Starships

Umgah ships are very slow, with a short-range cone-shaped spray of antimatter that sprouts out from the front of their pod-shaped ship. This attack is very damaging and can be maintained indefinitely, providing a shield against most attacks from that direction. The Umgah ship also has a special ability that allows it to put on tremendous bursts of short-lived speed moving backward. With skill, a pilot can use this ability to dash out in front of an opponent's ship so that it passes into the antimatter cone before it can maneuver. However, due to the Drone's low crew number and difficulty in piloting, it is often considered by players to be a poor fighting ship.
