* NonActionGuy: The ''Amalthea'', ''Flem BX'', ''New Babylon'', and ''Themis'' are relatively weak in combat and have abilities based around acquiring resources rather than combat. The ''Flem BX'' and the ''New Babylon'' aren't even armed.

** The ''Hunter'' has very low initiative values and a strong attack. However, it only has three health, the lowest in the game. Fortunately, each attack against the ''Hunter'' does one less damage than normal, so it can survive multiple hits, but if a battleship or enemy flagship gets a shot off and the ''Hunter'' can't use an interceptor, the ''Hunter'' is probably doomed.
*** If the ''Hunter'' gets the "Bulk" upgrade, its health is effectively doubled, making it surprisingly resilient, and moving it more into LightningBruiser territory.
** The ''Odysseus'' has only five health and five attack, but it can also support a lot of consorts and has very low initiative values, meaning it has a good chance of destroying the enemy before he can reply.

* TakingTheBullet: This is the ''entire'' purpose of interceptors. An interceptor can burn 2 energy to block an incoming attack. A lot of the game's strategy revolves around taking out enemy interceptors so your flagship and battleships can focus fire on the enemy flagship.

* JokeCharacter: The ''Flem BX'', aka "The Can". It has no weapons, its initiative scores are crap, and its special ability is a weaker version of a refinery.
** LethalJokeCharacter: Played with. While it would take immense luck to actually ''win'' a battle with the Can, no matter how it is equipped, the ship's low cost makes it the only truly expendable flagship.

''Fleets: The Pleiad Conflict'' is a ScienceFiction BoardGame from [=FryxGames=], in which players take the role of corporations battling for control of the resource-rich Pleiades... and no, this isn't a corporate sim.
The game centers on the players building fleets around various flagships and then deploying them to the various planets. If, at the end of a round, only one player has a fleet in a given system, that player receives a victory point, and the first to seven wins.

!! ''Fleets: The Pleaid Conflict'' can contain examples of:
* AsteroidThicket: Averted. Battling in the Merope Asteroid Field poses no obstacle.
* TheBattlestar: All ships are capable of deploying fighters as well as boasting considerable firepower of their own. The ''Nebuchadnezzar VI'', the ''Ezreel'', and the ''Goliath'' are the best examples, being specifically set up to deploy large numbers of fighters.
* BoringButPractical: Cruisers are the only consorts that have no special abilities, but they can both dish out and take considerable damage.
* CoolStarship: All of them.
* EarthIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse: Not for long - the back of the box states that the Pleiades' rich resources will soon lead it to overtake Earth as the center of human civilization.
* {{Faceship}}: The ''Sparta'' has the shape of an ancient Greek helmet carved into the bow.
* GlassCannon: The ''Zealous'' has only eight health, but its special ability gives it an effective attack value of twelve. Adding Heavy Weapons tech brings it up to ''twenty'', matching the might of the ''Goliath''.
** The ''Odysseus'' has only five health and five attack, but it can also support a lot of consorts and has very low initiative values, meaning it has a good chance of destroying the enemy before he can reply.
* LethalLavaLand: Tartarus appears to be volcanic.
* TheMothership: All flagships are this, although if a flagship is destroyed, its undamaged consorts do escape. The damaged ones, on the other hand, die.
* NGOSuperpower: All the corporations, who are rich enough to finance private navies of considerable firepower.
* NumberedHomeworld: Altax III. Given that there is both a gas giant and a moon visible in the picture, it is unclear whether the gas giant is the third planet in the Altax system, or the moon is the third moon of the planet Altax.
* StandardSciFiFleet:
** SpaceFighter: Fighters, natch.
