11 ZeroSpace is an army-scale strategy game, and its forces span more than 150 units and buildings across the playable Factions. Each faction has its own roster, from cheap expendable troops to heavy super-units, so the army you build depends heavily on who you are playing.
22  
33 That figure held for months without a first party source behind it. An entity level count of the current build settles it: 149 units and 89 buildings are enumerated across the playable rosters, so the total clears 150 on either denominator. The store puts the shipped Early Access figure differently again, at over 90 unique units and heroes, which counts the versus roster rather than every entity in the game.

55 Veterancy
66  
77 A system shared by all factions is veterancy. Units become more effective the longer they survive a battle, which rewards players who protect their forces and keep experienced units alive instead of trading them away. Combined with faction experience levels, this means a force that endures grows steadily stronger over the course of a fight.

11-Unit design varies sharply between Factions. The Protectorate favors durable, well-supported units backed by self-healing structures. The Grell lean on organic forces tied to their biomass. The Legion of Truth pairs powerful customizable tanks with swarms of cheap basic troops called thralls. On top of the base rosters, six mercenary factions add specialized units you can mix into your army.

1313 To keep big battles readable, units have generously sized hitboxes so they do not clump too tightly together. Large armies spread out on the field and read as the imposing forces they are, which makes it easier to follow what is happening as the fight grows.

15-On August 19, 2026 the studio moved a further twenty two units and structures onto the animation system already used by Commandos and Stingers: the Sentinel, Harbinger, Skrell, Exalted, Dark Disciple, Storm Bringer, Weaver, Shade, Asterion, Chronowarper, Shadow Leech, Cultist, Rageborn, Chas'ki, Heavy Trooper, Sharpshooter, Frog, Dinobot, Deadeye, Clackjaw, Harvester and the Protectorate Extractor. The studio reported large performance gains when many of them are on screen at once.
15+On August 19, 2026 the studio moved a further twenty two units and structures onto the animation system already used by Commandos and Stingers: the Sentinel, Harbinger, Skrell, Exalted, Dark Disciple, Storm Bringer, Weaver, Shade, Asterion, Chronowarper, Shadow Leech, Pak'o, Saq'chi, Chas'ki, Heavy Trooper, Sharpshooter, Frog, Dinobot, Deadeye, Clakjaw, Harvester and the Protectorate Extractor. The studio reported large performance gains when many of them are on screen at once. Four of those names have since changed. The August 28, 2026 update recorded that unit names were revised for the Cha'Kru and the Endari, and the build that followed carries the Cha'Kru Cultist as the Pak'o, the Cha'Kru Rageborn as the Saq'chi, the Endari Drake as the Wyrm, and the night form of the Endari outpost as the Awoken Hollow. The list above uses the current names. Clakjaw is the spelling the build itself uses; the patch notes have also written it Clackjaw.

28-The Endari entry carries two extras beyond the five: an alternate form of one of its units and a mobile outpost. These counts come from the community entity database rather than from a published roster, and they will move as the build does.
28+The Endari count of seven includes two entries that are not hired like the rest: the Impaler, a short-lived alternate form the group's hero can take, and the Awoken Hollow, the flying night form of its mobile outpost. The other five are ordinary hires. These counts come from the current build data rather than from a published roster, and they will move as the build does.

3030 Armor Types

32-Every unit and building carries an armor type, and weapons carry bonuses that key off it. There are five in the current build, plus a set of tags that are not armor types but behave like them for targeting.

3535 Flyer and Massive are tags rather than armor types. Flyer marks an air unit for targeting rules. Massive marks the largest things on the field: the Legion Terror Tank, Dreadnought, Monolith and Emperor Projection, the Protectorate Strider and Sol Invictus, and the Valkaru Beast, which gained the tag on August 11, 2026.
3636  
3737 Armor is also a number, held separately from the type. It subtracts flat damage from every hit, with a floor of 1 damage per attack, so it blunts fast weak attacks far more than single heavy ones. Three armor against ten attacks of 4 damage cuts 40 damage down to 10; the same three armor against one 40 damage hit saves 3.
3838  
3939 Armour types matter for damage bonuses. An update during Early Access removed the separate Harvester armour type, moving harvesters and extractors onto Medium armour and retuning every bonus that previously keyed off the old type. That happened on August 11, 2026, and the reworked bonuses landed on six units: the Grell Skrell dropped from +150 percent against Harvester to +50 percent against Medium, and the Protectorate Ironwing and Predator, the Xol Echo, the Free Corsairs Raider and the Marran Pulse Skimmer were all converted to the same +50 percent against Medium.

4141 Tiers
4242  
4343 Units and buildings also carry a tier, which marks roughly where they sit on a tech path rather than how strong they are. The scale runs from Tier 0, the structures you place before any research, up to Tier 4, with half steps at 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5, and a separate Ultimate tier for endgame units and buildings. A Protectorate Supply Platform is Tier 0; the Titan sits at Tier 2.5.

4545 Reading a Unit

4747 The stat block on a unit is worth learning because it tells you what to compare between two options. These are the fields it carries:

5050 The Protectorate Titan is a useful worked example, because it carries almost all of them:

53-Those numbers describe the build as of late August 2026 and move with the patch cadence. The Titan alone was touched on August 11, 2026, when its damage went from 7 to 8 and its bonus was changed from +100 percent against Medium to +25 percent against Light.

On August 11, 2026 its damage went from 7 to 8 and its bonus was changed from +100 percent against Medium to +25 percent against Light. On August 28, 2026 its anti air weapon lost range, from 15 to 14, and damage, from 24 to 20 a missile, and its two upgrades were consolidated onto one tier at 125 flux each.

55+Unit Index
56+ 
57+Every unit in the versus roster has its own page. The tables below list all 87 of them, grouped by the faction or mercenary group that fields them. Figures describe build ZS.c36778, current in September 2026. Mercenary units carry no build time because they are hired at an outpost rather than produced, which is a property of how they reach the field rather than a gap in the data.
