Participation Type: Low Impact

Sitrep

Fresh off the assembly line, the Brotherhood is ready to deliver a new batch of experimental starfighters to the Severian Principate. These new fighters are intended for the Severian Principates’ top squadron for use in active patrol and combat. These deserve a special paint job, one practical for active duty yet worthy of their decorated pilots.

Meanwhile, rumors abound. A batch of experimental Particle Accelerator Rifles were found inside the warehouse. It is said they bear the marks and colors of legendary pirates that once operated in the Outer Rim.
