Commentary: Julianus Soter

Each Nation warship bears the name of one of the star systems attacked in the past year of incursions in the Nation War of Resurgence. CONCORD has provided the details of these attacks and a quick analysis of their basic combat capabilities. What is more interesting, perhaps, is the use of the various monikers following the system name. We hypothesize that the regions of the brain these vessels are named after, such as the hypophysis, cerebellum, and others, indicate their position and function in the greater Sansha Hive Mind, as CONCORD indicates. It may yet lead to a better analysis of how to combat Nation forces both tactically and strategically, but more information is required before accurate analysis can occur.

Please note: From what I've heard/seen so far, this list seems to be quite close to completion, if anyone has details of ships not mentioned, please evemail in game. - Ilfort [AISA]


Frigate Hulls

ID: Eystur Rhomben
Subject: Prototype Nation Vessel (ID: Eystur Rhomben)

Military Specifications: Frigate-class vessel. Significant microwarp velocity. Enhanced weapons systems.

Additional Intelligence: There were no reported civilian abductions from the Eystur VI invasion. The Eystur identifier suggests a small number of captives may have been initially unaccounted for. The Rhomben identifier suggests an overarching position within the lowest tier of the new Nation hierarchy, or alternatively, that it was created during the first phase of development.

ID: Jel Rhomben

Subject: Prototype Nation Vessel (ID: Jel Rhomben)

Military Specifications: Frigate-class vessel. Significant microwarp velocity. Limited weapons systems.

Additional Intelligence: Est. 110,000 civilian abductions from Jel III. The Rhomben identifier, shared with the Eystur Rhomben variant, suggests an overarching position within the lowest tier of the new Nation hierarchy. Given the inherent weaknesses of this vessel relative to the more powerful Eystur variant, it almost certainly came first in development.

ID: Orkashu Myelen

Subject: Prototype Nation Vessel (ID: Orkashu Myelen)

Military Specifications: Frigate-class vessel. Primary role is medium range ECM support and medium range energy warfare. Moderate microwarp velocity. No known weapons systems.

Additional Intelligence: An estimated 1,200,000 civilian were abductions from Orkashu IV during the chaos caused by four simultaneous invasions. Each invasion was launched in a different empire’s space. Although the Myelen identifier suggests a developmental state, it is clear that this version of the frigate served as the basis for the more powerful Niarja variant. Other, unknown Nation prototypes may have also originated from this design.

Sansha's Nation Commander

Sansha's Nation Commander

During the Sansha invasion of YC 112, over 15,000,000 civilians were abducted from their planetary homes. Some of these people were turned from ordinary citizens into capsuleers, re-appearing only days later in some of the largest and most powerful ships in the cluster. Those who did not become capsuleers were not left behind, however.

Corpses recovered from invading vessels suggested that everyone, regardless of their former life, was granted cloning access. Many would become crew members and engineers aboard the giant capsuleer-piloted vessels, but others chose, or were given, a different role in Nation.

Some abductees were enhanced in yet other ways. Farmers and librarians alike became military leaders with the acuity and intelligence to rival that of the empire’s top brass.

ID: Schmaeel Medulla

Subject: Prototype Nation Vessel (ID: Schmaeel Medulla)

<ins>Military Specifications: Frigate-class vessel. Primary roles are interdiction and frigate support. Fastest microwarp velocity of all known Nation frigate prototypes. Long range warp disruption capabilities. Long range stasis webifier support. Limited weapons systems.

Additional Intelligence: Est. 1,000,000 civilian abductions from Schmaeel VI. The Medulla identifier suggests a limited role in the larger Nation hierarchy, and that the Schmaeel captives are tasked with more basic, mechanical responsibilities.

ID: Youl Meten

Subject: Prototype Nation Vessel (ID: Youl Meten)

Military Specifications: Frigate-class vessel. Moderate microwarp velocity. Long range stasis webifier support. Limited weapons systems.

Additional Intelligence: Est. 350,000 civilian abductions from Youl IV. The Meten identifier is shared with the Renyn Meten variant, which is notable due to the latter’s lack of known abductees to crew the ship. This suggests that the Nation may have supplemented the crew of the more powerful Renyn variant from those taken from Youl.

Cruiser Hulls

ID: Antem Neo

Subject: Prototype Nation Vessel (ID:Antem Neo)

Military Specifications: Cruiser-class vessel. Primary role is long-range sniping support. Moderate microwarp velocity. Vessel will attempt to establish orbit ranges in excess of 100km.

Additional Intelligence: Est. 900,000 civilian abductions from Antem IV. The Neo identifier suggests this variant was designed recently, or alternatively, is an improvement upon other, pre-existing designs. Possible links to the Mara Paleo variant.

Synopsis from ISHAEKA-0059. DED Special Operations. Authorized for Capsuleer dissemination.

ID: Arnon Epithalmus

Subject: Prototype Nation Vessel (ID: Arnon Epithalmus)

Military Specifications: Cruiser-class vessel. Primary role is extreme range ECM support. Low microwarp velocity. Long range missile support.

Additional Intelligence: There were no reported civilian abductions from the invasion of Arnon III, IX and XI. The Arnon identifier suggests a number of captives may have been initially unaccounted for, as with the Eystur Rhomben and Renyn Meten variants. This supports previous conjecture that Nation’s synchronized attacks on multiple planets were at least partly designed to aid in covert abduction. The Epithalmus identifier suggests a unifying role between the cruiser-class prototypes and other hull classes, and perhaps an additional regulatory role in crew emotional response, similar to the suspected behavior of the Tama Cerebellum variant.

ID: Auga Hypophysis

Subject: Prototype Nation Vessel (ID: Auga Hypophysis)

Military Specifications: Cruiser-class vessel. Primary damage dealer amongst cruiser prototypes. Limited interdiction. Short range warp scrambling capabilities. Short range stasis webification support.

Additional Intelligence: Est. 300,000 civilians abductions from Auga II. The Hypophysis identifier suggests either a coordinating role between this vessel and other cruiser-class variants, or perhaps a regulatory role similar to the Tama Cerebellum.

Synopsis from ISHAEKA-0053. DED Special Operations. Authorized for Capsuleer dissemination.

ID: Mara Paleo

Subject: Prototype Nation Vessel (ID: Mara Paleo)

Military Specifications: Cruiser-class vessel. Primary role is long range remote shield transfer. Vessel has been enhanced with significant microwarp velocity to aid in this responsibility. Reconfiguring the vessel for a logistics role has notably weakened its defensive systems, however.

Additional Intelligence: Est. 15,000 civilian abductions from Mara IV. The Paleo identifier suggests a role that is fundamental in nature, which would be congruent with its function as logistics support.

ID: Raa Thalamus

Subject: Prototype Nation Vessel (ID: Raa Thalamus)

Military Specifications: Cruiser-class vessel. Primary role is damage-dealing. Moderate microwarp velocity.

Additional Intelligence: Est. 520,000 civilian abductions from Raa IV. In a pattern similar to the Meten-class prototypes, the Thalamus identifier is shared with another vessel; the Romi Thalamus. Romi III was not successfully invaded as far as official records indicate, suggesting that those taken from Raa may have been used as a crew resource for the more powerful Romi variant, or alternatively, played some other role in the development of the newer vessel.

ID: Romi Thalamus

Subject: Prototype Nation Vessel (ID:Romi Thalamus)

Military Specifications: Cruiser-class vessel. Primary role is damage dealing. Moderate microwarp velocity.

Additional Intelligence: There were no reported civilian abductions from the invasion of Romi III. The Romi identifier is yet further evidence that unreported abductees may have been incorporated into these new vessel prototypes, and into the Nation as a whole. The Thalamus identifier suggests a unifying role between the cruiser-class prototypes and other hull classes, similar to the Arnon Epithalmus. Notable is the higher number of known cruiser-class vessels, and that the identifiers of each belong to the forebrain. This pattern highlights a structural shift away from battleship-led squadrons, or at the least, an equality of function and responsibility between battleship and cruiser variants.

ID: Uitra Telen

Subject: Prototype Nation Vessel (ID: Uitra Telen)

Military Specifications: Cruiser-class vessel. Moderate microwarp velocity. Limited weapons systems.

Additional Intelligence: Est. 210,000 civilian abductions from VII. The Telen identifier suggests an oversight role amongst other Cruiser-class variants, or that other, more advanced prototypes may have originated from this design.

ID: Vylade Dien

Subject: Prototype Nation Vessel (ID: Vylade Dien)

Military Specifications: Cruiser-class vessel. Primary roles are damage dealing and squad enhancement. Low microwarp velocity.

Additional Intelligence: Est. 100,000 civilian abductions from Vylade II. The Dien identifier suggests an oversight role amongst other cruiser-class prototypes, or alternatively, that it was created during the first phase of development. The nature of Nation’s squad boosting technology is still not fully understood, although current intelligence from recovered wrecks indicates that the designs deviates from standard warfare links in the same way as Tech III Warfare Processors.

Battleship Hulls

ID: Deltole Tegmentum

Subject: Prototype Nation Vessel (ID:Deltole Tegmentum)

Military Specifications: Battleship-class vessel. Primary roles are strong offensive power, target painting energy warfare and long range interdiction. The second most powerful vessel amongst the new Nation prototypes in terms of potential damage output. Moderate microwarp velocity. Long range warp disruption capabilities. Long range target painting. Short range capacitor neutralization.

Additional Intelligence: Est. 450,000 civilian abductions from Deltole I. The Tegmentum identifier suggests that this vessel serves a foundational role for the other battleship-class variants, most likely in terms of design origin. The multitude of tactical capabilities present in this vessel’s design lend support to the theory that it was a test bed for a variety of Nation developments ahead of their applications in other vessel types.

ID: Intaki Colliculus

Subject: Prototype Nation Vessel (ID:Intaki Colliculus)

Military Specifications: Battleship-class vessel. Primary role is remote logistics support. Medium range shield transfer capabilities. Low microwarp velocity. Defensive systems have been significantly enhanced.

Additional Intelligence: There were no reported civilian abductions from the invasion of Intaki IV. The Intaki identifier is yet further evidence supporting the theory that not all abductees were accounted for. The Colliculus identifier suggests the vessel plays a central role in the integration of various data throughout the Nation’s greater network.

ID: Yulai Crus Cerebi

Subject: Prototype Nation Vessel (ID:Yulai Crus Cerebi)

Military Specifications: Battleship-class vessel. Primary role is long-range sniping support. Low microwarp velocity. Vessel will attempt to establish orbit ranges in excess of 100km.

Additional Intelligence: Est. 430,000 civilian abductions from Yulai. The Crus Cerebi identifier suggests a connective role between this vessel and others, possibly even non-Nation crafts. Attempts at short-wave information capture have demonstrated the futility of further efforts. Although the data passing through this vessel and other conduit-like variants can be intercepted, the encryption is still years away from being broken.

The Kundalini Manifest during the Liberation of Algintal.


The Algintal Kundalini Manifest under heavy fire.

The Kundalini Manifest flagship, present in both Algintal and Obray.

True power lies within all of us. Coiled beneath our fears and insecurities like a resting serpent, it has waited with infinite patience for those last few layers of our imperfection to be stripped away. It waits, as we strive, for a freedom only this part of ourselves truly deserves.

For as long as human history records, we have ignored that we truly are, and worse, we have ignored everything we could yet become. We must learn, now, to let go. Not everything we have taken with us so far on this journey should remain.

Our flaws and faults, these near-indelible errors pervading throughout human history, they can all be removed. Together, as one, we can overcome the enemy within.
