Should you ever dock your pod in a station where you have no ships in the hangar, you'll find your friendly insurance company has provided you with a very basic Rookie Ship. The four Rookie Ships are the Amarr Impairor, Caldari Ibis, Gallente Velator and Minmatar Reaper.

They come fitted with a terrible turreted weapon and a terrible mining laser. There is no real reason to use these ships for combat, given the availability of high-quality frigates through the Test Free program. They do make decent cyno frigates but require Cyno IV or better to be used in such fashion, and Cyno V or a module for the Amarr Impairor.
