Overview
There have been several designs of the Yautja ships.
Each Yautja Ship is equipped as follows:
- Radar blanketing. Though not cloaked like the hunters, all Yautja ships have radar shielding. They cannot be seen by any scanning system with the exception of gravity sensors.
- Ghost Imager. All ships can confuse missile-targeting systems.
- Turbocharger. All ships can boost their systems. This doubles speed and number of attacks. This can only be done once per hour.
- Reflective coating. All Lasers do half damage. This does not apply to Plasma weapons.
- Environment Protection. Yautja ships can travel in any environment including flying to almost to the chronosphere of the sun and even underwater.
- Remote Operation. They can autopilot in an atmosphere and in orbit as well as between systems. They cannot fire automatically but can dodge an their own. They can drop a Hunter on a planet then retreat into orbit and wait for the signal to pick up.
- Mass Destruct Sequence. Similar to the self-destruct sequence, this is a major scramming of the reactor that results in a major thermonuclear reaction. The Hunter must arm this system by remote or directly on the ship. The explosion will destroy EVERYTHING within 1-km radius and will cause 20 K the next 100-m dropping by one K every 100-M past that.
- Self-Destruct. If set by the Yautja or if he/she dies, the ship automatically disintegrates. Some form of chemical reaction occurs which eats away at all components. The ship does not explode, but simply vaporizes, leaving no remains.
- Targeting Analyzer. Yautja ships can scan enemy craft with extreme detail. This involves specifying weapon systems, life sensors, etc.
The ships have no airlock or antechamber between the opening and the ship's actual interior. The air inside is a heavy, oily smell, and is thick with warm fog reducing human visibility. The light is a dull red-orange glow that comes from the red walls covered in elaborate, incomprehensible patterns and kiande amedha armor.
The ships itself are fully automated, though the Yautja do know how to work them.
It is unknown if forcefields or some other device keeps the inside air in while the door is open.
The curving corridor opens out into a large chamber' patterned red pillars joined floor to ceiling; while other curving passages or rounded bays opened off every side. The ships are mazes.
A
Adilgashii's Ship
|
|
|---|
Adilgashii's Saucer is a unique type of Spaceship that crash-landed in the Nevada desert in 1991. The ship was captured by US military who took the ship to Cole Army base and started to do research on it. Unfortunately for them, the saucer self-destructed, taking the whole Cole Army base with it. Adilgashii survived the explosion but was later killed by Corporal Enoch Nakai.
Area 52 Ship
|
|
|---|
This individual ship was captured along with its only Yautja passenger in Area 52. The Yautja was experimented on and birthed a Predalien. Another Yautja reached the ship, retried the disc and pistol from it, and killed the Predalien. Area 52 self-destructed and the Area52 Ship escaped with its new pilot.
B
Bad Blood Ship
|
|
|---|
This crab-like spacecraft was used by the bad blood Yautja in New Jersey to escape the Enforcer Yautja. The Yautja actually killed all other members of the crew and hijacked the ship. The Enforcer ship fired upon the bad blood craft and it crashed on Earth, specifically in the Pine Barrens area near New York. The ship was wrecked and caused a big crater, but the bad blood Yautja managed to survive.
Black Asteroid Ship
|
|
|---|
The ship resembles the head of a dog. Otherwise, it has a sleep and brown design, similar to other Yautja ships. The ship is not very large, operating only one pilot.
C
City Hunter's Ship
|
|
|---|
The Lost Tribe Ship was hidden in the sewers of Los Angeles in 1997 while City Hunter hunted. It contained the Lost Tribe Clan and the trophy room with the kiande amedha skull.
The interior of the ship looks very similar to the Siberian Spaceship, with orange walls and a misty floor.
Crucified Yautja's Ship
|
|
|---|
The ship belonged to the crucified Yautja on the Game Preserve. He had a personal link to the ship through his wrist gauntlet. The ship had vertical thrusters and is one of the few Yautja ships that is known to actually land on a planet instead of dropping drop pods or crashing. The ship was blown up by a Super Yautja, who also had a link to the ship through the wrist gauntlet.
D
Dropship
|
The Yautja dropships are attached to a mothership and a Yautja hunting party can make planetfall in them. They don't come with any weapons and can actually be easily destroyed.
A dropship was destroyed on planet Ryushi when a human landspeeder crashed into it. The Yautja hunting party was left stranded on the planet and all of them died later.
E
Enforcer Ship
|
|
|---|
The enforcer ship was basically a police craft sent after any criminal Yautja who had broken Yautja law. The enforcer ship was heavily armed and blue in color.
F
Fugitive's Ship
|
|
|---|
The Fugitive crash landed with this spaceship in North America after a space battle with the Hybrid Yautja. Parts of the ship survived the crash and some Yautja tech was recovered by humans and delivered to Project Stargazer.
G
Gotham Ship
|
|
|---|
This ship shows up in Gotham City in 1993. The ship resembles Jungle Hunter's Ship but is more metallic and bigger in size. It has twin engines which are on the sides and is equipped with a powerful searchlight. The ship houses a hunting party of Yautja that come into contact with Batman, who has defeated a Yautja himself after a long struggle.
J
Jungle Hunter's Ship
|
|
|---|
Jungle Hunter's ship is a grey, fish-like Ner'Uda class ship. It dropped Jungle Hunter in a pod from orbit in 1987 so he can go on his Hunt.
The ship has two laser cannons or missiles in the front and has a cloaking device.
The Nghasa Ship design is similar to Jungle Hunter's Spaceship, but is more metallic.
L
London Ship
|
|
|---|
The Bullet resembles a long bullet that arrived in London in 1896 and was hidden in the sewers of the city. It came with a cloaking device but was still discovered by humans, including Inspector Lestrade.
M
MotherShip
|
|
|---|
The Mothership is one of the biggest known Yautja ships, used for over several millennia. Other ships can dock with it. The mothership can also release drop pods. It has advanced cloaking capabilities and packs a lot of firepower. One Mothership is capable of destroying a Colonial Marine vessel orbitting BG-386.
One Mothershhip visited Earth in 2004 at the end of a Ritual Hunt in Antarctica.
N
Nghasa Ship
|
|
|---|
The Yautja don't hunt only humans on Earth. Sometimes they like to go on actual safaris in Africa to hunt big animals. The Nghasa Ship design is similar to Jungle Hunter's Spaceship, but is more metallic.
The ship may have had cloaking technology, but the Yautja left it hidden underneath the Safari foliage, as there was lesser need for concealment in Africa.
The ship visited Earth in Kenya, late August, 1936. After a series of night attacks against workers during the building of a new railroad, a famous hunter, two park rangers and their African assistant track down and fight what the locals call a 'demon of the forest' that appears only when the 'hunting star' crosses the sky.
R
Royal Ship
|
|
|---|
Prince, a royal Yautja, arrived on LV-1201 in response to a distress signal sent by an ancient Yautja in 2231. The ship landed on a remote area of the planet.
The ship looked quite different from other ships, having a long and metallic spear-like design. Although it had a cloaking device, it was still picked up by Weyland-Yutani sensors.
S
Siberian Ship
|
|
|---|
The Yautja hunting party arrived on this sleek-design ship in Soviet Siberia. Detective Schaefer and General Philips' elite squad parachute into the icy wasteland to investigate, only to receive a warm welcome from both the Russians and the Yautja.
The interior of the ship looks very similar to the Lost Tribe Spaceship, with orange walls and a misty floor, and packs powerful engines.
U
Upgrade Yautja's Ship
|
|
|---|
The Fugitive's ship was followed to Earth by the more advanced Upgrade Yautja's ship through a wormhole. While the Fugitive Predator crash-landed his ship, the Upgrade Predator took the ship down in a quarry in North America and cloaked it. Later attempting to leave Earth with the son of Quinn McKenna, the ship as boarded by humans and crashed in the forest. The spaceship had a shield which was more useful against cutting off body parts than incoming projectiles. The Upgrade Predator's ship and its technology probably fell into the hands of humans at the end of the movie.
W
Wolf's Ship
|
|
|---|
Wolf's Ship is a really fast ship that uses a more militaristic design rather than a sleek one.
In 2004, Wolf received a distress call from the crashed scout ship, and arrived in Gunnison, Colorado in a matter of hours. It was able to use a drop pod to send Wolf to Earth and probably stayed in orbit of Earth.
