It was unknown as to what caused the crash and what happened to the crew, but it was expected the Shadows had a hand in it. The only person left on the ship was Dr. Isaac Ward, who at the time was still in cryo for 1 month after the crash.

According to Dr.Ward, he witnessed the crashing of the RWI *Reliant*. The majority of the *Reliant*'s crew died upon impact while the remaining crew members were supposedly captured by Shadow forces.

### Planet Wars

In 0 ABE, The RWI *Eclipse* and the RWI *Orion* crashed onto the planet after retreating from a deadly Battle at Epsilon Base The *Eclipse* only had one survivor, Grand Admiral Jack Roberts, who builds a base and finds another survivor of a crashed ship, Finbar. Meanwhile, the remaining survivors of the Orion took a Valkyrie Dropship to a nearby mountain and found an abandoned communications outpost. Almost immediately after transmitting a distress call, they were attacked by Shadow Forces under the command of Admiral Sark. but not before the antenna got the signal to Jack Roberts and he came to assist. By the time he got there however the survivors were captured by Sark and a Shadow fighter began to attack the RWI Wyvern Dropship.

In informal settings, Vice Admirals are typically referred to simply as "Admiral," but may be also referred to as a "three-star Admiral" to distinguish it from the other ranks of Admiral, so named for the three star rank insignia worn on the uniform.

## Role

Vice Admirals generally command the numbered fleets around RWI controlled space, and are in charge of the naval components of each of the regional unified commands. Of the five numbered fleets, four have command ships which act as the Vice Admiral's flagship.
Elon V

**Elon V** is a planet which was under Red Wood Industries control.

## History

Admiral Adam Williams was on the planet when he was abushed by Shadow forces at Alpha Base. RWI sent a rescue fleet led by the RWI Apollo which fought against the Shadow Cruisers blockading the planet while a small team aboard a Valkyrie reascued the admrial and other RWI Forces.

## Description

Elon V appears to be a desert planet and the only known location is a small RWI Outpost known as Alpha Base.
RWI Science Corvette

The RWI Eclipse, a modified RWI Science Corvette.

The RWI Science Corvette was an RWI model designed specifically for use in the RWI Science Division.

## Design

The RWI Science Corvette has a unique design. The ship has a bulky end, but a thin front with a large glass window, most likely designed for exploration. The corvette also has a small hangar that can store one RWI Saber Star Fighter. The engine room is quite small, and it provides a console for the chief engineer to work in. Following the success of the modifications made to the RWI Eclipse, an updated class of corvette was created taking name after the ship herself, the Eclipse Class.

## The RWI Eclipse

The RWI Eclipse is the only known model of the corvette to exist, and has a unique history. The ship is currently MIA along with the RWI Serenity in deep space. The Eclipse was a modified version of the Science Corvette, and became even more modified during the events of Space Engineers: Planet Wars. RWI Eclipse data file:

// Information //

The RWI Eclipse is the current Flagship of Grand Admiral Jack Roberts. Originally the “Eclipse Class” was a science exploration corvette, designed to scout out local systems and even venture into deep space on rare exploration missions. After the destruction of the Grand Admiral's former flagship the RWI Phantom, Jack Roberts chose the newly completed RWI Eclipse, first of its class, as his new flagship while his other project -REDACTED- was in production. Once chosen by the Admiral the Eclipse received extensive upgrades to its main systems, an A.I core was fitted in as well as more room for command and tactical information to be displayed. Essentially all science equipment was ripped out and replaced with the military tech that most RWI ships utilized.

During “The First Battle of Epsilon” the RWI Eclipse sustained damage to its starboard engine while attempting to go FTL, this later caused it to crash on a Planet . After almost two months on the planet the Admiral along with some other people attempted to rebuild the Eclipse so they could escape and find there way back to RWI Space. Ultimately this plan had to be abandoned initially due to the Shadows taking control of the crash site. Eventually the Eclipses “on-board” A.I “DJ” took control of the ship after the Shadows made the effort of repairing here to her former glory.

Now the Eclipse is modified version of its initial design, relying more on Hydrogen thrusters and advanced power generation to move the ship around. With the loss of its primary crew the ship makes use of its A.I to operate the ship.

Jack's Marauder

The Marauder at Jack's Base

The **Marauder** is a land vehicle created by Red Wood Industries for long distant movement on planets and moons.

## Planet Wars

The *Marauder* was created by Grand Admiral Jack Roberts in order for Finbar Hawkes to do long-distance mining without the Wyvern. However, due to continued mechanical failure, constant repairs and maintenance, the *Marauder* was placed into the base's underground garage.

The *Marauder* was abandoned and most likely destroyed when shadow forces attacked Jack's Base.

## Trivia

The real reason for the Marauder's sudden disappearance in the series was because of Space Engineers wheel glitches. According to Jack, the Marauder had just exploded one day when he had popped into the Planet Wars world.
Sam Ryan

"*There is something out there, in the Shadows."* - Commander Sam Ryan's Log Entry

## Sam Ryan

### Occupation

Tactical Officer of RWI Phantom (formerly)Acting CO of RWI Orion

### Voice Actor

Rysome / LplateGamer

**Commander Sam Ryan** is the acting commanding officer of the RWI *Orion*.

## History

Little is known about Sam Ryan prior to the events in Planet Wars apart from him being assigned as Tactical Officer on-board the RWI *Phantom*.

During the battle of Epsilon Base, due to the original commanding officer of the RWI *Orion* not being present during its evacuation, Grand Admiral Jack Roberts placed Commander Ryan as acting captain of the ship.

### Planet Wars

Like the RWI *Eclipse* and G.A. Jack Roberts, Commander Ryan and the RWI *Orion* crashed onto the Earth-Like Planet. Commander Ryan and several crew members survived the Orion's impact onto the planet and started figuring out a way of contacting Red Wood Industries. At some point during the duration at the *Orion's* crash site, Ryan had begun to suspect that something in the Shadows were now watching them.

Before Ryan and the surviving crew members departed from the *Orion's* crash site, he left an automated message to be broadcasted, warning people not to approach the Orion, and left a personal log on the ship's bridge.

   Some time after Ryan's departure from the Orion, he and his crew came across an abandoned communications tower atop a mountain. Unfortunately, Shadow forces managed to track him and his crew down to the tower. After transmitting his location to anyone within broadcasting range, he joined his crew in fighting off the Shadows.

   Despite fighting valiantly, the members of his crew were killed in action and both the communication tower and sole dropship were destroyed. Commander Ryan himself was captured by Admiral Sark. The only remains indicating Commander Ryan's presence on the mountain were found by Admiral Jack Roberts hours later: a .45 ACP Burst Pistol and some ammunition.

## Behind the scenes

The "Commander Ryan" story was a loose end in Planet Wars for quite some time, as the original voice actor (Rysome) for Ryan was no longer available.

We were offered some closure to the Commander Ryan story-line in the finale of Planet Wars titled FINALE.

Jack has stated that he wants to continue his story at a later date, possibly in Space Engineers: Red Wood.
RWI Ethon

The RWI Ethon, having suffered extreme damage from unknown hostiles

The **RWI Ethon** was an RWI Defender class ship that was in service for Red Wood Industries.

## History

### Before Battle of Epsilon

The *Ethon* was attacked by an unknown enemy force, later to be known as the Shadows, and suffered extreme damage. A survivor from attack sent out a distress call, which was picked up by the RWI *Eclipse*.

It is currently unknown if the *Ethon* was repaired or disassembled.

The Black Vault

**The Black Vault** is a highly classified and restricted facility located on the RWI homeworld of Icarus. The Vault is known only to high ranking officials of RWI as well as those who are permitted access.

## History

Not much is really known about the facility but its purpose appears to be to test and store highly experimental projects, extracts from the logs of Grand Admiral Jack Roberts revealed that his A.I Project was based at the Vault at some point. Other information that has been gathered appears to point to a project "Exodus" being researched or constructed here, however further information on this project is locked under the orders of the current Grand Admiral.
The Zelix

The Zelix approaching the RWI Ardent Moon

**The Zelix** is the Shadow's most powerful ship in their fleet. The commanding officer in charge of the Zelix is Admiral Sark.

## History

The Zelix was the ship responsible for what took place at the First Battle of Epsilon Base It managed to single-handedly destroy Epsilon Base along with several RWI Defender-Class vessels. The Zelix also managed to severely damaged the RWI *Eclipse* and RWI *Orion*before they escaped. "(Space Engineers: Epsilon)"

### Planet Wars

According to the latest battle reports known to Captain Ryan "Venom" Kazz, the Zelix was still at the location of Epsilon Base and eventually entered battle, single-handedly, with the RWI *Apollo* and an RWI reinforcement fleet, inadvertently creating the Second Battle of Epsilon Base The RWI *Definatly* and the RWI *Charon* were lost with all hands and the RWI *Apollo* lost a flight pod. "(PW RWI Update)"

After some time, the Shadow Man ordered Admiral Sark to the Earth-Like Planet to capture several high-priority targets and traveled there on the Zelix. The Zelix was still in planetary orbit when the RWI *Ardent Moon* made it to the Earth-Like planet. The shields on the *Ardent Moon*, along with its hull and engines, was severely crippled by the Zelix's main laser weapons and resulted in the *Ardent Moon's* crash onto the planet surface. "(PW KIDNAPPED!!!)", "(Missing in Action!)", (COMMANDER RYAN SOS!)", "(The Broken Signal...)"

Its current location is unknown but the Zelix is still being used by Admiral Sark in the war against Red Wood Industries and the Galactic Council. "(PW FINALE)"
RWI Valkyrie Dropship

The **RWI Valkyrie Dropship**is a ground troop transport capable of flight in both space and atmosphere.

## History

### Planet Wars

A civilian variant of the Valkyrie was seen at Antenna Outpost 01. Commander Sam Ryan considered using the dropship upon finding it on a landing pad at the base. It was subsequently destroyed in the battle between Shadow forces and Commander Ryan's RWI personnel.

There are two RWI Valkyries assigned to the RWI *Serenity*. The first one was seen deploying Commander Marcus Ford and his fireteam to assist Grand Admiral Jack Roberts and Captain Ryan "Venom" Kazz. A second Valkyrie was later confirmed when it was deployed to assist the remaining Hellfire squadron members during the *Serenity*'s battle with the Shadow Command Carrier.

### Serenity

Two RWI Valkyrie Dropships were deployed by the RWI *Osiris* to assist in retaking Dagger Base. Due to active weapons on the platform, Commander Ford and his fireteam were sent in first to eliminate Shadow forces on the landing platform. The fireteam was successful with clearing the platform and both Valkyries were able to approach and land safely.

## Variants

### Civilian Variant

There were civilian variants of the Valkyrie painted gray and blue like most civilian dropships.

### RWI Variant

The RWI Variant of the dropship was painted red and black and had enough space in the back to carry a strike team.

### Spec Ops Valkyrie

The Spec Ops Valkyrie is a modified version of the Valkyrie Dropship used by RWI personnel. The vehicle as the name suggests is used for stealth missions like infiltration. The armament is lighter than in the basic model but supplementary communications systems were implemented. The only known Spec Ops Valkyrie is the Cinder-One.

## Trivia

* The RWI Valkyrie Dropship was designed by YouTuber and voice actor Venom415. The original build was called the RCSP Valkyrie.

Commanding Officer

A **commanding officer**, abbreviated **CO**, **skipper**, or **ship's captain** was a term used to describe one's hierarchical position in relation to others within the same environment. On starships, it was general practice to address the commanding officer as "**captain**", regardless of their actual rank or position. Proper naval parlance said that, even if a vessel was commanded by an officer whose rank was lower than captain, that officer was still able to be referred to as a captain while on the deck of their own vessel, no matter their literal commissioned rank. In some cases, the term "**commander**" was the chosen title.

## Military Units

One meaning of commanding officer was the highest-ranking officer and commander of a unit. On starships, the CO usually held the rank of captain, though sometimes a commodore or fleet captain may have also held this position. On starbases, the CO was sometimes referred to as "portmaster" and was usually a flag officer. Some bases, however, were commanded by commodores, captains or commanders.

Aboard starships, it was the commanding officer's duty, "*whether pleasant or unpleasant, to listen to the reports, observations, even speculations, on any subject that might affect the safety*" of their vessel.

It was also possible for lower ranks to be the commanding officer aboard a starship. Captain was a title typically held by commanders of merchant vessels and sometimes service craft. In general, commanding officers were dressed in the colors of the command division, but there were some exceptions in RWI uniform usage.

## Chain of Command

The term "commanding officer" could also be used to refer to the officer whom one directly reported to in the chain of command or in a department. Occasionally, it simply identified an officer of higher rank in comparison to another, or the officer with the most experience if more than one officer held the highest rank at the time, although this was usually referred to as a ranking officer.
RWI Helford

The **RWI Helford** is a Defender Class MKII frigate operated by Red Wood Industries.

## History

The RWI *Helford* was one of the three frigates which took part in the Battle of Elon V under the command of the RWI Apollo and Admiral Isaac Sheppard in an attempt to rescue Admiral Adam Williams from the surface. The ship survived the battle and succesfully jumped away alongside the rest of the fleet.
RWI Osiris

The Osiris

The **RWI Osiris** is one of the few existing RWI Daedalus class vessels built by Red Wood Industries.

The *Osiris* was assigned to be the lead ship for the Icarus Defense Force, otherwise known as the Home Fleet.

## History

The RWI *Osiris* was constructed and launched in the year 2729. It's original Captain is unknown however at some point before 2734, Captain Michael Sheppard was appointed Commanding Officer of the *Osiris* where Commander Marcus Ford served as a tactical officer.

### Serenity

The RWI *Osiris* was sent to Dukat III in order to recapture Dagger Base from occupying Shadow forces. Commander Ford, who was tactical officer aboard the *Osiris* at the time, and two other RWI officers were sent to the planet in order to take the base's landing platform. *Osiris* later deployed two Valkyrie dropships to assist in the recapture of the base once Ford's fireteam had finished cleared the landing platform.

First Battle of Epsilon Base

The **First Battle of Epsilon** was a major event in the Red Wood Universe. It was, presumably, the first large battle between Red Wood Industries and the Shadows. The outcome of the Battle of Epsilon lead to the events on Planet X38.

## Cause

The First Battle of Epsilon took place due to the desire for the Shadows to obtain The Artifact for reasons yet unknown to RWI.

## Outcome

During the battle, the RWI *Hyperion* crashed on the surface of the planet and the RWI *Norway* with the RWI *Resolution* were Destroyed in orbit by the Shadow Dreadnought known only as 'The Zelix'. The RWI *Eclipse* and the RWI *Orion*did survive the battle with the Zelix but were heavily damaged. As a result, the remaining ships fled into uncharted space and were deemed missing-in-action or declared lost with all hand.

The *Eclipse* and *Orion* were the only RWI vessels to have survived the attack on Epsilon Base and to have crashed onto Planet X38. Due to severe battle damage, both vessels crashed as they were not atmosphere capable.

This battle was superseded by the Second Battle of Epsilon Base.

## Trivia

Presumably, the upcoming machinima called Epsilon will revolve around the events of the Battle of Epsilon
Base Developments!

**Base Developments!** is the fourth episode in Planet Wars.

## Synopsis

Jack and Finbar get to work on building up the new base.

## Plot

Jack and Finbar starts to collect components from scattered parts from the *Eclipse*. Jack later installs a storage container into the base in order to remove the need to travel back and forth between the ship and the base.

After some time, a landing pad was built into the base structure for the Raven and a proper entryway was added in order to eliminate the need to use their jetpack to enter.

Once some of the damaged parts were removed from the Raven and the conveyor system was repaired, Jack and Fin heads out to the crashed mining ship to gather more supplies and materials.

While they headed off, an unknown signal is picked up on the *Eclipse*'s computer.

Repairs & Upgrades!

**Repairs & Upgrades!** is the eleventh episode of Planet Wars.

## Synopsis

Jack shows Finbar some improvements he has made to the base.

## Plot

The day begins with Finbar doing some "changes" inside the Eclipse and Jack wanting to showing him something. Jack beings showing Fin the newly-repaired Marauder along with large improvements to the base including an underground room with the base reactor moved there.

Jack starts building more parts to the base and later decides to build an ore detector for the Marauder so Finbar can go mining with it. However, Fin tries to create further modifications to the Marauder by adding two drills onto the front. Jack is skeptical it will actually work but Fin says it will and will take responsibility for fixing the Marauder should it break again. Some time afterwards, Jack measures the dimensions of the Marauder to begin planning an underground hangar.

After measuring the Marauder, Jack moves onto the Wyvern and the base landing pad to finish the connector system to the base. Unfortunately, while Jack was building the connector, Finbar takes the Marauder for mining and flips the rover on the base's hill almost immediately after leaving the base. While Jack showed frustration at the fact the rover was possibly damaged again, he takes the Wyvern to help Finbar turn it back over. Luckily, minimal damage was sustained to the Marauder so it could continues and crosses the nearby ice lake for mining while Jack returns back to the landing pad to finish construction.

After Jack finishes the connector system for the landing pad along with scaffolding to board the ship, he successfully connects the Wyvern to the base. Jack then begins expanding the Marauder's platform into another room for the base. Some time afterwards, while Jack continued construction on the new room, Finbar tells Jack that a wheel from the Marauder has come off. Fin slowly heads back to the base on the remaining three wheels while Jack continues expanding the base.

## Synopsis

Grand Admiral Jack wakes up from a crash on an unknown Planet. No Ship / No Crew / No way out of here!

## Plot

The RWI *Eclipse*has crashed on an unknown planet with the only survivor being Grand Admiral Jack Roberts.

Jack awakens only to find the majority of his ship broken, the crew missing and, after checking the central section of the ship, notices the cargo (the artifact) the *Eclipse* was carrying gone.

After exploring most of the interior in the ship, Jack goes to check the exterior and the surrounding area only finding more parts broken and pieces of his ship scattered around. After examining the remainder of the ship, Jack managed to find several tools and an intact medical station.

Once Jack returned to the bridge, he tries to get confirmation from the *Eclipse* computer. After there was no reply, Jack remembers that the RWI *Orion* and Commander Ryan was along with them and may be in contact range. He then decides to grind down broken parts from his ship in order to create a base and to setup an antenna.

Once the basic foundation for the base was setup, Jack returns to the *Eclipse* and decides to reboot some of the unresponsive systems. However, for the time being, he leaves the systems offline. Jack decides to do some limited repairs and checks the intact cargo containers, finding ammo for a shotgun and several additional components. He later checks engineering but slips into an opening in the floor.

An unknown man (later known as the shadow man) plans to "cleanse" the galaxy while Jack was stuck on the planet. He then orders Admiral Sark to prepare the Zelix for its next mission.

## Plot

Two Shadow officers lead Admiral Sark to the Shadow Man. Once there, the Shadow Man assigns Sark a new priority mission: retrieving Subject Two and Three alive. Sark wonders why this requires his attention and the Shadow Man replies that Subject Three can reveal information to assist in future confrontations with Red Wood Industries. After understanding this, Admiral Sark accepts his mission.

Jack shows Finbar the improvements he made to the base. Some of the improvements included a walkway to the Wyvern and a fully operational rover bay for the Marauder, which Jack decided that Finbar is no longer allowed to drive.

Space Pirates

The Space Pirates were a group of savages who usually attacked unsuspecting ships for loot and supplies. They usually used older/used vessels for raids on outposts and ships.

## History

A few weeks before the First Battle of Epsilon Base a group of pirates using an old Galactic Council ship attacked and destroyed the RWI Phantom. Fortunately, the Command Crew of the Phantom managed to escape in a Valkyrie Class Dropship back to RWI Space. "(Space Engineers: Phantom)"

During the RWI-GC-Shadow Conflict, the RWI Serenity was attacked by pirates during the search for Grand Admiral Jack Roberts and the crew of the RWI Ardent Moon. The crew of the Serenity managed to hold off the pirate ship in time for Hellfire Squadron to destroy the ship. "(SER The Hunt)"
Captain

**Captain** is a commissioned officer rank of the RWI Navy, and is the Naval equivalent of a Colonel in the RWI Marine Division.

Navy Captains typically command a single ship - typically a class larger than a frigate but smaller than a carrier. Navy Captains may also command a battlegroup or a small fleet if they are the senior-most officer present.

## Relation to Marine Captain

The Marine Division rank of **Captain** is ranked three pay grades lower than a Navy Captain. Other than sharing a name and both being officer ranks, the two captain ranks are completely unrelated.
RWI Orion

The Orion stationed at Epsilon Base

The **RWI Orion** is a Defender class frigate that was in service for Red Wood industries. The most senior officer on board was Commander Sam Ryan. It crashed on the surface of the Earth-Like Planet in 0 ABE because of Shadow aggressors. "(Space Engineers: Epsilon)"

## History

At the time of the First Battle of Epsilon Base the *Orion* was considered "old and outdated" as the Defender Classes were slowly breaking down.

The commander at the time was unknown.

## First Battle of Epsilon Base

The *Orion* was present during the First Battle of Epsilon Base, having been stationed at the base during the excavation of the Artifact. The Orion was due to transport "The Artifact" back to Icarus.

When the base fell under attack from the Shadow forces the *Orion* was used to evacuate personnel from Epsilon Base, at the time the original commander of the ship was presumed KIA and not present. Commander Sam Ryan, the most senior military personnel at the time, assumed command of the starship during the evacuation.

While attempting to leave orbit with the RWI Eclipse the *Orion* was targeted by the Shadow Star ship, Zelix. The *Orion* sustained critical damage which caused the jump drive to malfunction. Ultimately the ship jumped to the "X-38" planet along with the RWI Eclipse. As a result of the battle damage, the *Orion*crashed on the Earth-Like Planet. "(Space Engineers: Epsilon)"

## Missing in Action

The surviving crew set out to find any form of contact with the outside world, and left on an emergency transponder with an audio recording warning others to not approach the crash site. "(PW Supply Run!)"

Later on, Grand Admiral Jack Roberts and Finbar Hawkes arrived at the crash site and explored the wreckage. Due to diminished structural integrity, the ship split in half with Jack and Finbar on board. "(PW THE ORION!)"

The two salvaged a new dropship from the *Orion* due to the old one being destroyed by the destruction of the wreck. The crew returned to the *Orion* a few times to get scrap from the wreckage of the ship. Finbar went missing while Jack was at the *Orion* crash site. "(PW Aftermath!)"

The two returned to the wreck for materials several times.
Rear Admiral

**Rear Admiral** is a senior commissioned officer rank of the RWI Navy. It is equal with the rank of Brigadier General in the RWI Marine Division.

In informal settings, Rear Admirals (Upper Half) are typically referred to simply as "Admiral." A Rear Admiral (Upper Half) may be also referred to as a "two-star Admiral" to distinguish it from the other ranks of Admiral, so named for the two star rank insignia worn on the uniform.

## Trivia

* The name comes from the old sailing times. For large fleets, the "Rear Admiral" would be in charge of commanding ships at the rear.
* Rear Admirals were formed from the former rank of Commodore, which fell out of use in the 19th and 20th centuries. Commodores typically led small sized battlegroups of ships, although Captains could also perform this role in the absence of a flag officer.
RWI Argosta

The **RWI Argosta** was a Defender class MKII frigate operated by Red Wood Industries.

## History

The RWI *Argosta* was one of the three Defender MKII frigates which alongside the RWI Apollo took part in the mission to rescue Admiral Adam Williams from the surface of Elon V. The *Argosta* was destroyed by the Shadow forces blockading the planet during the operation.
Shadow Commander

*"Red Wood will be destroyed!"*

- *Shadow Commander statement to Jack Roberts*

The **Shadow Commander**, known simply as **The Commander**, is the main antagonist of Space Engineers: Planet Wars. The Commander appears to be the highest ranking Shadow official on the Earth-Like Planet after Admiral Sark captured RWI Commander Sam Ryan and left the planet.

## History

### Planet Wars

The Shadow Commander, after being placed in charge of Shadow operations on Planet X38, proceeded to obtain the whereabouts of Grand Admiral Jack Roberts from the newly-captured prisoner, Finbar. Unfortunately, due to a lack of security personnel at the Shadow base Finbar was being held, Jack managed to infiltrate the base, rescue Finbar and steal the helicarrier onsite at the base.

He then commanded the attack force which assaulted Jack's base from an Helicarrier which was later shot down by Venom while escaping. Using the alliance between the Shadows and Dr. Isaac Ward he was able to ambush Jack and Venom after exiting from Ward's facility, however after the recovery of the Artifact his corvette was shot by the RWI *Serenity* and Hellfire Squadron leading to its crash.

The Shadow Commander was also in charge of the Shadow Forces during the confrontation with the *Serenity* over the RWI *Eclipse* Crash Site. He personally led the assault team which boarded the RWI ship and later engaged a duel with Grand Admiral Jack Roberts. The firefight started on the hull of the Serenity and then moved to the Commanders' Shadow Carrier where he was wounded by Jack. He then dies when Venom uses the stolen Helicarrier to ram the Shadow vessel.

## Trivia

* It is possible to deduce that the Shadow Commander was third in command of the Shadows. However, this seems very unlikely.
RWI Sparrow Corvette

The **RWI Sparrow class** is a scout and anti-fighter vessel created by Red Wood Industries.

## RWI Lore

*// RWI Transmission //*

*// The Sparrow class is an ageing RWI Scout ship. Known as one of the oldest RWI classes it still serves to the present day, though in limited numbers.*

*The primary role of the Sparrow Class was to scout ahead of larger vessels to determine what they would face before jumping into an active zone. As well as scouting, Sparrows could also be used in anti-fighters roles. Though not specifically designed for this role, they can operate efficiently. The Sparrow Class was planned for decommissioning around one year ago. However, the class was saved and pulled back into active service under the order of Grand Admiral Jack Roberts . They proved extremely useful during the first days of the Shadow War in which they were used as original intended, 20 years after the class's original commission.*

DRONE ATTACK!!!!

**DRONE ATTACK!!!!** is the tenth episode of Planet Wars.

## Synopsis

Jack shows Finbar the new completed Rover but then things take a turn for the worst!

## Plot

Jack starts out the day by showing off the newly-finished Marauder to Finbar. Fin, in his excitement, decided to test the rover out.

However, while Fin was test driving the rover on the ice lake, two Shadow fighter drones attacked the base. Both drones were successfully taken down but the Marauder (possibly due to damage or pilot error) was heavily damaged.

Jack and Fin tried doing some emergency repairs on the Marauder but eventually decided to use the Wyvern in order to airlift it back for more repairs. Due to complications with the merge block on both the Marauder and Wyvern, they had to be removed via tools.

While Fin was working on more repairs on the Marauder, Jack starts to build a oxygen generator. Once that was completed also starts adding additional armor for base while clearing dirt from under the base.
