# Races & Ship Classes
|
||||
|
||||
## Chosen Races: 1, 4, 5
|

|
||||
From the 10 concepts below, races **1 (Terran Republic)**, **4 (Mechanos Sovereignty)**, and **5 (Void Wraiths)** were selected.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Current in-game status:** The team selection screen uses temporary placeholder names ("Terran Federation", "The Collective", "Iron Order") with placeholder sprites until proper art and lore are integrated for the 3 chosen races.

### Race 5 — Void Wraiths ✅ Chosen
|
||||
**Weapon type:** Dark Energy / Gravity / Phase
|
||||

| # | Ship | Role | Description |
|
||||
