Calling all daring Commanders! A brand-new ship has entered the fray—the GS-31, a formidable Grade 4 Interceptor ready to take on Apex Raider hostiles. Whether you’re deep in the thick of Section 31’s cloak-and-dagger world or simply looking to upgrade your arsenal, the GS-31 is poised to be your next tactical advantage.
Key Features of the GS-31
Interceptor Supremacy
Designed to excel against Apex Raider hostiles, this Grade 4 Interceptor is equipped with specialized abilities to ensure you have the upper hand in every skirmish.
Gravitational Blast
Gravitational Blast is the GS-31’s signature weapon, unleashing a deadly beam that strikes directly at the hull of players and non-Armada hostiles, bypassing their shields. In addition to causing significant damage, it inflicts a Weakened status that, when combined with new research nodes, provides a serious edge in combat. If the target is a non-Armada hostile, the beam splits and continues on to strike additional non-Armada foes within the same system—turning a single shot into a widespread assault. Upgrading the GS-31 boosts the raw damage of Gravitational Blast, while specialized research unlocks the ability to hit more targets and amplifies the effects of the Weakened status, making this weapon a truly fearsome force on the battlefield.
- Direct Hull Damage: A powerful beam that bypasses shields to hit the hull directly.
- Weakened Status: Applied by the Gravitational Beam to players and non-Armada hostiles.
- Chain Reaction: If your target is a non-Armada hostile, the beam splits to strike additional non-Armada hostiles in the same system.
- Upgradeable Firepower: Boost the damage of the Gravitational Blast by upgrading your GS-31 and unlocking additional research.
Enhanced Apex Shred
- Passive Abilities:
- Apex Shred: Increases Apex Shred against Apex Raider barriers.
- Marked for Disposal: Increases base damage against Apex Raider hostiles.

Solo Wave Defense
Additionally, the GS-31 is poised to take on an elite version of the existing Solo Wave Defense, where Orion Prowlers and the new Syndicate Reavers stand ready with formidable abilities and rapid impulse speeds. In this challenging mode, waves of six to nine hostiles demand strategic use of the GS-31’s and its Gravitational Blast to counter their Apex Barrier, weaken entire groups, and swiftly eliminate them. Emerging victorious rewards you with Section 31 Access Keys and GS-31 Recon Data, both essential for upgrading the ship and exchanging for valuable Ship Parts that further enhance its combat capabilities.
