The Orion is the second ship available to GalSpan contract pilots. Arguably the most iconic ship flying for the Spanning Corporation, the Orion has less hull in order to support a greater shield system and a higher top speed, an exchange that enabled it to become one of the most commonly utilized ships in GalSpan.

One of the most common fighters, the SF-014 Orion ship class is the direct result of recent collaboration between GalSpan and Phobos Proprietary Systems. The Orion’s rotational maneuverability and shield emission units have been enhanced significantly over previous models with advanced PPS designs. However, hull durability has been greatly sacrificed to accommodate space requirements for this advanced hardware.

Trivia[]

  • The Orion's shape is based on the constellation by the same name, which depicts the mythological Greek hunter, Orion, attacking a bull with a club in an upraised arm.
