# Pilots

<mark style="color:purple;">Pilots are in-game digital assets.</mark>

Pilots are the base layer character and act as a manifestation of a player's progress. Pilots collect XP with each kill. There are two types of pilots: Genesis Pilots and Clones.

## Genesis Pilots

Genesis pilots are the original NodeRunners digital asset collection that consists of five races: Baleforged, Nyx, Abyssians, Erinyes and Illuminated. Capped at a supply of 3333, each genesis pilot's race provides the player with a unique stat boost to every ship under that Pilot’s control. Genesis pilots will be minted in Q1 of 2024 and can be purchased afterward through the secondary marketplace.&#x20;

#### Each pilot can access their hangar by traveling back to their Zone 1 homeplanet. Pilot homeplanets are as follows:

#### Baleforged: Zelos

* Nyx: Alastor
* Abyssians: Lethe
* Erinyes: Turan
* Illuminated: Epione

#### The stat boosts for genesis pilots are as follows:

Baleforged

* Ship Speed: 10-20% boost
* Evasion: 10-20% boost

Nyx

* Shields: 10-15% boost
* Hull: 10-15% boost

Abyssians

* Cargo: 10-20% boost
* Ship Repair: 10-20% savings

Erinyes

* Ship Cost: 10-15% savings
* XP Required: 10-15% savings

#### Illuminated

* Shield: 7-12% boost

* Evasion: 7-12% boost

## Clones

Clone pilots are the free-to-pay pilots in the NodeRunners universe and do not include a stat boost to any ships under their control. Clones do not have a homeplanet, rather they can access their hangar through the Elysian Space Station located in Zone 1.
