== Faction Battleships ==

Faction BSs, like other faction ships, are traded through contracts rather than on the market. They usually cost several hundred million ISK.

The 'Navy Issue' or 'Fleet Issue' battleships are, with the exception of the Scorpion Navy Issue, souped-up versions of the normal BS, with extra slots, more hitpoints &c.

The pirate faction battleships are more unique, requiring two races' BS piloting skills and bringing unusual tactical combinations to the table.

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Machariel Machariel] -- Incredibly fast and agile (for a BS), and capable of dealing lots of damage. Popular for PvP, and for PvE, where it rivals the Vargur's mission completion speed.

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Raven_Navy_Issue Raven Navy Issue] -- Popular for blitzing missions as fast or faster than a Golem (but not as good for salvaging).

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Scorpion_Navy_Issue Scorpion Navy Issue] -- Not an ECM boat like the Scorpion. Like a Raven with a tougher tank but weaker damage-dealing capabilities.
