New event "UMC Archives: Chronicles of the last days"

New ship MPRS “Hellas”

The Multi-Purpose Repair Ship, aka MPRS “Hellas”, was designed by engineers of the Free Worlds of Eridan to replace the obsolete Raptor-type engineering frigates. The Free Worlds were unable to afford to purchase new Armada frigates, and so their engineers sought alternative ways to solve the problem.

Named after the destroyed capital city, the MPRS “Hellas” is an adaptation of the New Empire’s experience with the “Bark-2”. The original blueprints for the modified hull used during the First War for the Bartle Sector were discovered on one of the abandoned Direktorium bases during a scientific expedition. Grasping the opportunity, the engineers of the Worlds of Eridan set to work.

The planetary bomber was heavily modified to meet military requirements. The first tests in 4624 proved the success of the scientists, and soon the MPRS “Hellas” began entering service in small batches.

In 4625, the UMC analysts noticed the potential of the ship. Initially, the center’s leadership wanted to order a large batch of ships for internal use, but it became clear that the remaining shipyards of the Free Worlds of Eridan had no capacity to fulfill the order and the contract was renegotiated. Currently, the UMC has the exclusive right to produce MPRS “Hellas” ships, and every mercenary of the center has the opportunity to order one.

Rank 5–15 Ellydium guard frigate “Drag'Thir”

Long before the Yith'Mor project was finalized, Ellydium had begun developing a guard frigate. As early as 4620 and 4621, there were small leaks of information about the corporation's desire to develop a ship with a new role. The main difficulty in creating the ship later named “Drag'Thir” was that it was almost impossible to use standard Ellydium crystal nodes.

More complex elements were required. The needed parts were removed from living Crystallids only in 4624 for the first time. Information about the Ellydium’s study of these samples was passed on to the UMC and “The Frontier Voice” news agency by a source that remains unknown. Rumor has it that Natasha Cortés herself soon gave a good talking to the informant, making them realize the full extent of their mistakes.

Conrad Dimeni was able to convince the board of directors to use this as part of a promotional campaign for the new frigate. Shortly before the first “Drag'Thir” frigates rolled off the slipway, Ellydium issued a promotional publication about the creation of the new ship. One of the brochures, later withdrawn, indicated that the Leviathan power transfer technology was used in the creation of “Drag'Thir”. Some of the ship’s pilots noticed a suspicious similarity between some of the frigate’s elements and Liu Virus infected ships, but the Ellydium explicitly denied these rumors.

The ship has performed admirably in combat. We will soon be expanding the procurement of “Drag'Thir” for our mercenaries. Nevertheless, there is a proposal to investigate the reasons for the disappearance of “The Frontier Voice” journalist at Pilgrim-11 and the possible involvement of the Ellydium corporation. We need to find out if the unregistered capabilities previously observed in “Waz'Got” are present in this ship as well.

• Necessary for the production of the ship.
  
• Can be obtained as a reward in the “Allies and rivals” event.
  

• If the ship takes damage of a selected damage type, the recharge of its modules is accelerated. At each phase, the ship receives bonuses:
  
  
  • Electromagnetic: boosts shield regeneration;
    
  • Thermal: increases weapon damage;
    
  • Kinetic: restores hull.
    

• For dealing damage to an enemy, accumulates up to 10 charges that increase the shield resistance by 10 pts. Upon activation the charges are spent to increase weapon damage by a value depending on the number of charges.
  

• Upon activation, the time slows down for the enemies inside the active radius: their modules recharge slower, their weapons have lower rate of fire and projectile speed.
  

• Launches homing missiles that separate into shards after travelling a short distance, each shard travelling towards the target.
  

• Fires a ball of plasma that deals high damage. Hitting the target lowers its speed, each subsequent hit increases the effect.
  

• Creates a beam along the direction of your aim. Allied ships within the beam become completely invisible. They can shoot and use modules while staying within the beam’s effect.
  

• Creates a special zone around the ship. Enemy ships inside the zone cannot leave it, their warp is disabled and their shield and hull resistances are reduced.
  

• Quickly attracts all enemy ships to itself. Once attracted, deals periodic damage to all enemies that increases depending on the number of enemies.
  

• Increases maximum hull durability. When the hull reaches 30% durability, produces an explosion dealing very high electromagnetic damage.
  

• Increases critical damage chance. Reduces the radar visibility of allies, but not of the ship itself.
  

• When the ship’s shield drops below 5%, the modifier produces an additional shield without any resistances. If the additional shield is not destroyed within the active time, it enhances all ship’s parameters for a short period of time.

The latest state-of-the-art engineering frigate Waz'Got is the quintessence of scientific thought and the result of collective work of all employees and scientists of the Ellydium Theta station. The frigate's incredible capabilities will provide allies with reliable support and victory in battle even over superior enemy forces.

The technology used in special and active modules is the further development of advanced scientific theory, developed under the guidance of Dr. Matthew Gilmour and Conrad Dimeni.

A unique feature of the new ship Ellydium ship Waz'Got is the ability to partially process and use the wreckages of enemy or allied ships.

The wreckage of the destroyed ships can be used to activate special module features, active modules and special weapons of the frigate.
