Each fighter is as follows: Mini Alpha Warlock, Mini Beta Behemoth, Mini Alpha Naglfar, Mini Alpha Leviathan, Mini Beta Andromeda, and Mini Alpha Cyclops.
Interior
The Alpha Ship's Interior consists of a detailed bridge with a pilot's seat, screens and two teleporters. Sitting in the pilot's chair the teleporter on the right sends you to a box with 2 red bunk beds and a screen with a 3D view of the alpha ship. The teleporter on the left sends you to the hanger, before you reach the fighters there is a 3D hologram showing the Alpha ship fighting an Alien fleet.
