====Technology====
Chig technology is slightly more advanced than Human technology at the beginning of the series, though only loosely, on the scale of a few decades of advancement. Chigs have [[faster than light]] spacefaring technology and advanced weapon systems. They use a combination of plasma-based energy weapons and [[ballistic missile]]s for their aerospace fighters and [[capital ship]]s. Chig ground forces use [[anti-gravity]] hover tanks (T-77s) for heavy armor and anti-personnel [[plasma weapon]]s and [[flamethrower]]s. Study of a downed Chig fightercraft in early episodes revealed that they are faster and have a better rate of climb than their human counterparts. Human "Hammerhead" fighters have a heavier weapons load and are more maneuverable. The Chigs have large battleships and a destroyer-class vessel, capable of causing energy spikes within human starship reactors, that uses a special [[microwave energy]] weapon generator. They have also developed a [[stealth fighter]] with a hull impervious to standard aerial cannon fire, and they have a red-colored fighter that can travel across the gravity field of a [[black hole]].
