Popis
These are the ships and fighters of the Eskion Collective - a small, but technologically adept civilization hailing from a dense star cluster at the tip of one of the galaxy's spiral arms. Rimward of the Eskion Cluster is the rapidly expanding Gatesta Hegemony, while towards the galactic center lies a great void called the Echoing Sea.

The Eskion have a knack for flair - their ships are elaborate in design and often feature glowing rings and smooth curves. Though their spacecraft aren't always well-armored, they are usually well-shielded and tend to mount a lot of lightning, plasma and beam weapons. Border conflicts with the Gatesta and the increasing frequency of Xsotan incursions have led to significant expansion of the Eskion fleet in recent decades.

Eskion Collective ships are Trinium tier. Their colors are gold and cyan, and their ships are named after orchestral and operatic terms.

This is a work-in-progress "complete faction" line of ships, sort of like the Muthos Engineering Consortium.

[Fighter Blueprint] Eskion 'Cadenza' Elite Fighter
Vytvořil Velvet
The Eskion Collective's newest and most advanced fighter, the 'Cadenza' uses a heavier version of the parallel drive system originally designed for the 'Cabaletta' interceptor. Though the 'Cadenza' is slightly slower, it more than makes up for the differen...
[Fighter Blueprint] Eskion 'Zarzuela' Combat Drone Formation

Eskion EPD-2 PDVL Battery (Size 4)
