'''''Firestorm: Armada''''' is a science fiction wargame setting produced by the UK based Spartan Games. It has undergone only slight rule revisions since its initial release in 2010, and maintains a small but loyal fanbase in most areas. It is played as a tabletop wargame where two or more players use a variety of ships to attempt to destroy the enemy fleet, capture enemy ships, or achieve certain objectives.

* [[Standard Sci-Fi Fleet]]: Each of the core races currently has access to Frigates, Cruisers, Heavy Cruisers, Destroyers, Carriers, Battleships, and Dreadnaughts. Several also have access to [[Squishy Wizard|R&D Cruisers]], [[Big
* [[ISO Standard Human Spaceship]]: The Terrans. Boxy and wedged shaped to a tee, with some trilateral symmetry thrown in for flavour.
* [[Standard Starship Scuffle]]: The game is built around this ideal. That said, the ranges are reasonable if one extrapolates the scale.<ref>you might need a calculator</ref>
