* '''New ship construction''' is strained due to a lack of resources from the war, and most warships are pieced and parted together from the battle remains of lost vessels.

* '''Caitians''' are hardcore isolationists that managed to momentarily thwart the Xith invasion of their homeworld. Just how they did this remains a mystery. However, their initial good fortune with the enemy is why most ships had brought common-house cats on board. There was hope that something inherently biological in the animal would be beneficial – later it just became a symbol of luck to have a cat, or cats, aboard. They also kept the rodent population at bay. It is believed that the Caitians seclusion from other species, and their refusal to accept help from the outside lead to their extinction via the Xith.

These weapons have proven effective against the Xith and their vessels. | * '''Coil Rifles & Pistols''' are electromagnetic projectile weapons that do not use gas explosives.
