Due to the ''Nisos'' recent appearance on the battlefield, it's still only used in small numbers. While their numbers may be small, they have had a huge impact on the invading ''Punishers'' and ''Decimators''. The ''Nisos'' is used mostly in fleets, and is rarely seen alone, as the ''Nisos'' has trouble dealing significant hull damage, so other ships such as the ''Chimera-S'' or ''Orion-X'' are used to support the ''Nisos'' against targets with disabled shields. The ''Nisos'' has plenty of range, due to it's state-of-the-art energy lances, but it struggles against small targets as it lacks light weaponry. The ''Nisos'' is utilized by the U.N.E. in fleets to take out large, high priority targets such as ''Punishers''. While still a new sight on the battlefield, the Kneall have quickly learned not to underestimate this battleship. | Due to the ''Nisos'' recent appearance on the battlefield, it's still only used in small numbers.

The ''Sovereign-X'' is a remastered version of the ''Sovereign''-Class Battleship, remastered by the original creator of the ''Sovereign'', Event Horizon Shipyards. The original ''Sovereign'' was designed by the U.N.E. to counter the rising firepower of Kneall warships. The U.N.E. hired the famous Event Horizon Shipyards to build their new warship. The ''Sovereign'' was in huge demand on the markets due to its very respectable firepower and amazing durability, while it's compact shape led to lower costs. The ''Sovereign-X'' has received many upgrades from its original design, which means the ''Sovereign-X'' is classified as a Dreadnought, rather than the Battleship classification of the original Sovereign. The newer ''Sovereign-X'' only is slightly more durable than the original counterpart, despite being considered a Dreadnought. The ''Sovereign-X's'' weapons are also not much better than the original ''Sovereign'', with some even calling them worse. It's total damage output is slightly less than the original version on paper, but the ''Sovereign-X'' uses more high-accuracy turrets, which helps it counter swarms of Kneall. The ''Sovereign-X'' does have an ace up it's sleeve however, as it's top speed is 66% higher and it's turn speed is twice as fast. This allows the ''Sovereign-X'' to dodge a substantial number of high-caliber shots from Kneall Capitol Ships. This great speed comes at the cost of an extremely small cargo hold for it's class. | |||
Ever since it's adoption by the U.N.E, the ''Sovereign''-Class Battleship has participated in many large battles. After many years in service, the ''Sovereign'' was decommissioned, but U.N.E. saw potential in a redesign for the ship. When the ''Sovereign-X'' was rolled off of production lines, it was hailed as the U.N.E.'s new super-warship. In it's first battle, 2 ''Sovereign-Xs'' were destroyed, while there were no losses from the ''Judgements'', a Dreadnought class predating even the original ''Sovereign''. Critics were quick to blame Event Horizon Shipyards for the ''Sovereign-X's'' poor performance. These complaints have merit, as the ''Sovereign-X'' is more expensive than the original ship, while seeming to perform worse. Despite the ''Sovereign-X's'' shaky start, it is used heavily by the U.N.E. for it's quick deployment times and good firepower. Since that fateful first battle, the ''Sovereign-X'' has performed better, but the U.N.E's new ship, the ''Nisos''-Class Battleship, is much more cost effective and counters the Kneall better with it's anti-shield armament. Both the ''Sovereign'' and ''Sovereign-X'' favor cannons and kinetic weapons, which make them sub-optimal for fighting the Kneall threat. But the U.N.E. has found a new niche for the ''Sovereign-X'', as Pirates often make ships out of scrapped ship hulls, and this is where most of their armor comes from. This makes the ''Sovereign-X'' extremely effective against Pirate ships, and it is the best ship the U.N.E. has at it's disposal for this purpose. | |||
