Covert Ops

Anathema
Designed for commando and espionage operation, its main strength is the ability to travel unseen through enemy territory and to avoid unfavorable encounters. Developer: Khanid Innovation Khanid Innovations was quick to take advantage of the disintegration of the Crielere Project. Through shrewd diplomatic and financial maneuvering they were able to acquire a working Buzzard prototype as well as several of the former top scientists of Project Mirage to work on adapting its innovations to Khanid ship technology.
Buzzard
Designed for commando and espionage operation, its main strength is the ability to travel unseen through enemy territory and to avoid unfavorable encounters. Developer: Ishukone The Buzzard was developed according to the exacting specifications of Admiral Okaseilen Fukashi, head of the Caldari Navy Recon Division, and was the first production level ship specifically built to take full advantage of the cloaking breakthroughs achieved by Project Mirage at Crielere.
Caedes
"Terror and murder are tools that serve our great work well but only fools mistake them for ends in themselves. When an atmosphere of unremitting fear is to our purpose, by all means we should horrify and cow the weak with the ferocity of slaughter we bring to their pitiful communities. Even still, the greatest terror can be evoked with the hidden blade and subtle whispers from the shadows unseen. The Great Truth can only be approached by those who master all the ways of power: bloodthirsty fools and unreasoning murderers can never make progress on our path." – Omir Sarikusa, Meditations on a Crimson Chalice
Cheetah
Designed for commando and espionage operation, its main strength is the ability to travel unseen through enemy territory and to avoid unfavorable encounters. Developer: Thukker Mix It is unclear how Thukker Mix could master the intricacies of cloaking technology so quickly after the fall of Crielere. According to Professor Oggand Viftuin, head of R&D, the tribe managed to recruit some senior Caldari scientist that used to work on the Mirage Project at Crielere. Ishukone has denied this, claiming that the Thukkers acquired the technology from prototypes stolen by the Guristas.
Chremoas
The Chremoas is the Angel Cartel's take on the Covert Ops ship. Don't let the class designation fool you, the Chremoas is a more than capable combat vessel that takes advantage of a covert cloak, advanced targeting systems previously only seen on stealth bombers, and ample medium power module slots to pick and control the fights it knows it can win. By the time you see a Chremoas decloak, the fight is already over.
Helios
Designed for commando and espionage operation, its main strength is the ability to travel unseen through enemy territory and to avoid unfavorable encounters. Developer: CreoDron The Helios is CreoDron's answer to the Ishukone Buzzard. After the fall of Crielere, the once-cordial relations between the Gallente Federation and the Caldari state deteriorated rapidly and, for a while, it seemed as if war might be brewing. It was seen by certain high-ranking officers within the Gallente navy as being of vital importance to be able to match the Caldari's cloaking technology in an effort to maintain the balance of power.
Hydra
Based on the Triglavian Damavik-class frigate, the Hydra is an experimental vessel from the Society of Conscious Thought that melds elements of Society technology and design philosophy, with the underlying hull and unique Triglavian systems. In particular, support for covert ops and scan probe technology was added to the ship's already formidable array of capabilities. In mid YC120, the SoCT provided limited numbers of blueprints for the experimental Hydra design as part of their sponsorship of the capsuleer Alliance Tournament XVI.
Pacifier
Notorious across New Eden, the Pacifier-class frigate has made its name as CONCORD's premier fast-attack frigate, capable of laying waste even to the Angel Cartel's legendary Dramiel-class high-performance frigates. Originally based on a hybridization of the Punisher and Rifter frigate hulls, CONCORD's Directive Enforcement Department became concerned early in the Drifter Crisis that the design could no longer meet its needs. The Pacifier joined other ship classes in the DED inventory as part of CONCORD Aerospace's "Force Majeure Program" to develop enhanced variants. While CONCORD Aerospace successfully upgraded the Pacifier and other DED vessels with hyper-advanced technology, the program became a severe drain on CONCORD's resources. Consequently, the Inner Circle authorized a limited release of the Pacifier, stripped of CONCORD's advanced rapid-deployment and electronic warfare suites, to the capsuleer market via authorized dealers.
