Upwell

Seeing the need to develop a Blockade Runner, Upwell modified their Squall design with new advanced lightweight materials and cloaking capabilities. While the infrastructure hold is smaller, and some of the missile firepower was lost, the Deluge has vastly improved mobility both in and out of warp, making it the ideal choice for all infrastructure needs on the fringes of civilized space.

Building on the strengths of their Squall design, Upwell have developed their own Deep Space Transport. Replacing many of the Squall's components with advanced durable and heavy weight variants. While some mobility was lost from the bulkier components, in exchange the Torrent boasts significantly bolstered defenses, an expanded infrastructure hold and a fleet hanger. The Advanced components used are also vastly more resistant to spikes in energy, allowing the design to also expand the existing Deep Space Transport overloading benefits to energy neutralizers and energy vampire modules.
