I love different designs from the different fleets. My favorite
miniature is the minnow shaped ESU Nanuchka class Corvette
(http://www.geohex.com/vift203.htm). I love this design and wish that I
had this hull in a varity of sizes to make a whole fleet.
This is he Cygnus Eclipsers. CE is both a weapons manufacturer and a
mercenary unit. This way I can field any miniature and any design I
desire. CE gained a solar system early in space exploration and was able
to defeat any "friendly takover" or "protectorate assistance" from the
major governments.
