Also the Backstory for the Mindl3ss SkunkworX goes back decades with it's BF contracts alone. Aceba One Control blocks are a relatively new aquisition, but We've been making Battlecruisers and Needle Interceptors for quite some time. I showed up with 26 Event Horizon Cruisers of 3 different model generations, some of which have been protecting The Assets of the Mindl3ss SkunkworX since it's formation. And the needle Interceptor is nearly a century old, with Billions of registrations, Millitary and Civillian, flying around Terran Space. SO yeah. My fleet had some time to establish before we joined the Dominion. Also, though brand new, Motherships, likely the largest warships this side of Terra, have joined the fleets. Their numbers are small, though as their astronomical cost and long manufacture time prevent any kind of real mass production. Currently 3 Motherships Oversee the Fleets. The Matriarch is my personal Flagship now, and spends a lot of time In the Eye (The secret location of Mindl3ss SkunkworX) along with the bulk of the reserve Fleet. The Eye's close proximity to Dominion Space allows the reserve fleet to be in system to defend the Dominion in less that 12 hours. In system, A second Mothership, The Empress oversees the 26 Event Horizon Battlecruisers Gifted to the Dominion as they patrol local space. and finally, The newest Mothership, The White Queen, remains in a fixed orbit over Capitol City, An Always Gleaming Star of the Dominion visible day and night. It serves as an orbital city, a great hub of offworld trade, a nexus of tourism, and cultural exchange center for the many daily comings and goings of the dominion and it's visitors.
Up in the fleet, each Event Horizon carries 3 wings of 12 Needle Interceptors, and the Motherships each carry 4 wings of 12 Advanced Needles upgraded with Aceba One's Control blocks for greatly increased maneuverability and versitility. Both the Interceptors and their advanced bretheren are consumate space superiority fighters, despite their age. they are fast, maneuverable and very well armed for a snub fighter. Dual Quad Needle Lasers and a pair of heavy cruise Missiles are more than enough to counter enemy fighters and even allow a small squadron of them to engage capitol ships. Their biggest weakness, along with the bulk of the fleet is a general lacking of armored durability. the Better Futures Space frames of the Needle fighters as well as the superstructure of Event Horizon Battlecruisers is not as durable as that of dedicated military corporations such as Hawkeye. Mindl3ss Space forces are fast and heavily armed, with good sheilding, but fragile once those sheilds are dropped and quite expensive overall as well as time consuming to produce. The SkunkworX isnt an industrial Shipyard, just a few slips and a research station tucked away where they cant be found, though with the recent addition of the Mothership Space Dock, the SkunkworX is growing.
The Exact specifications of the Research station and SkunkworX Shipyards is not known, nor is the exact millitary power of the Mindl3ss and the SkunkworX's combined assets. Large fleets rarely gather here, but a steady traffic of Event Horizons travels in and out of system, both to the dominion and other places in the Galaxy. The exact capibilities and strength of Mindl3ss and his Fleets remains unknown, the reserves kept on station are approximately equal to what was given to the Dominion.
