The first ship reviewed is the Alliance Chieftain, which comes with a Stigan Green paint job, a 12-piece ship kit, and specific modules like large 3C enhanced AX multicannons, medium Guardian nanite torpedo pylon, and Guardian Gauss cannons. The ship also features military-grade composite hull, 6A power plant, 6A thrusters, and various other components.
