 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."

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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.

	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.

-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.
