“I’ve never seen anything like it. How can something so massive just hang in the air? Sure, we've got airships but at least they follow the laws of nature. Glorified balloons I can understand. What did you call it; a Thule? That was something else. I thought those huge thrusters were keeping it in the sky at first but I think it only uses them to maneuver. I couldn’t believe how quiet it was. We saw the shadow before we heard it arrive. It got loud pretty quickly though. Fighters screamed out of the section where the two discs joined. Some sort of light came out of the rim of the disks and carved across our bow. Sliced through it like we were paper. I’ll never forget the sound. That screech shook me to my core, made my bones itch. Spent the rest of the battle getting thrown around in a lifeboat so I don’t know how much more intel I can give you. Can I go back to the ward now?”
Seaman Jake Davis: USS Scituate, Farragut Class Frigate.

The largest Ekranoplan in the world, the Alexayev is tasked with rapidly deploying small squadrons of hovercraft or even other Ekranoplans to key locations as part of a rapid reaction force. Named after Evgenievich Alexayev, the brilliant engineer who won the Tzar’s wager by proving his proposed design for the Ekranoplan was possible.

A brutal addition to the White Navy and favoured by northern Captains, the Khatanga combines a ferocious Semyenov pattern assault bore in the prow with the dreaded cryo Generator.

The Dragunov and Stoletov ground effect vehicles were designed by Helsinki Markov himself following his return to the Commonwealth after years studying with the Covenant of the Enlightened. Skimming the surface of the sea, they excel at high-speed rocket attacks and troop transport.

Utilising the repulsion field generator obtained by Helsinki Markov in 1856, the Irkutsk Skydrill is often heard approaching, long before it is seen. The buzz of the overcharged field generators and the roar of the Semyenov assault bore spinning up to full speed makes a terrifying cacophony.

Utilising the Selivanenko pattern Aural Dissonance Array (known more commonly as a Shockwave Generator), the Giyena moves rapidly across uneven landscapes, marshland and the open sea to bring this potent device to bear.

The ‘Morskoi Orel’ roared across the waves at a speed unreasonable for its size. The Alexayev Ekranoplan Heavy Transport is an engineering marvel, a case of mankind’s ingenuity over nature. This was unlike the more esoteric devices of the Covenant of the Enlightened, this was a machine of brute force. Of course, there were lightweight Sturginium alloys involved in its construction but if you put enough rockets on anything, it will go fast. Most of the crew wore ear protectors to help with the deafening noise, even the officers on the bridge needed discrete earplugs to prevent the worst of the thunderous racket. The Alexayev is a vessel that works by the mantra; ‘strike fast, strike hard’. Crashing into battle, unleashing an overwhelming barrage from its multiple Katyusha Salvos and then unloading its cargo of hovercraft, this enormous ekranoplan is often the decisive strike in a Commonwealth naval operation and today would be no exception to that.

Mizuchi Submersible Carriers hold swarms of Rin Exosubs, ready at a moment's notice to attack the enemy no matter their location. Those who think themselves able to escape danger, whether by air or under the surface may find it to be the last mistake they ever make.

Squadrons of Chubu hunter submarines prowl the Sea of Japan and beyond looking for targets of opportunity. These deadly vessels are armed with multiple torpedo launchers to achieve a swift kill.

Sakata Heavy Destroyers combine firepower, speed and group tactics to present a formidable and tenacious foe to the enemies of Japan.

The shadows of Japanese submersibles had been spotted on an intercept course. With no sign of any Miyagi or Okinawa nearby and no long range visuals of a Tianlong in the area, the usual aerial support of such a battlefleet, it was just a case of waiting for them to surface and picking them off with supporting fire from their collective storm vanes. A Koromodako breached the waves, its steel tentacles waving impotently. The bridge crew of the lead Kreigsturm shared a grin as the orders were made to fire upon the helpless submersible. It took a little while for one of the junior officers to notice that other vessels had appeared at a different heading. Strange little machines swarmed around; Rin Exosubs. Flying in formation they ducked to the safety of the depths to avoid fire. Perhaps this would not be such a one-sided engagement after all?

Contents:

• 2x Japanese Submersibles (may be built as either Koromodako, Kensai, Ryujin, Mizuchi,
• Umibozu or Kagutsuchi Class)

The Lesanth Exemplar-Cruiser is often held in awe by the enemies of the Sultanate and rightly so. It contains feats of engineering that might be considered magic by those who had not borne witness to them before. The bright ray ofJudgement Lances that make even Particle Beamers pale in comparison. Portals that allow other vessels to fire through without exposing themselves to enemy fire. Not to mention the expressionless, steel visage of the Cor Coroli than act as marines. Woe betide anyone who believe they stood a chance in an engagement with this ship of the Order.

Carolus Destroyers are formidable indeed. Crewed entirely by the devout members of the martial religious group known as the Order, they answer only to Sircan Osman on behalf of the Sultan.

"We thought we were safe. There was only one cruiser, reckoned we'd scared the rest of them 'Sultanas' off. Good work, job done, back home for tea and biscuits. I remember saying to Jonesy what an easy patrol it was. Then I saw it over his shoulder, like a giant mirror with a glowing frame a little ways off the port bow. Huge it was, size of a house. Problem was, it weren't a mirror of us, you could see a different ship on the other side. One of theirs. Before we knew it, there was shots coming through. Like a hole in the wall but connecting houses in different streets. I still can't make head nor tail of it. I don't know how I made it. Jonesy didn't. You see one of them portal thingies, move."
Able Seaman Jack Davies, formerly of HMS Gladstone

Some of the smaller PHR forward bases are designed solely for support and defence, integrating large arsenals of defensive weapons that can take down any enemy that gets in range.

Following the design ethos of the PHR, the small station shows off those smooth armour panels that pack a payload of firepower.

The two kits that can be made are the PHR Orbital Picket or PHR Obital Outpost. Both builds are equipped with the Station Turret Rack, which targets all enemy ships that are in range. The Orbital Picket is equipped with a battery of Neutron missiles that are Close action weapons that Cripple any ship that comes within range. The Orbital outpost will take out targets from long range with its Triple Supernova Laser, this can Burnthrough the largest of ships.

Space stations are integral to many scenarios in Dropfleet Commander - highly appropriate for the game's orbital combat setting!

Contains 1 resin miniature with 1 plastic Dropfleet Commander base and flight stand.

Resin miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled.

Developed from the cruiser class ship, the Space Stations give the ships of the resistance a base among the stars. The Astrobotanical Outpost puts out a signature that no enemy fleet can ignore, drawing them away from Resistance ships.

The Resistance is finally able to assist their Fleets with the addition of the new space stations, each one providing greatly needed support.

The Resistance Grand Station provides huge fire support through the use of its Heavy Vent Cannon and dual pair XN-31-S Mass Driver Turret, giving an area of threat that no enemy ship will want to enter. This Kit can also be assembled as the Resistance Astrobotanical Outpost, still posing the Heavy Vent Cannon that can crack open any nearby ship, however this ships main role is to use its Signature Bloom to hide friendly ships.

This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled. Other ships and gaming mats are for scale purposes only.

In areas of less control, the shaltari will build the smaller variants of these space stations, employing advanced technology that humans cannot comprehend. The ability to manipulate the gravity around these stations make them a no fly zone for any inexperienced pilot.

Adding to their space station arsenal, the Shaltari Small Space Station allows them to expand further out into the stars.

This kit makes either the Gatestation or the Grav Hook Space Station. The Gatestation contains two gates that can be launched and used as teleporting locations to increase the positioning potential in your fleet, don't lose control of the station though, otherwise the gates will shutdown. The Grav Hook Station uses a Gravity Manipulator to shunt your friendly ships away, giving a significant speed boost, but then uses it to drag enemy ships in hindering the manoeuvres and slowing them down.

When HMS Gloriana was launched in 1851, she was an apex predator without rival. Even today, these imposing vessels are able to rout entire battlefleets alone and fear nothing, giving rise to vessels in her image being desired by all the Great Powers, but never exceeded.

Tough and reliable airships, the Prydain has served the Crown for two decades, replacing the Glaisher class war balloons after the debacle during the Rout at Mboto Gorge. Despite their age, the Prydain still prove to be more than a match for the latest aeronautic vessels of the other Great Powers.

Reliable workhorses of the Crown's aerial ambitions, squadrons of Tintagels patrol every corner of the globe. Bow-mounted detectors reveal enemy submersibles to allies and embarked troops are ready to drop in and storm enemy fortifications.

While the hull has remained relatively unchanged for more than fifty years, the Albion class Cruisers have received a regular schedule of upgrades integrating newer technology to keep these venerable vessels relevant and capable in this Dystopian Age.

Crews of Caliburn Frigates are renowned for their fearlessness in the face of larger and more deadly adversaries. Though some will be lost in the attempt, they valiantly battle in her Majesty's name.

Squadrons of deadly Rin Exosubs can launch from the Hachiman's twin magnetic accelerator tubes. These nimble automata skim the surface before plunging beneath the waves, reconfiguring into a torpedo-like form. Devastating the enemy at close range, the Exosubs rocket to the surface in flight mode and return to the Hachiman for redeployment.

All the coastal nations of the Empire design, build and crew their own sea-going vessels. Osaka cruisers are a source of great pride within the Empire, and the expansion of their borders necessitates deploying them more visibly, something that has been welcomed by Japanese commanders especially.

Squadrons of Chubu Hunter Submarines prowl the Sea of Japan and beyond looking for targets of opportunity. These deadly vessels are armed with multiple torpedo launchers to achieve a swift kill.

The Japanese favour Kyoto fast frigates when running their patrols between the far-flung islands of their homeland. The vessels are ideally suited for this task and for new sailors a year on a Kyoto is their first experience of the proud naval traditions of the Blazing Sun.

Colloquially referred to as war rockets by the Prussian navy due to their distinctive missile-like shape, the Kriegsturm patrol the skies around the Imperium and beyond. Commonly armed with deadly high-speed Luft Speerschleuders, these weapons are ideal for hunting down submerged targets while its Flak Batteries rip apart aircraft.

Utilising pressurised Blaugas jet engines to achieve exceptional speeds, the Jaeger is a lethal aerial hunter operating in packs to clear the skies of enemy airships or plunge out of the clouds to strike their unsuspecting foes below.

Pride of the Castellammare di Stabia shipyards, the Gladius is a superb vessel. Optimised for long sea voyages with comfortable crew berths and excellent fresh-water reclamation systems, the Gladius is a popular assignment in the Regia Marina.

Crews of Pilum monitors are reminded that they are often the last line of defence for civilians and as such are assigned from recruits hailing from inland towns and cities of Italy. This ensures they understand what is truly at stake should an enemy vessel get past them and into Alliance territory.

Cestus Zebeks are often tasked to defend the flanks of Alliance fleets as well as grouping their attacks against key targets of opportunity.

The Mars class heavy battleships are the pride of the League of Italian States. The Tetrarchy know the worth of these powerful vessels and not a single one weighs anchor unless they are convinced that it is Italy's needs and not the vainglories of Napoleon that are best served by doing so.

Pride of the Castellammare di Stabia shipyards, the Gladius is a superb vessel. Optimised for long sea voyages with comfortable crew berths and excellent fresh-water reclamation systems, the Gladius is a popular assignment in the Regia Marina. Variants on this hull design also fulfil other fleet roles as and when required, the most successful of these being the mighty Spatha. Used where other nations might deploy a heavy cruiser, the Spatha is a naval brawler. Capable of exchanging fire with powerful enemy vessels and holding their own, the Spatha crews prefer to do so while closing to ramming range.

Contents:

• 1x Mars Class Battleship
• 2x Italian Cruisers (may be built as either Gladius, Spatha, Auxillia or Pilum)
• 4x Frigates
• 4x Escort Tokens

Gettysburg heavy monitors are showing their age after nearly two decades of war. Electrical problems make their facilities sparse, though the rugged design of these ships along with their lengthy battle honours make their crews extremely loyal to these veteran warships.

Corvettes are one of the smallest classifications of vessels in the fleet, with disproportionately powerful armament for their tonnage. The Springfield class has been in service for nearly twenty years, serving with distinction in the fleets of both the Union and the Confederacy.

Contents:

• 2x Ore War Veteran Cruisers (may be built as either Gettysburg, Providence, Saratoga or Sumpter)
• 4x Springfield Corvettes
• 4x Escort Tokens
• 2x Talon SRS Tokens

Designed by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, the framework is made of duralumin - a sturginium alloy of aluminium and copper. To hold the helium that gives the craft its buoyancy, the ship employs dozens of rubberised cotton gasbags within the frame, leaving plenty of room for the heavy munitions that make these vessels rightly feared.

Colloquially referred to as war-rockets by the Prussian navy due to their distinctive missile-like shape, the Kriegsturm patrol the skies around the Imperium and beyond. Commonly armed with deadly high-speed Luft Speerschleuders, these weapons are ideal for hunting down submerged targets while its Flak Batteries rip apart aircraft.

While the Scourge prefer to make additions to already existing infrastructure, sometimes capturing a planet means eliminating its existing orbital defences. In situations like these they will employ purpose built stations, the most common of of which are the Ephyra and Nematocyst. Though it is unknown to the UCM how the Scourge deploy them in orbit, none have been seen in construction, their presence alone means heavy Scourge occupation.

The Ephyra is the more numerous of the two, based upon rows of Oculus weapons, it seems the Scourge favour this more ubiquitous tech than other long range defensive weapons. Though not particularly dangerous at range, it's still enough of a threat for attackers to steer clear of.

The Nematocyst is the long range specialist of these defensive stations. It's usually the first to fire upon any engaging fleet, and usually a priority target. Its Volcano Lance is capable of painting a ship with a beam of thermal energy, not unlike that of the Furnace weapons on Scourge ships. Though the power involved causes the station to be as visible as the ship it's targeting.

Space stations are integral to many scenarios in Dropfleet Commander - highly appropriate for the game's orbital combat setting!

"When I shipped out for Basic, these stations were all theory and politics, now look! This station is one of three hundred geosync platforms. That hangar up top can spit out more fighters than a capital ship. With coordinated fire from torpedo stations, nothing's getting past this line."

With a blocky build and grey paint job, the UCM theme is hard to miss. These new small stations are no exception and it will show any enemy of mankind that they're dug in and ready to hold the line!

Rather then bringing arms to bear, these stations pack launch assets that can support the rest of the UCM fleet. The first variant builds the UCM Defence Hangar that can send Fighters and Bombers into the fray to counter enemy ace pilots. The second build replaces the launch bays in favour of a payload of standard UCM torpedoes.

Suspended on galvanic rotors, these Sky Fortresses are only made possible by the engineers at Bletchley and the wootz-steel Sturginium alloys used in their construction. Her Majesty's amusement was shown when the Avalon-class, the Victoria, flew over Horse Guards Parade, causing the cavalry to rear up and dislodge their riders into the rain-soaked ground. Able to fly anywhere and deploy the Defiant fighters at a moments notice, this mighty aerial leviathan is usually deployed with additional air and sea support. This has been seen especially around the recent conflict in Canada against the Imperium where crews of the Canadian ships have become well versed in fighting with air support.

This box contains:

• 1x Avalon Skyfortress
• 2x Agincourt Cruisers (Each Cruiser can alternatively be built as either Athelstan or Hotspur Class)
