* Sulu Loop: Often referred to by pilots as "slooping", the Sulu Loop is ideal for a ship quickly turning around and returning to the fight. The Sulu Loop involves banking the ship to one direction, before using attitude thrusters to rotate the ship 180° along its axis so ultimately it has changed its heading by 225°. Due to the stresses performed on the spaceframe during this maneuver, especially at greater velocities, it is not recommended to attempt this maneuver in anything larger than a Light Cruiser.
* Tellar Roll: Often referred to by pilots as "trolling", the Tellar Roll involves turning a ship 90° hard to port or starboard, while using maneuvering thrusters to rotate the ship a further 90° so the vessel is now facing the direction it had been approaching from, but to the right or left of its original vector. The Tellar Roll was named for its use in the Battle of Tellar, when [[XF-2|XF-2 Strike Fighters]] under the command of Commodore [[Braggins, Paul|Paul Braggins]] used the tactic to defeat numerically-superior Tellarite [[A-1 Fighter|A-1 Heavy FighterFighters]] force. Due to the stresses performed on the spaceframe during this maneuver, especially at greater velocities, it is not recommended to attempt this maneuver in anything larger than a Light Cruiser.
