|shipimg=Atron.jpg

|caption=Atron

|info=The Atron is the Gallente fast frigate, although only having two mid slots makes it unloved for tackling in PvP despite its speed and high scan resolution. It can serve as a level 1 mission runner until Gallente Frigate III is trained for the Incursus and Destroyers I for the Catalyst.

|shipimg=Navitas.jpg

|caption=Navitas

|info=The Navitas is the Gallente mining frigate. Compared to the Caldari mining frigate (considered the best racial mining frigate) it has a slightly smaller cargo bay.

|shipimg=Imicus.jpg

|caption=Imicus

|info=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.

{{Infobox Ship Horizontal2

|shipimg=Incursus.jpg

|caption=Incursus

|info=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. It is also the only Gallente frigate with 3 turret slots. Turret fitted Incursus may deal more damage than a Tristan depending on missile skills.

|shipimg=Maulus.jpg

|caption=Maulus

|info=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.

|shipimg=Tristan.jpg

|caption=Tristan

|info=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.

|shipimg=Catalyst.jpg

|caption=Catalyst

The Catalyst is also used as a salvaging boat or suicide gank ship against small craft.

|shipimg=Celestis.jpg

|caption=Celestis

|info=The Celestis is 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.

|shipimg=Exequror.jpg

|caption=Exequror

|info=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.

|shipimg=Thorax.jpg

|caption=Thorax

|info=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.

{{Infobox Ship Horizontal2

|shipimg=Vexor.jpg

|caption=Vexor

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.

|shipimg=Dominix.jpg

|caption=Dominix

|info=The PVE Dominix fits are cap stable with Energy Management IV, Energy Systems Operation IV, Controlled Bursts III, 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 single LAR tank version should be used in easier missions and the dual LAR in harder missions. Although as your skills increase and you become more familiar with L4 missions, you may want to set up some mission-specific fitting variants. Some people prefer heavy drones, other prefer sentries. Try both and upgrade whichever you prefer to Tech 2. If you use sentries, you should consider 1 or 2 Omnidirectional Tracking Links in mid slots.

|shipimg=Hyperion.jpg

|caption=Hyperion

|info=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.

{{Infobox Ship Horizontal2

|shipimg=Megathron.jpg

|caption=Megathron

|info=The Megathron is one of the best player vs. player ships available to the Gallente. With his high amount of high slots and low slots, it can fit a sporty tank while dealing out a relatively high amount of DPS. Common setups for the Megathron include "Blaster"-throns and "Sniper"-throns, the former being a close range blaster fitted ship while the latter being a railgun fitted long range ship.

|info=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.

* Industrial ships are easily suicide ganked in highsec. Suicide ganks are more likely close to trade hubs, or on paths between trade hubs, especially in 0.5 or 0.6 systems. If you are carrying less than 20 million ISK in goods, a suicide gank is extremely unlikely. Many suicide gankers will not bother with cargo worth less than 50 million ISK, but some will. Some suicide gankers will do it simply to cause grief rather than for profit. The shield tank fitted is mostly to avoid random suicide ganks from ships with low firepower or untargeted smartbomb suicide ganks. See 'The Dark Side of Eve' in the [[Eve University Class Library]] for more information about suicide ganking and how to avoid it.
