Product Description
The Omega Octant is east of the Alpha Octant empires seen in the Star Fleet Universe (beyond the Inter-Stellar Concordium), on the other side of a galactic void. That void is a dead zone where life is impossible and ships fall apart, marking a separation between Octants. The Drex Unity is comprised of a series of intelligent robots, created by the walrus-like Drexari, who promptly gave up running their own civilization once they had the Drex to do everything for them. (There is no indication that the Drex have ever considered turning on their creators.) The Drex are strongly isolationist, only expanding when they deem it necessary to provide more living space for their Drexari masters. However, this did not prevent several other empires from going to war with the Drex. Drex ships are designed for a single purpose which, in the case of their main fleet, is war. They are controlled by advanced supercomputers, which the robotic Drex can interface with directly; this provides Drex warships with a number of advantages in battle. They are armed with wide-angle and particle phaser types, as well as light and heavy hypercannons.
Among the first carriers fielded by the Drex, this battlecruiser variant could launch all 16 of its X7 light fighters over a short period, a significant advantage among carriers of other empires in the Omega Octant. Although its firepower was noticeably curtailed, it was still a capable fighting ship in its own right, and has occasionally been referred to as a strike carrier. This ship operates all of its fighters in a single squadron. Most other empires were not capable of employing 16 fighters in squadron formation, but the Drex robots had no problem with this.
This ship is available in a variety of materials. Ships are unpainted, use standard flight stands available from many sources, and, while designed for gaming, make fine display pieces.
