  • Theta-1: The ship arcs to port around its opponent, then peels downward and to starboard.
  • Theta-2: The ship peels off to the side, climbing as it does so, then dives straight down.

Other Maneuvers

  • Kavis Teke Elusive: Developed thousands of years ago by the Menthars during their war with the Promellians, the Kavis Teke Elusive Maneuver involves a quick, slightly climbing jink to starboard. Then, equally as quickly, the pilot executes an arcing climb to port and slightly back, which not only helps him avoid enemy fire, but in a pursuit situation can put him above and behind his pursuer.
  • Kumeh Maneuver: The ship maneuvers behind a planet or other form of physical cover in a manner designed to maximize the available protection.
