After the Empire fell apart, the Templars had found themselves in a bad position: most of their fleet consisted of elite and ceremonial ships, and their production was dependent on shipyards that were now located in various breakaway territories of the former state. In order to defend their territory from pirates, Aliens, and other small Empires, the Templars required a strong modern fleet. The “Dyrnwyn” ships no longer covered the growing needs of the organisation.

In 4621, the sectors under Templar control suddenly became much safer, as if all the pirates around simply disappeared. At the same time, there were rumours of rare encounters with unknown ships.

It all became clear in 4624, when the Templars suddenly offered the UMC shipyards a contract to assemble the Psiloi recon ship from the already produced parts. At that time, the Templars explicitly stated that the destruction of the pirates was a combat test of the new ship.

The ornate hull of the ship housed not only the basic systems, but also a unique scientific development: a subspace anchor. This device allowed huge boosters to be hidden in a spatial pocket, which the Psiloi pilot could summon at will. The only disadvantage of this design is the impossibility of installing the classic micro-warp engines on the ship.

The UMC plans to start the production of the new recon interceptor in the nearest future, as well as figure out the design of its unique module and weapon with the help of the blueprints provided by the Templars.
