Shields
| Name | Tier | Level | Price | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wayfarer Aegis Mk I | I | 1 | 1200 | Entry Meridian shield. Larger field envelope than standard issue — trades energy efficiency for superior capacity. Common fit on new Warden and Wayfinder hulls. |
| Wayfarer Aegis Mk II | II | 15 | 5800 | Mid-tier Meridian shield. The dual-layer field geometry is a Wayfarer patent — competitors have tried to replicate it for years. |
| Wayfarer Aegis Mk III | III | 30 | 19000 | Combat-tier Meridian shield. The regen architecture is why Wardens can hold a line where other classes cannot. |
| Wayfarer Aegis Mk IV | IV | 45 | 58000 | Upper-tier Meridian shield. The energy cost is significant — this is a ship that commits to its field. |
| Wayfarer Aegis Mk V | V | 60 | 158000 | Endgame Meridian shield. The field envelope at this mark absorbs ordnance that would gut most other ships. There is a reason Wardens are what they are. |
Engines
| Name | Tier | Level | Price | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wayfarer Drift Mk I | I | 1 | 1000 | Meridian-spec drive. Slightly lower thrust than Stratum equivalents, but the warp entry time is unmatched in its class. Built for pilots who go places fast. |
| Wayfarer Drift Mk II | II | 15 | 4800 | Mid-tier Meridian drive. The fuel efficiency at this mark starts to matter on long cross-sector runs. Wayfinders use nothing else. |
| Wayfarer Drift Mk III | III | 30 | 16000 | Combat-tier Meridian drive. The combination of warp speed and turn response is why Wayfinders can enter combat through angles nobody else can reach. |
| Wayfarer Drift Mk IV | IV | 45 | 50000 | Upper-tier Meridian drive. Warp entry at this mark is nearly instantaneous. Enemies who rely on pre-positioning find it unreliable. |
| Wayfarer Drift Mk V | V | 60 | 140000 | Endgame Meridian drive. The Wayfinder exclusivity on gates and warp paths is partially the pilot. Partially this. |
Devices
| Name | Tier | Level | Price | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wayfarer Deep-field Array Mk II | II | 15 | 2000 | Calibrated for standard sensor arrays. Meridian resonance optimization optional. |
