|description = A highly venerated vessel, from lowly pirates, to the galaxy's most feared armadas; the Hawklight-class battleship excels at efficiently and mercilessly tearing its way through enemy hull.

A popular [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]] for new and experienced players alike. Many players have used the '''Hawklight''' for [[Sieging|Sieges]]; however, it also shines as a PvP ship. Its powerful array of [[Turrets]] and [[Spinals]] allow it to quickly destroy ships of many different sizes. The placement of the Turrets makes it very easy to land the first few hits, but if facing more agile ships with turn speeds comparable to the [[Gryphon]], the '''Hawklight''' will have difficulty landing powerful hits. One could consider this ship a hull-breaking counterpart to the [[Warden]], an extremely similar ship with a shield-oriented weapons array being the only feature that sets it apart from the '''Hawklight'''. | A popular [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]] for new and experienced players alike.

You'll enter an empty dock port with a single teleporter to the bridge, and inside the bridge is a fairly detailed room with a single pilot's seat facing an orange triangle. The back of the triangle is another white triangle, and it is rather weird. There are two doors on the side that do not lead anywhere and cannot be walked through. | ||
