Template:CenteredHeadersVela Aerospace travel is a facet of daily life in every corner of Kachiro. Over the thousands of years, corporations and space agencies have designed a myriad air- and spaceships, gradually necessitating the development of standardized categorization systems. In the present day, the following systems are widely recognized by the constellation's superpowers.
Triton Model
The Triton model divides ships into overarching categories based travel capabilities in air and space.
Aerial
Airplanes
Hovercopters
Orbital
Shuttles
Shuttles are ships that are largely used in surface-to-orbit and interplanetary travel, equipped with less speedy Seraph drives in order to sustain stable continuum distortions.They are transported by ferries through rifts, unable to tolerate any reality breaches alone.
Starcruisers
Starcruisers are capable of both surface-to-orbit travel and interstellar flight, a versatile middle ground between the interplanetary shuttles and orbital voidships. Consequently, they are the prevailing class in the constellation, frequently observed in the hands of navies, businesses, and civilians. Reality breaches in rift space prove to be the greatest barrier to travel, and they have to be actively evaded. Any indirect contact, which is largely unavoidable, requires the ship to recharge.
Voidships
Voidships are a category of vessels that are too massive to descend on any celestial bodies, relying on shuttles to conduct planetary business. Their specialized construction is easily able to tolerate endless Seraph distortions, negate any breaches in riftspace, and easily cross intergalactic routes. Starcruisers are the backbone of the intergalactic society and single-handedly uphold the infrastructure in nearly every region of the constellation.

Spaceplanes
Imperial System
The Imperial system is designed to divide the roles of military vessels by their weaponry and flight characteristics.
