info: The ''Skybreaker''-class frigate was commissioned from Upwell by the New Eden
|
|
Common Defense Initiative while the organization was still a counter-Triglavian
|
|
strategy group headed by Provost Marshal Kasiha Valkanir. When EDENCOM was officially
|
|
announced as the new central command for the defense of New Eden in YC122, the
|
|
research and development of a line of ships capable of bearing radical new weaponry
|
|
was widely rumored following Triglavian raids on Upwell development facilities.<br><br>The
|
|
Upwell Consortium had been working on adapting Arcing Vorton Projector weaponry
|
|
to a ship-based form since the success of the technology as an anti-fleet weapon
|
|
on Keepstar Citadels. The first Triglavian invasions in mid-YC121 spurred that
|
|
effort on even before EDENCOM underwrote the project, providing access to scientists
|
|
and engineers from the secret weapons programs of the four core empires, and even
|
|
the SoCT.<br><br>The Skybreaker-class is intended to operate in groups as an escort
|
|
and counter-attack frigate. With strong shielding and high-output Arcing Vorton
|
|
Projectors, this swift little ship is a disruptive counter-force in any engagement.

## Summary
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
The Skybreaker is the EDENCOM frigate. It gets access to a Small Vorton Projector, a special turret that can fire chain lightning at ships. Vorton Projectors use missile damage mechanics to determine their damage application. The Skybreaker's weapon has similar damage application to Tech 1 Light Missiles (but less affected by target velocity), making it effective against most targets, albeit not especially hard-hitting.
|
|
|
|
The high price and low single-target damage of the Vorton Projector leaves the Skybreaker alongside most EDENCOM ships as a poorly-understood, rarely-used hull. However, thanks to its high speed and very high shield resistances, some pilots have found use for the Skybreaker as a kind of combat interceptor, as while it is less able to evade conventional weapons, its chain lightning is very effective at eliminating drones that would try to push it away.
|
|
|
|
The Skybreaker has also found a niche use in wormhole PvP: when wormhole groups try to break the "hole control" on a target wormhole by running pilots in in mass groups of frigates or even shuttles (which are bubble-immune) and then reshipping those pilots into pre-seeded combat hulls, defenders can use Small Vorton Projectors to eliminate these light ships as they arrive.
