——————————————————————————————————

Kuiper Shipworks has been the mainstay ship manufacturer for the Hekhonian (hek-hone-ian) Union for over 180 years, producing everything from small support craft to massive battleships for both wet navies and vacuum navies.

The Hekhonian Union hails from the world Hekhone. A small world, 2/3rds the mass of Earth, about 75% covered in water with harsh mountains and small landmasses, a sapient race of avians grew to be the apex species of the world. Resembling parrots, with 6 limbs (two arms, two legs, and a pair of arms hidden beneath their wings when folded), the Hekhonian navy is one of the only factions in known space to turn their artificial gravity off while in combat.

While a Union is how they present themselves to outside factions, the Hekhonian homeworld is anything but unified. The vast majority of the world is controlled by the Hekhonian Union, while a smaller but industrially strong faction known as the League of Independent Nests opposes the Union.

Orbiting the homeworld is a deployment of Altea-class battleships, of the block 1 manufacturing run. Spaced equidistant around the planet, one may believe them to be defensive positions for a surprise attack on the homeworld. One would say this, until they saw all of the guns pointed toward a large landmass in the northern hemisphere.

While homeworld tensions remain high, the Hekhonian Union should not be underestimated in combat. If a Hekhonian warship can see you, it can kill you. And it will.
