075. SPOTLIGHT ON: Ele Flagship 'Arrowhead'


Scant details exist within Project Centennial regarding the Ele Dominion, but our Centurions have managed to glean some information by observing the Ele’s diplomatic excursions to Andar Prime.

While outside their own considerable territories, the Ele appear to use the 'Arrowhead' vessel as their flagship. As they have yet to make the starship’s name or classification known to others in the Trifold Union, reports have designated it the 'Arrowhead' due to its approximate shape.

Per initial observations, the most remarkable feature of the 'Arrowhead' is the design of its gargantuan delta-shaped hull. Whereas the ships of the line preferred by Coreworlds citizens and the Queil military are primarily constructed from fabricated metal components, the 'Arrowhead' appears to comprise expansive sheets of highly durable fabric, pulled taut over a skeleton of organic, self-regenerating stone. Though closer inspection has been difficult, our analysts believe that the outer material is an airtight synthetic weave capable of absolute insulation, incorporating solar energy collection, some form of shield projection grid and possibly also cloaking systems. Queil scientists studying this material have so far failed to produce a viable replica.

Though there is currently no way to determine whether the 'Arrowhead' is unique among the Ele fleet or simply one of many such capital ships, Centurion 63 confirmed that the same vessel has been used for each diplomatic sortie, as identified by the patterns of discolouration present across its starboard wing. It is believed that these markings may be the result of damage sustained in combat.
