Description

Exo-Tech is a minifaction that occupies entities called "Exoships".
Exoships are stations that can teleport between systems.

The faction is hidden from the player until they find them.
Once found, the player can start a questline with them, one that will eventualy allow them to own their own Exoship, and access the factions unique gear.

How to Find them

Once you are in a system with an Exoship, you can easily spot them on your map from any distance.
However the systems themself can be difficult to find, as there are only one Exoship per sector.

It is best to think of the faction as an exploration encounter, as there are no reliable ways to spot them.

Doctrine

The faction only has a few ships, but all ships come with features that make them unique.
It focuses on a carrier and phase ship doctrine, with the ships defenses and slots being very midline-like.

Lore

A megacorporation once known as "ExoTech Engineering", a research and construction subsidiary of "Altair Exotech". Their primary purpose was on logistic efforts in the fringes of yet to be developed sectors. Being much more reliant on hyperspace technologies, much of their budget was invested into researching technologies for improved non-gate travel.

Eventually they’ve made the breakthrough they wanted, a stable fusion of a flux grid and phase-coil components, enabling the integration of hyper-dimensional aspects in a compactness barely ever seen before. With this technology they were able to construct their magnum opus, colossal stations capable of warping between systems at instantaneous speeds. Those quickly became known as “Exoships”. For a field-test, 5 of them were deployed within the Persean sector.

Now however, only one of them is known to remain. All others have been lost past the collapse, in wars the faction thought winnable due to their ability to move fast in a world send back to to a comparative stone age. But as major powers established, their aggressiveness backfired, and left barely any fragments of them left.

But they haven't gone without spoils either, having hoarded and stolen numerous Domain-grade artifacts during the early collapse, and having developed many advanced systems for their own wars, some of their riches remain on their only Exoship. But as a small target with vast wealth, they became easy prey, and such now travel through the fringes of the sector, hoping to avoid any confrontation. Only few know of their actual location.
