The Velator can be used to go through the first tutorial missions, although upgrading to a frigate in the Military tutorial as soon as it is offered is recommended. A civilian shield booster will suffice for the first missions, although beyond the first few missions in the tutorial, civilian modules should never be used.

The Imicus is the Gallente scanning frigate, and it boasts a 15 m3 drone bay, enough for 3 light drones. Some players who train drone skills early will use if for level 1 missions instead of the incursus or catalyst.

The Incursus is the typical pve and pvp frigate for Gallente players. It is faster and has a better scan resolution than the tristan, which makes it better for tackling in pvp.

The Maulus is an electronic warfare frigate, specialized in dampening. Its low locking range makes it ineffecitve at range damping snipers. However, it can resolution damp effectively with the help of ECM in the fleet.

The tristan is an excellent pvp frigate, but requires missile skills to use effectively, which many Gallente players will not train early in their career. It is also slower and has less scan resolution than the Incursus, making it a worse tackler for typical Uni fleets.

The Celestis the the Gallente EW cruiser. Damps have a poor optimal, and even in falloff, it has difficulty applying damps at typical sniper range. Although it can do well with range damping against mid-range snipers up to 100 km or so. Resolution damping is made much more useful with ECM on the field as well.

The Exequror is the Gallente logistics cruiser. It is not often used in pvp. It has a cargo bay bonus which can make it useful for players on trial accounts who cannot train industrial ships. An Exequror fitted with Expanded Cargohold in low slots can haul over 1000 m3 in its cargo bay.

The Thorax is the first ship newbie pilots should look at to fill a damage dealing role in pvp fleets. Its bonus to MWD cap and high DPS potential make it an excellent heavy tackler.

The Vexor is also an excellent pvp ship. For low skill pilots, it is usually easier to get DPS out of the Thorax, even with more skills in drones than gunnery.

The Iteron line of ships, from I to V, are excellent haulers. The Iteron V when rigged is the industrial ship with the largest cargo capacity, although for most players and Iteron I or III will suffice. Industrials can be used to store mission loot and salvage, to haul at a later time and sell at a trade hub for more ISK than can be made in most backwater mission stations.

Although Gallente ships are usually better armor tanked, the Brutix benefits from a shield tank in several areas. Low slots can be dedicated to gank modules to increase DPS. The shield tank Brutix also has the advantage of being faster than an armor tank, which means it can get into the short blaster range sooner.

The Myrmidon can also be an excellent pvp ship, though the damage potential is much less than the Brutix. It can have a good buffer tank, and some myrmidon pvp fits have double or triple repair modules. Myrmidons can also be fit and rigged for speed with a shield tank.

The PVE Dominix fits are cap stable with Energy Management IV and Energy Systems Operation IV, and Fuel Conservation III (for the afterburner version). Meta 4 guns are used since every little bit of DPS helps when doing L4 missions. Normally you should not lose a Dominix to missions, since you should have good drone skills to kill warp jamming frigates fast. The low tank version should be used in easier missions and the high tank in harder missions. Pilots with higher cap skills might want to switch one of the CCC rigs for an Auxiliary Nano Pump. Some people prefer heavy drones, other prefer sentries. Try both and upgrade whichever you prefer to Tech 2. If you use sentries, you might want to consider 1 or 2 Omnidirectional Tracking Links in mid slots, no afterburner.

The Hyperion is unloved by many. In battleship fleets, remote repping is far superior, making the local rep bonus pointless. For Uni operations, it might act as a decent bait ship during peace time lowsec patrols for pilots with too much ISK on their hands.
