The Stormbringer was the first Carrier to be added, introduced in version .40.

Description
The Stormbringer's exterior looks very 'postmodern' in design. it has many different segments and spike-like protrusions at random angles. The ship's colour scheme is strictly greyscale.
Interior
The Stormbringer has one teleport to the cockpit, which contains a simple grey room with a chair sitting in front of 2 screens. For some reason there is no teleporter leading to the hangar: another dull grey room with large 'orifices' to the outside of the ship either side. Behind each 'orifice' are 2 Wraths.
Advantages
- Has a decent amount of fighters.
- Has balanced shield and hull DPS.
- Cheapest carrier in the game.
Disadvantages
- Not very maneuverable.
- Can't face off against bigger Ships without the help of the Fighters.
- Fighter bay doors aren't solid, enabling small ships and other Fighters to pass through if not destroyed fast enough.
- While the fighters have good Shield damage, they are incredibly lacking with Hull damage, leaving this carrier practically useless against Capital Ships that are hull tanks, Starbases, and planets without support from a ship with a decent compliment of kinetic weaponry.
- MASSIVE blind spot beneath the ship.
Strategy
- Good for launching Fighter Swarms, as the wraths have high firepower and they are provided in sufficient amounts to effectively assault a base.

Trivia

- The Stormbringer's original model was nicknamed "The Shoebox"
