== Notes ==

''Archon'' (''ἄρχων'') was the ancient Greek word for "ruler" (it's related to the modern English words "patriarchy" and "matriarchy"). But given the tendency of Amarr ship names to draw from specifically religious words, the Archon's name might come from the [[Wikipedia:Archon_(Gnosticism)|Archons]], powerful beings in the cosmology of Gnosticism and Manicheanism.

'''Equinox expansion''' - [https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/equinox-in-focus-new-upwell-ships Equinox in Focus: New Upwell Ships]

* Carriers will now have the capability of using a Conduit jump to take 5-30 players in the jump tunnel with them. The Number of players which are passengers for the jump is increased by a new skill, Capital Jump Portal Generation, which increases the limit by 5 per level. This is built into Carriers and does not require a module to be fitted.

* Carriers will gain the ability to fit new capital sized versions of the Micro Jump Drive and the Micro Jump Drive Field Generator, both of these modules will require a new skill, Capital Micro Jump Drive Operation.
