Ishiman

The Ishiman race is the first the player encounters, neutral at first to the human plight. They eventually align themselves with the Humans in the fight against the Cantharans. Most of the campaign battles are fought with Ishiman ships.

Ships
The Ishimans are a technologically advanced race with a large variety of ships. They are also a net-playable race in Ares. They also have several totally unique ships.

Cruiser
Also known as the "Shovelnose", the Ishiman Cruiser is a sturdy, well-rounded ship. It is a staple of any good Ishiman fleet, for its relatively cheap cost.

Heavy Cruiser
This high-powered ship is one of the most memorable of the entire game.
