Not every red contact is the same kind of actor. PVE regular units use fixed enemy definitions, bosses have dedicated phase logic, TDM can add neutral combat units, and room-population bots are modular player-shaped ships chosen from a separate 25-preset catalog.

Regular combat enemies

SkiffThe Skiff is the baseline light PVE attacker: cheap, common, and dangerous mainly when a wave gives many of them the same target.Open enemy entry →
HeavyThe Heavy uses the same direct pursuit pattern as a Skiff but doubles the base hull and trades fire rate for a harder shot.Open enemy entry →
TankThe Tank is an armored mobile gun platform. It advances until its rotating turret can work from a stable band, then fires slow special shells with a small splash zone.Open enemy entry →
DestroyerThe Destroyer is the largest regular combat unit. It combines front and rear twin-gun bursts with a long-range guided missile, allowing it to pressure several directions at once.Open enemy entry →

Three different meanings of drone

A player Drone module produces reusable escort drones. A Weapon Bay can launch one stronger disposable Attack Drone. The Ancient Mothership creates hostile gun and suicide drones with boss-specific command behavior. Their silhouettes and ownership differ even when the HUD uses the word drone.
