Star Citizen Retaliator
Retaliator role, variants and buying considerations. Check the source-dated RSI specifications before choosing a hull.
By Domux. Updated 2026-10-11.
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.
