The Hangar
What the AAF can fit to your fighter between runs. Everything here shapes how a run STARTS — nothing rescues one.
SHIPS
CHEVRON
The scrap-hauler. Flows through the vein. The balanced first hull every pilot learns the tunnels in.
DART
Turns faster. Take plates without slowing down — but flies a twistier vein. Agility is never free.
MULE
The brick. Starts patched, shrugs off rock — but turns like a barge. For pilots who'd rather absorb than dodge.
WEAPONS
BOLT
The workhorse. Precise, patient. Every fighter launches with it, and it never stops being enough.
SPREAD
Coverage. Kills what you aren't pointing at — made for the chambers where everything comes at once.
LANCE
One shot, one kill. Miss and you wait. At its peak it pierces — a lined-up formation dies as one.
MK II & MK III TIERS
Each weapon can be certified to launch at level 2 or 3 — the firepower you used to earn mid-run, riding with you from the mouth. Tech in the tunnels still levels you past it.
SYSTEMS
NANOWELD
Salvage plates weld half again as strong — +18 hull from every plate instead of +12.
BANDOLIER I & II
A third, then a fourth smart bomb on the rack — launch with it full and clear the worst rooms on your terms.
AAF PLATING I & II
Extra hull integrity at launch, ten points a tier. It doesn't make the rock softer; it makes your mistakes survivable.
AEGIS CELL
The shield enhancer holds two seconds longer — ten seconds of indestructible instead of eight. The fire, as always, is not impressed.
