Marines

Not your regular foot soldiers, these infantrymen have trained countless hours for virtually all sorts of engagements that can happen in space. The go to solution to keep the peace inside the citadels.

Slaves

The ultimate hell for the free soul Gallente, a lucrative business as well as a time honoured tradition for the Amarr. Slaves have both formed and “broken” the backbone of glorious empires throughout the ages. Be careful where you travel with this “forced labour force” as not every faction is acceptive towards it.

Tourists

It’s that time of year again, the alignment of planets. Say hello to hordes of colourful shirted, camera-on-a-stick bearing people wandering mindlessly as you try to mind your business.

Inertial stabilizers I

This module increases your ship agility, making it easier to change direction or accelerate to warp speed. Side effect is a slight increase in signature radius.

It is said, that the idea of the first Innertial Stabilizer was initially invented by Vigil Salvador Sarpati after a huge collapse on the track of Caille Anniversary Race on the year YC 87. Two leaders Ju-Stri Calima and Kibas Lang were finishing their last circle and closed to the last steepest right turn of the track neck and neck. Suddenly an aileron on Calima’s vehicle stuck and she crashed into Lang`s outer wing in the middle of the turn. Both vehicles momentarily exploded and the wreckage with Land severely injured and Calima deceased crossed the finish line setting a new record unbeaten ever since.

Sarpati was so impressed with this crash and honoring of both pilots that he immediately captured the scene on a painting named «Death in Caille» now thought to hanging onboard his Victor flagman.

When Gallente military started an all-out freighter hunt on Serpentis drug smuggling operations, Sarpati remembered that experience. He ordered his engineers to detach engines from several Vigilant-class cruisers and to use them as maheuvering jets on the freighters. This innovation resulted in much faster warp bubble formation then anyone thought possible.

Until now the finest Innertial Stabilizers are still made within Serpentis Corporation, although other factions have also implemented this technology for their needs.

Stabber

Intended as initial test to prove ones working spirit, a new Minmatar designer was asked to create a ship that “looks suggestively aggressive, as if one could stab others with it”. 5 weeks later a proposal was finished and handed in to the team leader, who upon seeing the ridiculous design named the “Stabber”, immediately passed it on to her section chief hoping to make his day. When the team leader then received an invitation to talk about the funny design just a few days later, she realized in horror that the joke had been missed by the upper echelons, and the Stabber was already in full pre-production.

Thus came about this hull which was soon a mainstay of the Minmatar fleet. It is renowned for its incredible speeds, unusual shape and creative name. So much so that it is one of just a few ships gaining popularity even outside Minmatar space.

Snowball

A Snowball is a perfectly round shaped sphere made from very fine ice crystals.
Although originally invented in the Domain Region, they are now common in the whole universe and bring a little bit of happiness to everyone who is able to see their glow when fired.

Prophecy
Current:
The Prophecy is built on an ancient Amarrian warship design dating back to the earliest days of starship combat. Originally intended as a full-fledged battleship, it was determined after mixed fleet engagements with early prototypes that the Prophecy would be more effective as a slightly smaller, more mobile form of artillery support.

New:
The Prophecy is built on an ancient Amarrian warship design dating back to the earliest days of starship combat.
Going through several role and internal design changes, the only constant has been its legendary resilience that recommend it as the hard core of every respectable armor fleet. This, coupled with the more recent fitting flexibility of her high slots and the drone-based offense have seen the ship take up a variety of roles with resounding success.

attack battlecruisers

NAGA- “Gallante ships incoming, bring the big guns, ‘warping screen’ bang and the dirt is gone”
when the first Naga was created It helped shift the tides of the war, the first attack battlecruiser was created, and it began the large gun era.

Oracle- when the Caldari created the Naga, the ammarians got hold of the design, and the Oracle was born. Bringing an even greater need for the other races to follow in their steps.

Gallente- after years of the Caldari decimating us, we finally created our own attack battlecruiser, the talos and took the fight to the Caldari, we had finally created something with equal firepower.

Minmitar- “c’mon just let us test out this pile of nuts and bolts held together with duct tape, it’ll help us bring the fight back to the ammar” this was how the tornado was born, and the ammarians oracle struggled to keep up with the tornado and its firepower. one pile of nuts and bolts it was.

Punisher- When you need to punish your enemy’s, jump in a punisher and decimate them.

Considered the most fearful of all frigates, the heavy armaments, astonishing speed and well balanced tank make it the ideal attack frigate.

“Ogre I” Original Description: “Heavy Attack Drone”

New Description:

Development of this heavier, more robust drone came with much delight to pilots who were faced with greater threats. However the drawback of the simplistic design gave no wiggle room for speed, but what it lacks in speed is made up in sheer destructive power.

After a successful launch in 2005 and testing was completed at the test site: “Angel Military Complex” in deep space, it was released to the public for purchase and use.

During the first roll out, issues began arising as pilots found themselves having trouble controlling the drones, often times when used in a mining fleet, would engage at random the friendly pilots. If not taken back, into control within moments, a ships structural integrity would be compromised, or worse, decimated within moments of realization.

Complaints, and sheer outcry began to flow through the air, so production was hastily halted in 2006. A new laboratory with a dedicated team of scientists developed a coating that was put over the CPU and GPU components of these drones to isolate their sporadic behavior and attempt to eliminate the issue of “Rouge Drones”.

During the official release of the newest version of the OGRE and with a greater volume of sales, the development team worked on factional variants, as well as its upgraded counter part, the OGRE II.

BREAKING NEWS: 2019 has seen the first relapse in Rouge tendencies. We will have more updates as reports come in…

------END

I hope this was enjoyable as I enjoyed putting a bit of a backstory that works, in terms of the lore, and the game’s in game NPC’s as well as constellations.

Thank you for your time and we hope that you enjoyed the read!

Marines.

Old:
When war breaks out, the demand for transporting military personnel on site can exceed the grasp of the military organization. In these cases, the aid from non-military spacecrafts is often needed.

New
A group of proud, battle hardened, highly motivated, expertly trained soldiers who specialize in all forms of combat. Marines are typically forward deployed on the front lines of planet combat or transported around the galaxy to respond to threats. Marines thrive in chaos.

Semper Fi.

Current Description

Industry

Proposed Description

Production

The Industry tab (that opens the Industry, Planetary Production and Mining Ledger tabs).

Due to a lapse of imagination this tab was called the Industry tab to differentiate it from the Industry, Industry tab. Commonsense says that it should have been called the Production tab to differentiate it from the Industry, Industry tab. Unfortunately the naming task had been outsourced to a committee of drunken boguns called Bruce, Bruce and Bruce.

‘Integrated’ Drone
For many years after the emergence of Rogue Drones hives, Faction Navy fight to keep the hives from spreading. The constant battles result in wreckage for the surviving Rogue Drones to collect and build new hives with.
Through the wreckage of a drone hive a familiar sight is seen, drones that once belonged to Navy forces are sitting dormant awaiting orders. The drones are still recognizable but have been modified with Rogue Drone components; weapon systems changed, shield emitters altered, hull plating reinforced, propulsion enhanced.
These modifications didn’t alter the behavior of the drones, still allowing for direct control over each of them. When a functioning unit was presented for mass production it was denied, with there being concerns over using intact Rogue Drone technology.

‘Augmented’ Drone

After a successful assault of a Rogue Drone mother-ship, the wreckage was examined and within it were drones that at one point could have resembled a standard issue drone. It was clearly being altered by the hive, similar to other drones recovered from Rogue Drone hives these drones have had their systems augmented along with enhanced automation computers.
Drones with this many Rogue Drone components are dangerous, more so than the ‘Integrated’ drones. For this batch of drones have vastly superior weapon augmentations, armor plating, shield emitters, and propulsion systems.

Micro Jump Drive

Old : The Micro Jump Drive is a module that spools up, then jumps the ship forward 100km in the direction it is facing. Upon arrival, the ship maintains its direction and velocity. Warp scramblers can be used to disrupt the module. Spool up time is reduced by the skill Micro Jump Drive Operation.

The Micro Jump Drive was developed by Duvolle Laboratories Advanced Manifold Theory Unit. The drive was conceived by the late Avagher Xarasier, the genius behind several ground-breaking innovations of that era.

New: Ever wanted to know what’s it like to be a frog? Have you just seen the movie Jumper? Do you like to bounce? Well fear not, as the late and great Avangher Xarasier of Duvolle Laboratories has got you covered. Before passing on he conceived this magnificent creation that’s basically a module with a buffer upon activation that once the buffer is full, the module will jump you in the direction you are facing 100km away. Upon landing your ship will continue its inertia and momentum through space at the speed you had before jumping. It’s an excelent way to reposition yourself in space to catch or reach those pesky targets and acceleration gates. Be careful thou as warp scramblers will put an end to your star hoping.

Enjoy! and remember, no quafe before jumping!
