ES Beholder – Ion Kite Corvette
Previously named "Zyklop", the ES Beholder is the next generation of EuroSpace’s corvette sized Ion Kite and marks a departure from the idea of the MIC (Modular Ion Chamber) which was deemed an inefficient combat tactic. The upgrade thus adds a second prism to prevent damage loss resulting from beam combination and makes the craft more defensible, introducing a second shield as well as rudimentary point defense. This being the second upgrade to add durability to the design, it further reduces overall speed, however, the craft remains sufficiently fast and the trade off worth it.
Speed: ~82m/s
