A private conversation in the Eschaton commander’s office:

Commander: What is the status on the prototype ship classes?

Chief Engineer: Somewhat good, I’m not sure if they will be finished any time soon though.

C: And why is that?

CE: Well.. Vortex is on its second version, Harbinger is on its 4th, Raider is on I believe its 9th, and a few other blueprints are being worked on. There’s usually about 10 versions before completion, give or take.

C: What about the modified Hell Federation corvette?

CE: Oh, yes. That one is in its final stages.

C: Very well then. Get the Corvettes & Raiders done and deploy them, along with Bastions & Mobile Hangars to aid our fighting squad on their travel to Armosnia.

CE: Yes commander.
