Guide:Space warfare

Space warfare are a set of techniques and terms relating to combat in space.

Overview
Space warfare is very closely associated to marine warfare. Every ship is analagous to a submarine inside a vast ocean. Unlike battleships on the ocean's surface, spacecraft can move in three axes. Although this leaves them more open to attack, it also provides new possibilities for combat tactics.

Blockades
In order to successfully surround an opponent in space, one must arrange a blockade in a spherical formation. Battles in interstellar space would often see the use of special forcefields that a ship cannot pass through at warp.

Weaponry
As many spaceships tend to be large, laser weaponry becomes a practical weapon alongside missiles.
