories, very small nations, or particularly large cultures. These represent middle sized BrikWarrior armies and ideas and are often more focused on massed forces than individual characters.

Farce

2013-03-08T18:24:40Z

Quantumsurfer:

The Farce is a humor field that powers the [[BrikVerse]] and binds it together. It is created by all laughing things, and disrupted by [[anorak]]s. Some societies and organizations think of the Farce as a non-corporeal sentient entity that might be capable of intelligent thought, while others simply consider it something to be manipulated and used as though it were a tool.

The Farce potential of an individual is measured in sentient creatures by their mini-clown count. (Mini-clowns are exactly the same size as regular minifigs, but with their mini-clown-car powers they are able pack large numbers into a single minifig.) Mini-clowns continually speak to minifigs, telling them the will of the Farce in the form of jokes of varying quality. When minifigs' minds are quiet they hear the mini-clowns speaking a lot, so Farce-sensitive minifigs constantly strive for greater stupidity and mindlessness, especially by taking part in violence and mayhem.

Minifigs with ability in the Farce can use it to alter reality to become much funnier. LiteSide, SnarkSide, and DimSide Farce users use the Farce to gain power, although in different ways.

LiteSide users, who often join the ranks of the [[LegitEye Knights]], use their powers to entertain everyone with hilarious situations, such as cutting people's limbs off and saying things like "Speak weirdly I do not!" and "Making fun of me you should stop!" They are known for preaching that anything is funny "from a certain point of view."

SnarkSide Farce users, by contrast, are mostly interested in entertaining themselves. They use their powers to frustrate and humiliate others, doing such things as cutting off their oxygen, electrocuting them, and telling jokes that no one else thinks are funny. [[DarkTron]] Lords dress entirely in black and wear masks or opaque visors, because victims find the lack of face disturbing.

The unfortunate third group of Farce users, the DimSiders, tap into the Farce through their own unwitting stupidity. Once they start down that dumb path, forever does it dimminate their destiny, cursing them to a life of comic relief as mindless puppets of the DimSide. Blessed with Dimmy Strength and a thick-headed invulnerability against forces of logic, they are sometimes able to eke out brief careers as jesters, town fools and politicians. Inevitably the DimSide consumes them, and they join the mindless ranks of the [[Dimmies]].

Farce users are often [[Hero]]es. In fact, the Farce is usually what makes a minifig into a hero, whether or not they realize it. A user of the Farce is able to perform heroic feats such as telepathy, psychokinesis, and enhanced physical and metaphysical perception. The Farce can be used to bend the will of weak-minded beings and guide an adept's body. Users who were very good at using the Farce can cease merely reacting to their surroundings and actually predict events in the very near future, such as the next blow in a duel, by using their sixth sense of humor and thinking "wouldn't it be funny if." The Farce can be used to defuse situations, or to shock victims like lightning. There are as many different groups of users and views of the Farce as there are uses of the Farce itself.

Space Vehicles and Machines

2013-03-08T08:03:59Z

Quantumsurfer:

[[File:Sonks.jpg|400px|thumb|right|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 [[empire]]s 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 station]]s. 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 Teknology Class ==

Space Teknologies are grouped into general families of designs, or Classifications, for ease of reference. These Classes are not hard and fast, of course. With so many factions in the universe, some are bound to deviate from the standard somewhat. Where this is the case, their classifications will be included with their [[faction]] entry. Within some Classifications exist a breakdown of various Specifications, design specs which are divergent from the main design of the Class but which remain highly similar in theme or component.

=== Starships ===

Starships comprise the largest category of Space Teknologies. There are a great deal of Starship Classes and Specifications, running the gamut from one man craft all the way up through and beyond city sized space craft. All Starships are space worthy and vehicular in nature, capable of movement among the stars. While some are also capable of atmospheric flight, the aforementioned traits are the primary identifiers of Starships.

====Fighter Class====

Fighter Starships, or Starfighters, are small, self propelled combat space craft, usually armed with an array of heavy weaponry suitable for space combat, shielded or lightly armored, and powered by high energy but short term power sources. These ships are typically designed for fast, short range space combat and are almost always found scrambling from carriers, bases, or stations. Groupings of Fighter Specifications are often given the size designation.

=====Interceptor=====

Interceptor Starfighters are the most common fighters, representing a balance of offensive and defensive abilities and self sufficiency. Interceptors are single engagement ships, built for the singular purpose of short range combat. These ships intercept other ships and so may find themselves fulfilling both offensive and defensive roles. They are the cheapest ships, usually, to build being, also usually, the smallest. Their small size combined with their high energy consumption, however, keep them fairly tethered to a fuel source, typically a larger carrier-type ship.

File:CrisisU4.jpg|''Crinis-U4''
</gallery>

=====Strike=====

Strike Fighters are slightly more self sufficient than their Interceptor cousins and are typically loaded down with a heavier array of devastatingly offensive weaponry. Strike Fighters are built to be fast, heavy hitting warships capable of ranging out to a mildly distant target. They are also a good deal larger than most Starfighters, in order to compensate for the advanced weapons systems, but aren't usually better shielded or armored. They are described often as "flying guns."

File:USAConsulStrikeFighter.jpg|''USA "Consul" Strike Fighter''
</gallery>

=====Reconnaissance=====

Recon Fighters are extremely long range ships that tend to sacrifice both offensive and defensive capabilities in favor of higher fuel capacity, stealth systems, and staggering amounts of high-end surveillance equipment.

====Tactical Class====

Tactical Ships fulfill a specific role within a fleet or battlegroup. They are often small to medium sized self propelled space craft armed, armored, and equipped variably to assist their assigned function. Tactical Ships are almost always self sufficient, being the backbone of most operations.

=====Cutter=====

Cutter Starships are the ultimate in practical serviceability, designed to fulfill a variety of support roles from minor escort to transport (ferrying cargo/personnel from ship to ship or base). Cutters are light and fast and, as such, serve well on patrol or in raids.

=====GunBoat=====

Sometimes also called sloops-of-war, the term GunBoat is a sort of catchall classification for all smaller warships that don't fulfill a specific function. GunBoats are far and away the single most common Tactical Class Starship in the [[BrikVerse]]. They are the filler for most fleets. Usually thick ships with solid armoring or shielding, GunBoats are also laden with a lot of big guns and tons of transport space (usually reserved for troops). They are, however, typically lumbering and slow.

File:ImmortalDarkStarHeavyBomberGunboat.jpg|''Immortal DarkStar Heavy Bomber Gunboat''
</gallery>

=====Corvette=====

Corvette Starships are larger and heavily crewed but are also highly speedy and maneuverable. Corvettes serve almost exclusively as patrol craft, monitoring territorial borders and various zones in space of strategic value. Thanks to their high self sufficiency, large crew compliment, and relative speed, these vessels sometimes serve as exploration ships. These ships are highly prized by minifigs and members of a faction's space corps are always ecstatic to receive posting on one. Corvettes are almost universally equipped with boarding teknology, allowing minifigs to take the fight to one another even in the depths of space and capture one another's vessels on their own terms.

=====Carrier=====

Carrier Starships are vessels that have been built primarily for transportation, whether of cargo or personnel. They are heavily armored and shielded but typically maintain only defensive weaponry. Carriers are often large creations, the better to hold more cargo space but also to maintain their massive engines. The most effective Carriers are also relatively fast, if not maneuverable, so that they may get into combat or away from it in time. Small Carriers are sometimes called Dropships, whereas large carriers range from Planetary Landers to Starfighter Bases.

File:MSKnifeClassCVLLightStrikeCarriers.jpg|''MS Knife Class (CVL) Light Strike Carriers''
</gallery>

====Battle Class====

Battle Starships are the big guns of a space fleet, though they are powerful enough to sometimes operate alone during small or limited engagements. They are medium to very large self propelled combat space craft, typically heavily armed and armored, equipped with a vast array of practical systems, extremely self sufficient, and usually capable of extraordinary speeds.

=====Frigate=====

Frigates are vessels that are built for speed and maneuverability, pure and simple. Offensive (as much as it can be) and defensive capabilities are an afterthought in a Frigate's main design. Frigates typically serve as command vessels for escort groups and as tactical lynchpins, outmaneuvering and outflanking enemy formations.

</gallery>

=====Destroyer=====

Destroyers are defensive warships, heavily armored and/or shielded and equipped with a battery of anti-everything weaponry. They are the protectors of convoys and the main command ships in a blockade. Destroyers are built to be fast and maneuverable, like their Frigate cousins with whom they share many responsibilities, but tend to sacrifice positioning power for more defensive and tactical weaponry.

</gallery>

=====Cruiser=====

Cruisers are some of the more common heavy hitters among Starships. They are often very large vessels which are fully outfitted to operate alone and remain self sufficient for as long as it takes to complete any given mission. Given that these duties may include long range patrol and surveillance, some Cruisers can outlast some Capital Ships. Cruisers also engage lone raids and massive transport (often serving as blockade busters). When they are paired with other ships in a fleet, it is often in an escort position.

File:ThunderchildIFNBattlecruiser.jpg|''"Thunderchild" IFN Battlecruiser''
</gallery>

=====Battleship=====

Battleships are the penultimate in offensive space combat ships. They are equipped with a bewildering arrangement of really very powerful and very large guns, highly specialized tactical weaponry, and (where they'll fit) broadsides of smaller defensive weapons tek. Battleships are so focused on offensive and tactical systems that they don't care much about defensive capability and only maintain enough power in the engines to get them into a fight. They're big, they're scary, and they're some of the best common ships in any given fleet. Large or truly colossal Battleships are sometimes called Dreadnoughts or Super-Dreadnoughts.

====Capital Class====

Capital Starships are singularly the most badass ships a fleet generally has to offer. Massive constructions that dwarf all other ships, Capital Ships often serve as mobile headquarters for faction leaders or other important personages. When outfitted for war, which is almost always the case, Capital Ships carry the biggest, most ridiculous guns and are equipped with some serious [[Epitek]]. When non-militarily outfitted, Capital Ships might serve as city sized pleasure cruises and the like (keeping in mind that a minifig's idea of pleasure is, well, war). Capital Starships of a particular Specification come in ones, so exorbitant is their cost and their resource demands, especially during operation.

=====Flagship=====

Flagships are the single best ships a faction has to offer. These ships represent the concerted effort of years of work, sometimes involving [[Human]] intervention, a truly colossal economic expenditure, and the most bleeding edge tek the group can get their hands on. Flagships are meant to put the fear of god into enemies. There is no such thing as excess where they are concerned. Often, but not always, Flagships will serve as transport for the faction's leaders and they will coordinate governing from there. Flagships always, however, whenever they are deployed, serve as the command ship for a fleet or battlegroup.

=====Planet Buster=====

Also called Planet Killers, these ships are literally just an unthinkably massive gun with an engine strapped to it that is big enough to push it around at a reasonable speed. They are, as the name implies, capable of destroying entire planets and are even sometimes armored or shielded enough to survive the devastation they wreak. Planet Busters are behemoths which are incapable of maneuvering and defending themselves. They require an escort in the face of an enemy strong enough and fast enough to pick it apart before it reaches its "stationary" target.

=====Star Juggernaut=====

These ships are the ultimate in minifig spaceship teknology, capable of destroying stars through exotic [[Epitek]]. Only a few of the most advanced factions in the brikverse possess them, and even then serve in very limited numbers and lead the entire navies of these nations. To have one is the mark of a top-tier star empire.

====Mythik Class====

These [[MythiTek]] [[Human]] creations transcend [[minifig]] understanding. They are the massive storage units that Humans use to transport everything from the smallest stud or minifig to the largest Capital Ship anywhere among the MultiVerses.

=====BOX=====

BOXES are typically cardboard constructions, flimsy and weak but just sturdy enough to do the job of transporting the pieces. They are not highly effective at protecting the components within.

=====BIN=====

BINS are typically plastic constructions, solid and strong and more than capable of transporting elements while protecting them from outside forces. Their main disadvantage, however, lies in the inability to protect shifting pieces inside the storage space from damaging themselves.

== Space Teknology Designation ==

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.

===Escort===

Used for Starship Space Teknologies, Escort is a designation that can be attached to any vessel, indicating its status as part of a convoy, namely in a protective detail.

===Hybrid===

This designation represents the merging of any two or more Space Teknologies into one unit. As Teknology in the BrikVerse advances, this is becoming a more commonplace engineering tactic.

===Merchant Vessel===

Used for Starship Space Teknologies, this designation denotes a Starship that is not prepared for battle, instead serving as a cargo or other such civilian ship only.

===Movement Capability===

Fast, slow, interstellar, intergalactic, multi-dimensional, orbital or any number of other such descriptors can be applied to any Space Teknology to determine how it moves.

===Size===

Small, normal, large, or any other such descriptors can be applied to any Space Teknology, representing the described variance from the norm listed for that Class, Specification, or Grouping of that item.

===Warship===

Used for Starship Space Teknologies, Warships designate a Starship as prepared for battle. Civilian vessels that have been converted for war also receive this designation.

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 [[empire]]s 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 station]]s. 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 Teknology Class ==

Space Teknologies are grouped into general families of designs, or Classifications, for ease of reference. These Classes are not hard and fast, of course. With so many factions in the universe, some are bound to deviate from the standard somewhat. Where this is the case, their classifications will be included with their [[faction]] entry. Within some Classifications exist a breakdown of various Specifications, design specs which are divergent from the main design of the Class but which remain highly similar in theme or component.

=== Starships ===

Starships comprise the largest category of Space Teknologies. There are a great deal of Starship Classes and Specifications, running the gamut from one man craft all the way up through and beyond city sized space craft. All Starships are space worthy and vehicular in nature, capable of movement among the stars. While some are also capable of atmospheric flight, the aforementioned traits are the primary identifiers of Starships.

====Fighter Class====

Fighter Starships, or Starfighters, are small, self propelled combat space craft, usually armed with an array of heavy weaponry suitable for space combat, shielded or lightly armored, and powered by high energy but short term power sources. These ships are typically designed for fast, short range space combat and are almost always found scrambling from carriers, bases, or stations. Groupings of Fighter Specifications are often given the size designation.

=====Interceptor=====

Interceptor Starfighters are the most common fighters, representing a balance of offensive and defensive abilities and self sufficiency. Interceptors are single engagement ships, built for the singular purpose of short range combat. These ships intercept other ships and so may find themselves fulfilling both offensive and defensive roles. They are the cheapest ships, usually, to build being, also usually, the smallest. Their small size combined with their high energy consumption, however, keep them fairly tethered to a fuel source, typically a larger carrier-type ship.

=====Strike=====

Strike Fighters are slightly more self sufficient than their Interceptor cousins and are typically loaded down with a heavier array of devastatingly offensive weaponry. Strike Fighters are built to be fast, heavy hitting warships capable of ranging out to a mildly distant target. They are also a good deal larger than most Starfighters, in order to compensate for the advanced weapons systems, but aren't usually better shielded or armored. They are described often as "flying guns."

=====Reconnaissance=====

Recon Fighters are extremely long range ships that tend to sacrifice both offensive and defensive capabilities in favor of higher fuel capacity, stealth systems, and staggering amounts of high-end surveillance equipment.

====Tactical Class====

Tactical Ships fulfill a specific role within a fleet or battlegroup. They are often small to medium sized self propelled space craft armed, armored, and equipped variably to assist their assigned function. Tactical Ships are almost always self sufficient, being the backbone of most operations.

=====Cutter=====

Cutter Starships are the ultimate in practical serviceability, designed to fulfill a variety of support roles from minor escort to transport (ferrying cargo/personnel from ship to ship or base). Cutters are light and fast and, as such, serve well on patrol or in raids.

=====GunBoat=====

Sometimes also called sloops-of-war, the term GunBoat is a sort of catchall classification for all smaller warships that don't fulfill a specific function. GunBoats are far and away the single most common Tactical Class Starship in the [[BrikVerse]]. They are the filler for most fleets. Usually thick ships with solid armoring or shielding, GunBoats are also laden with a lot of big guns and tons of transport space (usually reserved for troops). They are, however, typically lumbering and slow.

=====Corvette=====

Corvette Starships are larger and heavily crewed but are also highly speedy and maneuverable. Corvettes serve almost exclusively as patrol craft, monitoring territorial borders and various zones in space of strategic value. Thanks to their high self sufficiency, large crew compliment, and relative speed, these vessels sometimes serve as exploration ships. These ships are highly prized by minifigs and members of a faction's space corps are always ecstatic to receive posting on one. Corvettes are almost universally equipped with boarding teknology, allowing minifigs to take the fight to one another even in the depths of space and capture one another's vessels on their own terms.

=====Carrier=====

Carrier Starships are vessels that have been built primarily for transportation, whether of cargo or personnel. They are heavily armored and shielded but typically maintain only defensive weaponry. Carriers are often large creations, the better to hold more cargo space but also to maintain their massive engines. The most effective Carriers are also relatively fast, if not maneuverable, so that they may get into combat or away from it in time. Small Carriers are sometimes called Dropships, whereas large carriers range from Planetary Landers to Starfighter Bases.

File:BarracudaLightAssaultCarrier.jpg|''"Barracuda" Light Assault Carrier''
</gallery>

====Battle Class====

Battle Starships are the big guns of a space fleet, though they are powerful enough to sometimes operate alone during small or limited engagements. They are medium to very large self propelled combat space craft, typically heavily armed and armored, equipped with a vast array of practical systems, extremely self sufficient, and usually capable of extraordinary speeds.

=====Frigate=====

Frigates are vessels that are built for speed and maneuverability, pure and simple. Offensive (as much as it can be) and defensive capabilities are an afterthought in a Frigate's main design. Frigates typically serve as command vessels for escort groups and as tactical lynchpins, outmaneuvering and outflanking enemy formations.

</gallery>

=====Destroyer=====

Destroyers are defensive warships, heavily armored and/or shielded and equipped with a battery of anti-everything weaponry. They are the protectors of convoys and the main command ships in a blockade. Destroyers are built to be fast and maneuverable, like their Frigate cousins with whom they share many responsibilities, but tend to sacrifice positioning power for more defensive and tactical weaponry.

File:NidhoggurLightDestroyer.jpg|''"The Níðhöggur" Light Destroyer''
</gallery>

=====Cruiser=====

Cruisers are some of the more common heavy hitters among Starships. They are often very large vessels which are fully outfitted to operate alone and remain self sufficient for as long as it takes to complete any given mission. Given that these duties may include long range patrol and surveillance, some Cruisers can outlast some Capital Ships. Cruisers also engage lone raids and massive transport (often serving as blockade busters). When they are paired with other ships in a fleet, it is often in an escort position.

<gallery perrow=6>
File:HodgepodgeHeavyCruiser.jpg|''"Hodgepodge" Heavy Cruiser''
File:MorninstarsLamentAssaultCruiser.jpg|''"Morningstar's Lament" Assault Cruiser''
</gallery>

=====Battleship=====

Battleships are the penultimate in offensive space combat ships. They are equipped with a bewildering arrangement of really very powerful and very large guns, highly specialized tactical weaponry, and (where they'll fit) broadsides of smaller defensive weapons tek. Battleships are so focused on offensive and tactical systems that they don't care much about defensive capability and only maintain enough power in the engines to get them into a fight. They're big, they're scary, and they're some of the best common ships in any given fleet. Large or truly colossal Battleships are sometimes called Dreadnoughts or Super-Dreadnoughts.

====Capital Class====

Capital Starships are singularly the most badass ships a fleet generally has to offer. Massive constructions that dwarf all other ships, Capital Ships often serve as mobile headquarters for faction leaders or other important personages. When outfitted for war, which is almost always the case, Capital Ships carry the biggest, most ridiculous guns and are equipped with some serious [[Epitek]]. When non-militarily outfitted, Capital Ships might serve as city sized pleasure cruises and the like (keeping in mind that a minifig's idea of pleasure is, well, war). Capital Starships of a particular Specification come in ones, so exorbitant is their cost and their resource demands, especially during operation.

=====Flagship=====

Flagships are the single best ships a faction has to offer. These ships represent the concerted effort of years of work, sometimes involving [[Human]] intervention, a truly colossal economic expenditure, and the most bleeding edge tek the group can get their hands on. Flagships are meant to put the fear of god into enemies. There is no such thing as excess where they are concerned. Often, but not always, Flagships will serve as transport for the faction's leaders and they will coordinate governing from there. Flagships always, however, whenever they are deployed, serve as the command ship for a fleet or battlegroup.

=====Planet Buster=====

Also called Planet Killers, these ships are literally just an unthinkably massive gun with an engine strapped to it that is big enough to push it around at a reasonable speed. They are, as the name implies, capable of destroying entire planets and are even sometimes armored or shielded enough to survive the devastation they wreak. Planet Busters are behemoths which are incapable of maneuvering and defending themselves. They require an escort in the face of an enemy strong enough and fast enough to pick it apart before it reaches its "stationary" target.

=====Star Juggernaut=====

These ships are the ultimate in minifig spaceship teknology, capable of destroying stars through exotic [[Epitek]]. Only a few of the most advanced factions in the brikverse possess them, and even then serve in very limited numbers and lead the entire navies of these nations. To have one is the mark of a top-tier star empire.

====Mythik Class====

These [[MythiTek]] [[Human]] creations transcend [[minifig]] understanding. They are the massive storage units that Humans use to transport everything from the smallest stud or minifig to the largest Capital Ship anywhere among the MultiVerses.

=====BOX=====

BOXES are typically cardboard constructions, flimsy and weak but just sturdy enough to do the job of transporting the pieces. They are not highly effective at protecting the components within.

=====BIN=====

BINS are typically plastic constructions, solid and strong and more than capable of transporting elements while protecting them from outside forces. Their main disadvantage, however, lies in the inability to protect shifting pieces inside the storage space from damaging themselves.

== Space Teknology Designation ==

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.

===Size===

Small, normal, large, or any other such descriptors can be applied to any Space Teknology, representing the described variance from the norm listed for that Class, Specification, or Grouping of that item.

===Warship===

Used for Starship Space Teknologies, Warships designate a Starship as prepared for battle. Civilian vessels that have been converted for war also receive this designation.

To have one is the mark of a top-tier star empire.

====Mythik Class====

These [[MythiTek]] [[Human]] creations transcend [[minifig]] understanding. They are the massive storage units that Humans use to transport everything from the smallest stud or minifig to the largest Capital Ship anywhere among the MultiVerses.

=====BOX=====

BOXES are typically cardboard constructions, flimsy and weak but just sturdy enough to do the job of transporting the pieces. They are not highly effective at protecting the components within.

=====BIN=====

BINS are typically plastic constructions, solid and strong and more than capable of transporting elements while protecting them from outside forces. Their main disadvantage, however, lies in the inability to protect shifting pieces inside the storage space from damaging themselves.

== Space Teknology Designation ==

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.

===Escort===

Used for Starship Space Teknologies, Escort is a designation that can be attached to any vessel, indicating its status as part of a convoy, namely in a protective detail.

===Hybrid===

This designation represents the merging of any two or more Space Teknologies into one unit. As Teknology in the BrikVerse advances, this is becoming a more commonplace engineering tactic.

===Merchant Vessel===

Used for Starship Space Teknologies, this designation denotes a Starship that is not prepared for battle, instead serving as a cargo or other such civilian ship only.

===Movement Capability===

Fast, slow, interstellar, intergalactic, multi-dimensional, orbital or any number of other such descriptors can be applied to any Space Teknology to determine how it moves.

===Size===

Small, normal, large, or any other such descriptors can be applied to any Space Teknology, representing the described variance from the norm listed for that Class, Specification, or Grouping of that item.

===Warship===

Used for Starship Space Teknologies, Warships designate a Starship as prepared for battle. Civilian vessels that have been converted for war also receive this designation.

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 [[empire]]s 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 station]]s. 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 Teknology Class ==

Space Teknologies are grouped into general families of designs, or Classifications, for ease of reference. These Classes are not hard and fast, of course. With so many factions in the universe, some are bound to deviate from the standard somewhat. Where this is the case, their classifications will be included with their [[faction]] entry. Within some Classifications exist a breakdown of various Specifications, design specs which are divergent from the main design of the Class but which remain highly similar in theme or component.

=== Starships ===

Starships comprise the largest category of Space Teknologies. There are a great deal of Starship Classes and Specifications, running the gamut from one man craft all the way up through and beyond city sized space craft. All Starships are space worthy and vehicular in nature, capable of movement among the stars. While some are also capable of atmospheric flight, the aforementioned traits are the primary identifiers of Starships.

====Fighter Class====

Fighter Starships, or Starfighters, are small, self propelled combat space craft, usually armed with an array of heavy weaponry suitable for space combat, shielded or lightly armored, and powered by high energy but short term power sources. These ships are typically designed for fast, short range space combat and are almost always found scrambling from carriers, bases, or stations. Groupings of Fighter Specifications are often given the size designation.

=====Interceptor=====

Interceptor Starfighters are the most common fighters, representing a balance of offensive and defensive abilities and self sufficiency. Interceptors are single engagement ships, built for the singular purpose of short range combat. These ships intercept other ships and so may find themselves fulfilling both offensive and defensive roles. They are the cheapest ships, usually, to build being, also usually, the smallest. Their small size combined with their high energy consumption, however, keep them fairly tethered to a fuel source, typically a larger carrier-type ship.

=====Strike=====

Strike Fighters are slightly more self sufficient than their Interceptor cousins and are typically loaded down with a heavier array of devastatingly offensive weaponry. Strike Fighters are built to be fast, heavy hitting warships capable of ranging out to a mildly distant target. They are also a good deal larger than most Starfighters, in order to compensate for the advanced weapons systems, but aren't usually better shielded or armored. They are described often as "flying guns."

=====Reconnaissance=====

Recon Fighters are extremely long range ships that tend to sacrifice both offensive and defensive capabilities in favor of higher fuel capacity, stealth systems, and staggering amounts of high-end surveillance equipment.

====Tactical Class====

Tactical Ships fulfill a specific role within a fleet or battlegroup. They are often small to medium sized self propelled space craft armed, armored, and equipped variably to assist their assigned function. Tactical Ships are almost always self sufficient, being the backbone of most operations.

=====Cutter=====

Cutter Starships are the ultimate in practical serviceability, designed to fulfill a variety of support roles from minor escort to transport (ferrying cargo/personnel from ship to ship or base). Cutters are light and fast and, as such, serve well on patrol or in raids.

=====GunBoat=====

Sometimes also called sloops-of-war, the term GunBoat is a sort of catchall classification for all smaller warships that don't fulfill a specific function. GunBoats are far and away the single most common Tactical Class Starship in the [[BrikVerse]]. They are the filler for most fleets. Usually thick ships with solid armoring or shielding, GunBoats are also laden with a lot of big guns and tons of transport space (usually reserved for troops). They are, however, typically lumbering and slow.

=====Corvette=====

Corvette Starships are larger and heavily crewed but are also highly speedy and maneuverable. Corvettes serve almost exclusively as patrol craft, monitoring territorial borders and various zones in space of strategic value. Thanks to their high self sufficiency, large crew compliment, and relative speed, these vessels sometimes serve as exploration ships. These ships are highly prized by minifigs and members of a faction's space corps are always ecstatic to receive posting on one. Corvettes are almost universally equipped with boarding teknology, allowing minifigs to take the fight to one another even in the depths of space and capture one another's vessels on their own terms.

=====Carrier=====

Carrier Starships are vessels that have been built primarily for transportation, whether of cargo or personnel. They are heavily armored and shielded but typically maintain only defensive weaponry. Carriers are often large creations, the better to hold more cargo space but also to maintain their massive engines. The most effective Carriers are also relatively fast, if not maneuverable, so that they may get into combat or away from it in time. Small Carriers are sometimes called Dropships, whereas large carriers range from Planetary Landers to Starfighter Bases.

====Battle Class====

Battle Starships are the big guns of a space fleet, though they are powerful enough to sometimes operate alone during small or limited engagements. They are medium to very large self propelled combat space craft, typically heavily armed and armored, equipped with a vast array of practical systems, extremely self sufficient, and usually capable of extraordinary speeds.

=====Frigate=====

Frigates are vessels that are built for speed and maneuverability, pure and simple. Offensive (as much as it can be) and defensive capabilities are an afterthought in a Frigate's main design. Frigates typically serve as command vessels for escort groups and as tactical lynchpins, outmaneuvering and outflanking enemy formations.

=====Destroyer=====

Destroyers are defensive warships, heavily armored and/or shielded and equipped with a battery of anti-everything weaponry. They are the protectors of convoys and the main command ships in a blockade. Destroyers are built to be fast and maneuverable, like their Frigate cousins with whom they share many responsibilities, but tend to sacrifice positioning power for more defensive and tactical weaponry.

=====Cruiser=====

Cruisers are some of the more common heavy hitters among Starships. They are often very large vessels which are fully outfitted to operate alone and remain self sufficient for as long as it takes to complete any given mission. Given that these duties may include long range patrol and surveillance, some Cruisers can outlast some Capital Ships. Cruisers also engage lone raids and massive transport (often serving as blockade busters). When they are paired with other ships in a fleet, it is often in an escort position.

=====Battleship=====

Battleships are the penultimate in offensive space combat ships. They are equipped with a bewildering arrangement of really very powerful and very large guns, highly specialized tactical weaponry, and (where they'll fit) broadsides of smaller defensive weapons tek. Battleships are so focused on offensive and tactical systems that they don't care much about defensive capability and only maintain enough power in the engines to get them into a fight. They're big, they're scary, and they're some of the best common ships in any given fleet. Large or truly colossal Battleships are sometimes called Dreadnoughts or Super-Dreadnoughts.

====Capital Class====

Capital Starships are singularly the most badass ships a fleet generally has to offer. Massive constructions that dwarf all other ships, Capital Ships often serve as mobile headquarters for faction leaders or other important personages. When outfitted for war, which is almost always the case, Capital Ships carry the biggest, most ridiculous guns and are equipped with some serious [[Epitek]]. When non-militarily outfitted, Capital Ships might serve as city sized pleasure cruises and the like (keeping in mind that a minifig's idea of pleasure is, well, war). Capital Starships of a particular Specification come in ones, so exorbitant is their cost and their resource demands, especially during operation.

=====Flagship=====

Flagships are the single best ships a faction has to offer. These ships represent the concerted effort of years of work, sometimes involving [[Human]] intervention, a truly colossal economic expenditure, and the most bleeding edge tek the group can get their hands on. Flagships are meant to put the fear of god into enemies. There is no such thing as excess where they are concerned. Often, but not always, Flagships will serve as transport for the faction's leaders and they will coordinate governing from there. Flagships always, however, whenever they are deployed, serve as the command ship for a fleet or battlegroup.

=====Planet Buster=====

Also called Planet Killers, these ships are literally just an unthinkably massive gun with an engine strapped to it that is big enough to push it around at a reasonable speed. They are, as the name implies, capable of destroying entire planets and are even sometimes armored or shielded enough to survive the devastation they wreak. Planet Busters are behemoths which are incapable of maneuvering and defending themselves. They require an escort in the face of an enemy strong enough and fast enough to pick it apart before it reaches its "stationary" target.

=====Star Juggernaut=====

These ships are the ultimate in minifig spaceship teknology, capable of destroying stars through exotic [[Epitek]]. Only a few of the most advanced factions in the brikverse possess them, and even then serve in very limited numbers and lead the entire navies of these nations. To have one is the mark of a top-tier star empire.

====Mythik Class====

These [[MythiTek]] [[Human]] creations transcend [[minifig]] understanding. They are the massive storage units that Humans use to transport everything from the smallest stud or minifig to the largest Capital Ship anywhere among the MultiVerses.

=====BOX=====

BOXES are typically cardboard constructions, flimsy and weak but just sturdy enough to do the job of transporting the pieces. They are not highly effective at protecting the components within.

=====BIN=====

BINS are typically plastic constructions, solid and strong and more than capable of transporting elements while protecting them from outside forces. Their main disadvantage, however, lies in the inability to protect shifting pieces inside the storage space from damaging themselves.

== Space Teknology Designation ==

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.

===Escort===

Used for Starship Space Teknologies, Escort is a designation that can be attached to any vessel, indicating its status as part of a convoy, namely in a protective detail.

===Hybrid===

This designation represents the merging of any two or more Space Teknologies into one unit. As Teknology in the BrikVerse advances, this is becoming a more commonplace engineering tactic.

===Merchant Vessel===

Used for Starship Space Teknologies, this designation denotes a Starship that is not prepared for battle, instead serving as a cargo or other such civilian ship only.

===Movement Capability===

Fast, slow, interstellar, intergalactic, multi-dimensional, orbital or any number of other such descriptors can be applied to any Space Teknology to determine how it moves.

===Size===

Small, normal, large, or any other such descriptors can be applied to any Space Teknology, representing the described variance from the norm listed for that Class, Specification, or Grouping of that item.

===Warship===

Used for Starship Space Teknologies, Warships designate a Starship as prepared for battle. Civilian vessels that have been converted for war also receive this designation.

Farce

Quantumsurfer:

The Farce is a humor field that powers the [[BrikVerse]] and binds it together. It is created by all laughing things, and disrupted by [[anorak]]s. Some societies and organizations think of the Farce as a non-corporeal sentient entity that might be capable of intelligent thought, while others simply consider it something to be manipulated and used as though it were a tool.

The Farce potential of an individual is measured in sentient creatures by their mini-clown count. (Mini-clowns are exactly the same size as regular minifigs, but with their mini-clown-car powers they are able pack large numbers into a single minifig.) Mini-clowns continually speak to minifigs, telling them the will of the Farce in the form of jokes of varying quality. When minifigs' minds are quiet they hear the mini-clowns speaking a lot, so Farce-sensitive minifigs constantly strive for greater stupidity and mindlessness, especially by taking part in violence and mayhem.

Minifigs with ability in the Farce can use it to alter reality to become much funnier. LiteSide, SnarkSide, and DimSide Farce users use the Farce to gain power, although in different ways.

LiteSide users, who often join the ranks of the LegitEye Knights, use their powers to entertain everyone with hilarious situations, such as cutting people's limbs off and saying things like "Speak weirdly I do not!" and "Making fun of me you should stop!" They are known for preaching that anything is funny "from a certain point of view."

SnarkSide Farce users, by contrast, are mostly interested in entertaining themselves. They use their powers to frustrate and humiliate others, doing such things as cutting off their oxygen, electrocuting them, and telling jokes that no one else thinks are funny. [[DarkTron]] Lords dress entirely in black and wear masks or opaque visors, because victims find the lack of face disturbing.

The unfortunate third group of Farce users, the DimSiders, tap into the Farce through their own unwitting stupidity. Once they start down that dumb path, forever does it dimminate their destiny, cursing them to a life of comic relief as mindless puppets of the DimSide. Blessed with Dimmy Strength and a thick-headed invulnerability against forces of logic, they are sometimes able to eke out brief careers as jesters, town fools and politicians. Inevitably the DimSide consumes them, and they join the mindless ranks of the [[Dimmies]].

Farce users are often [[Hero]]es. In fact, the Farce is usually what makes a minifig into a hero, whether or not they realize it. A user of the Farce is able to perform heroic feats such as telepathy, psychokinesis, and enhanced physical and metaphysical perception. The Farce can be used to bend the will of weak-minded beings and guide an adept's body. Users who were very good at using the Farce can cease merely reacting to their surroundings and actually predict events in the very near future, such as the next blow in a duel, by using their sixth sense of humor and thinking "wouldn't it be funny if." The Farce can be used to defuse situations, or to shock victims like lightning. There are as many different groups of users and views of the Farce as there are uses of the Farce itself.
