The big brother of "Arrow". The ship is used for transporting medium and high amounts of cargo between star systems. Using the same chain method of loading as "Arrow", Pillar can load up to 384 chains at the same time, 173 thousand containers in total, which allows for 430 mln tonnes of cargo capacity. The ship's size is one of its weak points. "Pillar" has one of the largest and most powerful engines of ships its class, which means large fuel consumption. The ship accelerates very slowly, and decelerates just as slowly, and often requires additional tugs to help with these stages of flight and tugging it into the unloading zone. This adds up to a significant operational cost for the Pillar, so these ships used less often than Arrows. | |||

All ships are divided between civilian types and military types. These in turn divided further based on their size and specific role.
Categories applies to all ships, but mainly this is based on ship crew size rather than simply length. Separate category is unmanned ships that have no crew at all, like satellites.
Classification
Light ships
Most ships with small crew and length below 50-60m. These are corvettes, shuttles, fighters and such. Most ships don't even offer ability to stand up in the cockpit, and rarely have ability to support life for more than several days or week.
Main ships
Most broad class, including most ships with crews below one thousand members and length below 1 km. These ships can stay autonomous for long periods of time, several years in some cases.
Heavy Ships(Core ships)
Ships with length over 1 kilometer and with crew numbered in more than thousand members. These ships form core of the military and expeditionary fleets (Named - Core Ships in this case), providing docks and manufacturing capabilities to issue maintenance and repair of other ships, making entire fleet be able to operate away from supply bases for extended periods of time.
Carrier ships
Largest of ships, crews (or rather 'population') can reach up to hundreds of thousands, and ships themselves are kilometers long. These are the largest ships that exist in the galaxy. Usually they're fully autonomous and require only raw materials for functionality.
Space constructs and stations
Separate class with broad criteria of apply. The only mandatory condition is lack of ability to leave current orbit.
Types of ships
Note: "length" is ship's longest axis measurement. It can, or cannot match orientation of ship decks. Most ships that do not capable of atmospheric re-entry and do not have artificial gravity generators have their decks arranged perpendicular to ship's vector of thrust.
Range, for ships without hypergenerator installed, is calculated based on a distance they will cover by exhausting 50% of their fuel, flying at acceleration rate of 1G (including deceleration phase). For ships with hypergenerator, it is the maximal distance they can cover with a single jump.

Description | "Dawn" class ships are serving as core ships of several expeditionary fleets, tasked with exploration and mapping of uncharted star systems inside and outside of Alliance space. They are like mobile cities, their central section capable of sustaining population of thousands for an extended periods of time. Ship is not designed for military application and does not have any weapons. It's laser turrets are civilian-grade and calibrated for close range debris destruction. "Dawn" class ships are largest in service, existing on edge with mothership classification. "Dawn" class is so large, in fact, that they exhibit registrable gravitational field of their own. |

Description | "Candle"-class shuttle is typical type of shuttle that used to carry passengers and small cargo to and from orbits around gravity wells. Equipped with repulsor modules, ship doesn't requires multi-staged rocket assistance for flying to the orbit (as with most of alliance tech, designed for atmospheric re-entry) and capable of making three cycles "gravity well climb - docking approach - atmospheric re-entry" until refueling(provided minimal load). Shuttle capabilities allow it for short-ranged flights to nearby orbits, which makes it primary transportation service of short distances between planets, space stations or moons. |
