These tiny vessels fulfil the role of the corvettes of other races, although they are smaller even than those diminutive ships. They are designed solely to hunt enemy atmospheric assets and are extremely fast. These ships are favoured by the most aggressive Shaltari with the least fear of death and as such are generally crewed by Firstborn Shaltari new to the arts of naval warfare. They have a small crew of just twelve individuals, their pace and atmospheric capability their best protection against the enemy.

Typically, they hunt in packs, utilising their compact but lethal ion cannons to rake the hulls of the larger strike carriers which are their preferred prey. Although not as dangerous as a Corvette alone, their cooperation can quickly reduce the target to so much falling debris in a matter of seconds.

This set includes:

• 6 Resin Miniatures
• 6 Dropfleet Bases

Resin miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled. Other ships and gaming mats are for scale purposes only. Clear acrylic bases will require super glue and may have a protective blue film on one side that will need removing.

The Shaltari are an ancient and highly developed species. Their technology is advanced to a level of sophistication rivalled only by its potency. They have traversed the stars for millennia, learned myriad truths, and have fought countless wars. Through their knowledge, the Shaltari transcend even death itself, and can endure indefinitely, perceiving the ebb and flow of time like no other race.

In battle, the Shaltari are fearsome adversaries. Their swiftness is unmatched, their firepower spectacular, their bravery undeniable. The beauty of their vessels belies their true nature; engines of death, honed to lethal perfection long before humanity learned to throw stones. They are peerless masters of technology.

The Shaltari fleet is a finely balanced blade poised to cut to the heart of any foe. Their gunnery skills and scanners are unrivalled, delivering death from ranges other races can only dream of. The extraordinarily advanced energy shields can be raised at will, protecting their fragile but stealthy ships from harm at the expense of visibility. Skilful captaincy and timely execution are rewarded with sublime victory.

This box includes:

• 4 Frigates
• 3 Cruisers
• 3 Voidgates
• 10 Dropfleet Bases
• 1 Fastplay sheet

Miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly. Plastic Miniatures will need to be assembled using plastic glue. Clear acrylic bases will require super glue and may have a protective blue film on one side that will need removing.

Cruisers are the most common size of capital ship and form the backbone of almost every fleet fighting in the Reconquest. They offer an excellent and flexible combination of speed, firepower and versatility. The standard cruiser hull is so ubiquitous that its design has been redefined many times for a wide variety of roles.

Up to ten different classes, including cruisers, heavy cruisers, fleet carriers, light cruisers and motherships can be assembled.
This set includes:

• 1 Cruiser 
• 1 Voidgate
• 1 Base

Miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly. Plastic Miniatures will need to be assembled using plastic glue. Clear acrylic bases will require super glue and may have a protective blue film on one side that will need removing.

Hilariously fast by human standards, even the Scourge cannot outrun the Caesium. By mounting a specialised version of the disruptor, it is designed specifically for targeting small ships. Based on a light, fast cutter hull, the Gallium’s only weapon defines it: the Bio Atomiser Array. A hit will indiscriminately rupture living cells, causing brain haemorrhage, heart attacks, and catastrophic malfunctions.

This set contains 3 Shaltari Cutters, all able to be built as either Caesium or Gallium variants. There are parts to build 3 ships, of either variant, giving you extra speed and firepower.

Shaltari Cutters do two things and they do them very well: get in quick, and shoot things to pieces! These ships are easy to fit into your list, and provide some really annoying harassers for your opponent. The Caesium is designed to destroy small ships hanging on the back-field, its Light Disruptors much easier to use thanks to the Vectored rule. The Gallium is a little slower, but has a potentially devastating weapon. The Bio Atomiser Array does no damage, but as a Core damage Crippling-Fire weapon, you'll bypass both Energy and Kinetic saves and put a load of Fire tokens on any enemy that gets too close.

Destroyers often sport weaponry much larger than their small size suggests, offering admirals the ability to compete with any enemy vessel in a small and lithe frame. Quick and decisive hunting is synonymous with the Shaltari method of warfare, so it's no surprise that the Chromium, Mercury and Cobalt are often seen in Shaltari fleets.
The Chromium is unusual in that it features a thermal lance cannon, a weapon very similar to the Burnthrough weapons of more primitive races. Where as the Mercury class destroyer features an extremely rare weapon type known as the Pulse Ioniser. These weapons establish an energetic link with the target at close ranges, the potential power of the weapon increasing in relation to the density of the target’s armour, ensuring that nothing is safe from its onslaught. The Cobalt class homeship is essentially a smaller version of the more ubiquitous Emerald class mothership. Its only purpose is to physically convey Shaltari ground forces to the battlespace, from which they can be teleported to the surface via the Voidgate network.

This set contains 3 Shaltari Destroyers, all able to be built as either Chromiums, Mercuries, or Cobalts!

If you like winding arms and strange, fully 3D designs, look no further! The three Destroyers are built in very different ways, making some weird looking ships! The Chromium has a big Burnthrough laser - a rare occurrence for Shaltari. Meanwhile the Mercury is a bit stranger still, its Pulse Ioniser Bank giving a lethal Mauler weapon which rolls to Lock equal to the target's Armour. Finally the Cobalt trades in much of its offensive weaponry (although not all) for the ability to launch ground assets - it's a mini-mothership!

Over 1600 meters long, Dreadnoughts are the largest vessels utilised by the enigmatic Shaltari. Records are sketchy though, as they are incredibly rare and opponents seldom survive an encounter with one. This lethality comes from incredible firepower, shields and peerless scanners. Their captains can wage entire campaigns personally with minimal support. The Plutonium class features a plethora of eldritch weapons, devastatingly flexible in combat. The Uranium is supremely aggressive, attracting the most warlike Starchiefs, desiring the honour and satisfaction of close range slaughter.

Introducing the biggest ships that Dropfleet Commander has ever seen. Although the Shaltari Dreadnought is the smallest of the Dreadnoughts, measuring 175mm in length, it is the most complex of all! Featuring a mirrored and intricate design, it fits perfectly with the rest of a Shaltari fleet.

This set includes parts to make either the Shaltari Plutonium class or the Shaltari Uranium class Dreadnought. With either Distortion Cannons or the 6 Attack Pulse Ioniser Battery (that's double the size of the one on the Mercury), both ships also come with a Launch capacity for for FOUR Gates.

Clear acrylic bases will require super glue and may have a protective blue film on one side that will need removing.

Frigates are small, fast combat vessels designed primarily for flanking and first strike missions. They are the most common fighting ship type present in most fleets in the Reconquest. Some variants also provide vital support roles complementing the efforts of the main fleet. 

This Set includes:

• 4 Frigates
• 4 Dropfleet Bases

Miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly. Plastic Miniatures will need to be assembled using plastic glue. Clear acrylic bases will require super glue and may have a protective blue film on one side that will need removing.

Unlike the familiar Platinum class, the Gold is a far more aggressive vessel. As one of the Shaltari's premier assets the Gold is a worthy chariot for the mightiest of attack-oriented Starchiefs.

The Gold class Supercarrier is relatively new and rarely seen. Mounted upfront is the powerful, close-action microwave arrays of its sister classes. Armed with the Ion Cannonade, the Gold is a terror to almost any vessel, and that’s before its swarms of formidable Shaltari bombers strike. 

Although many Shaltari ships can be considered unusual, the Bronze class battleship is especially so. At the prow, it mounts the fearsome Ion Cannonade. On the ship’s back, it mounts a Gravitic Beamer. While damaging enough on a basic level, this weapon’s real threat comes from its effectiveness against ships in atmosphere and its tendency to literally shove ships forward, often into unfortunate places. Lastly, the ship mounts twin broadside crescents of microwave emitters for close-in killing power.

Closely related to the Bronze, the Silver class battleship also features a broadside microwave array and a prow-mounted Gravitic Beamer, but replaces the Ion Cannonade with the spectacular Obliterator Cannon. These generate a cracking flow of unstable, rare particles, then channels them through a small emitter nozzle at the unfortunate target. For a Shaltari weapon, It is uncharacteristically random in its destructive power.

• 1 Resin Miniature
• 1 Dropfleet

The Helium Voidflyer is a slippery adversary and a worrying technological twist in Shaltari naval combat. Troops on the ground are sadly familiar with the aliens’ capricious ability to teleport battlefield-level vehicles in and out of hot zones via their gate network. On a strategic level, naval planers have considered this tech limited to deployment of smaller constructs - not so, it seems.The Helium can leverage the existing voidgate network to teleport across the battlespace instantaneously. That the Helium is orders of magnitude larger than anything previously known to possess this ability has raised concerns at the highest level as to what it means for the future - is this new tech, or have the aliens simply deigned to switch tactics? Either way, the prospect of whole starships vanishing and appearing at will likely chill the blood of any captain, despite the small size and short ranged weapons of this new threat.

This set contains 6 Shaltari Helium Voidflyers. In a horseshoe design, these ships are covered in the standard Shaltari detail - hope you like painting dots!

Cast in a single piece, the model has fine detail and an aggressive look. The Helium is unique in the Shaltari arsenal in that it is the largest ship able to use the Voidgate network to teleport! Put a squad near a friendly Voidgate and they can teleport down the chain to another part of the battlefield, ready to fire with their Pulse Blasters.

This set includes:

• 6 Resin Miniatures
• 6 Dropfleet Bases

Shaltari warfleets thrive on speed, reflexes, and hyper-advanced firepower. Their light tonnage vessels exemplify this and are among their most feared hunter-killers. Ships like the Mercury, Chromium, and Caesium are all focused little executioners. However, classes like the Selenium, Cobalt, and Helium serve to augment and reinforce the Shaltari’s voidgate network, adding priceless tactical utility.

Still others specialise in the most eldritch forms of offense such as the Gallium bio-hazard cutter. Lastly, the dreaded Glass Cloudflier is among the fastest atmospheric-capable ships yet encountered.

This box includes

• 1 Cutter
• 2 Corvettes
• 2 Lighters
• 1 Monitor
• 2 Destroyers
• 8 Dropfleet Bases

Much as with the Scourge, monitors are an unusual fit in Shaltari fleets, due to their low speed and consequent lack of finesse. Instead, Shaltari types fulfil a rearguard role.

The most frequently seen is the Silicon class, armed with a quad-bank of tilt-able ion cannons, giant versions of those commonly found on Kukri grav-tanks. While these effectively damage ships in higher orbital layers, their true value is in disrupting the power systems of larger ships.

Most Shaltari ground forces reach the surface via Voidgates - ubiquitous, unglamorous ships. Voidgates tend to be lightly armoured and unarmed, making them easy targets. However, sometimes the Shaltari need to guarantee landings planetside, so rely on heavier ships. The Selenium class is one such vessel. It has the transference capacity of a Voidgate, and guns designed to fire out of atmosphere at starships. This allows the Selenium to defend the ground troops deployed through it.

This set contains 3 Shaltari Monitors. These small ships are slow moving, and struggle to manoeuvre, but make up for that by targeting between Low and High Orbit without penalty, and having unparalleled armour for that size of ship.

This pack makes three ships, buildable as either Silicon class Monitors or Selenium class Escort Frigates. The Silicon's Quad Ion Cannon is a high powered weapon in itself, but also causes Energy Surges to enemy ships. The Selenium answers the prayers of Shaltari players, giving a Voidgate with heavy armour (for Shaltari) that also has great offensive capability across orbital layers.

This set includes:

• 3 Monitors
• 3 Dropfleet Bases

Clear acrylic bases will require super glue and may have a protective blue film on one side that will need removing.

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.

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

This set includes:

• 1 Resin Miniature
• 1 Dropfleet Base

Although rare, the Shaltari do sometimes set up more permanent bases. Seen in heaviest numbers before the jump to the Battle for Earth, a Shaltari Anchor stops enemy ships in their tracks with sub-light and Foldspace dampeners. The Shuriken takes a more active defence role with a devastating array of Disintegrators.

The Shaltari are joining the space station club! With a wildly different design to the boxy human space stations, the five vanes are synonymous with the Shaltari design ethos.

This kit makes either a fully armed Shuriken Space Station or a very annoying Anchor Space Station. The Shuriken is armed with with 5 independent Disintegrator Banks which can fire in all directions! The Anchor trades firepower for pure annoyance. Acting as a link in the Voidgate network is already a pain for opponents, but it also forces nearby enemy ships onto Station Keeping, further frustrating your opponent.

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

The bizarre nature of these 'ships' has resulted in the unique classification of 'Voidgate', devoid as they are of unique character. Indeed, the Shaltari seem to share this opinion, rarely naming them and/or giving them more than a skeleton crew. 

This set contains 6 Shaltari Voidgates. You needed more? Well here you go!

Voidgates are essential to the Shaltari method of dropping troops in Dropfleet, and now you no longer have to buy more Cruiser sprues if you want a few extra in your fleet.

The Venice class is a purpose-built light command ship. In lieu of firepower, its extensive antenna array and optical suite enhances the command and control capabilities of its staff, making it one of the most suitable vessels for any tactically
prudent admiral.

The Rome’s cavernous launch tubes berth two capital ship-killing heavy torpedoes. Aiding it in its charge into launch range is an array of point defence lasers exceeding anything one might expect even for a ship of its size.

The Perth class favours an enormous Viper super-heavy anti-ship laser, one of the largest weapons ever to be mounted to a UCM vessel. The massive generators and power storage facilities needed to feed this beast precludes the launch bays featured in the Johannesburg, although the Perth compensates by doubling the UF-4200 mass driver armament of its sister class.

The Johannesburg class was designed around an entirely new hull created for the specific requirements of battlecruisers. Its primary armament is a pair of huge quad UF-6400 mass driver turrets, a more potent array of this calibre than a Beijing class battleship. It also features launch capacity equivalent to a Seattle class Fleet Carrier.

This box includes:

• 2 Resin Battlecruisers
• 2 Dropfleet bases

Resin miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled. Other ships and gaming mats are for scale purposes only. Clear acrylic bases will require super glue and may have a protective blue film on one side that will need removing.

The Beijing class is an extremely resilient vessel which packs extensive firepower, namely nine UF-6400 mass drivers in three turrets, twelve UF-4200 mass drivers in four turrets and one Cobra laser, not to mention scores of missile bays and banks of point defence lasers. It is currently one of the most popular commands of the UCMF’s Admirals and for good reason – few ships the UCM has on active service are as effective in the annihilation of any enemy as the formidable Beijing. Most of the UCMF’s battleships are surrounded by tales of their illustrious deeds, their names etched into the collective consciousness of the colonial citizenry and this class has no shortage of legends.

The New York class is one of the most in-demand ships in the UCMF since its flexibility and awesome power are almost unparalleled. A later development of the Beijing class, it replaces the former’s heavy turrets with a gigantic voidcraft hangar for launching scores of lethal fighters and bombers. It also replaces the Cobra laser with an enormous torpedo tube and internal storage for two of these devastating munitions.

The colossal Tokyo class battleship is one of the most specialised ships of this tonnage level in the UCMF. While based on the Beijing design, this class dispenses with its main mass driver battery in favour of three turreted UF/B-8000 bombard cannons, making this one of the most formidable orbital bombardment platforms anywhere in the Reconquest. Only the UCM has need of a battleship sized vessel designed for this purpose, such is the scale of the mighty undertaking.

It is 2679, and war rages on a Galactic scale. After almost a decade on the offensive against the vile alien Scourge, the United Colonies of Mankind is battle-scarred but unbroken. Its Reconquest, a grand endeavour to reclaim its heartlands and Earth itself, hangs in the balance.
A mighty new generation of utilitarian warships and vengeful soldiers rush to the frontlines, but the UCM’s alliances with other human factions are crumbling, the parasites are fighting back viciously, and a new threat has emerged. The mighty UCMF must respond, or humanity is doomed.
This box includes:

The Santiago class corvette is a small, atmospheric-capable vessel of sub-frigate tonnage. These nimble, fast ships were designed for a single purpose - hunting down enemy atmospheric fleet assets. They are armed with a potent array of air-to-air missiles, utterly lethal to the frigate sized vessels that are its favourite prey. In particular, strike carriers and their precious cargo are prime targets since these strategically vital ships are shielded from the majority of enemy fire while operating in atmosphere.

Santiagos are favoured by the most aggressive captains fresh from Niccolum's Naval Academy. Atmospheric combat is not for the faint of heart as it must be fought only at close range where the small Santiago is always vulnerable to return fire. The uniquely challenging nature of these operations is a fiery crucible from which many budding captains do not return, but those that do are often destined for greatness in the future.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS SPRUE IS NOT THE SAME AS THE ONE FOUND IN THE 2-PLAYER STARTER AND CORE SHIPS BOX.

Cruisers are the most common size of capital ship and form the backbone of almost every fleet fighting in the Reconquest. They offer an excellent and flexible combination of speed, firepower and versatility. The standard cruiser hull is so ubiquitous that its design has been redefined many times for a wide variety of roles.

These multi-part hard plastic lavishly detailed 1:9150 (0.2mm) scale miniatures can be assembled as up to nine different classes, including cruisers, heavy cruisers (using parts from a second sprue), fleet carriers, light cruisers and troopships!

This set includes:

• 1 Cruisers
• 1 Dropfleet Base

Miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly. Plastic Miniatures will need to be assembled using plastic glue. Clear acrylic bases will require super glue and may have a protective blue film on one side that will need removing.

Reykjaviks generally operate ahead of the main fleet and are often tasked with making the first small but crucial kills in an engagement, using a pair of fixed UF-9000-S mass drivers: short-barrelled versions of those found on dreadnought turrets. The Nuuk’s ability to directly damage an opponent is limited, but a concentrated, close-range blast from its Haywire Blaster can render an enemy ship confused and unable to compute complex tasks, such as plotting firing solutions for all weapons.

This set contains 3 UCM Cutters, all able to be built as either Reykjavik or Nuuk variants. There are parts to build 3 ships, of either variant, offering brand new options to the UCM.

Although not the fastest ships in the game, the UCM Cutters are tied for the fastest ships in the fleet, and with Vectored as well, that's maximum mobility! The Reykjavik is the ultimate in UCM interceptors: get in quick and unleash a hailstorm of mass driver fire! You'll have to be careful with positioning to make the most out of them. The Nuuk is anything but straightforward! Its Haywire Blaster does no damage, but shuts down an enemy ship's systems, sending them onto Standard Orders for the round. Especially deadly against Scourge on Silent Running, or large ships like Dreadnoughts!
