Star Citizen Retaliator

Retaliator role, variants and buying considerations. Check the source-dated RSI specifications before choosing a hull.

By Domux. Updated 2026-10-03.

The Aegis Retaliator is a classic heavy bomber: a large, crewed ship built around torpedo bays for hitting capital ships and big targets hard.

What it is

Anti-capital firepower is its job. The Retaliator carries serious ordnance and a crew to operate it, a specialist for organised strikes rather than dogfights.

Who it is for

Combat-focused crews and organisations that take on big targets together. A specialised crewed ship you work toward, not a starter.

Inspect modules and ordnance separately

The Retaliator is a modular platform. A hull listing is not proof that your chosen package includes the bays needed for a bomber configuration. Read the included modules before budgeting for torpedoes or planning strikes. A gunship and a torpedo platform solve different combat problems.

Perseus gunship role. These are buying considerations based on intended roles, not measured flight-test results.

Check the source-dated RSI specifications below for variants and production status. In-game purchase and rental availability need a separate check. For first-time access, choose a Game Package; standalone ships do not include the game licence.
