The '''Skybreaker''' is the EDENCOM frigate. It gets access to a Small Vorton Projector, a special turret that can fire chain lightning at ships. Vorton Projectors use [[Missile damage|missile damage mechanics]] to determine their damage application. The Skybreaker's weapon has similar damage application to Tech 1 Light Missiles (but less affected by target velocity), making it effective against most targets, albeit not especially hard-hitting.

The high price and low single-target damage of the Vorton Projector leaves the Skybreaker alongside most EDENCOM ships as ~~being~~ a poorly understood ~~and under~~-~~utilized~~ hull. However, thanks to its high speed and ''very'' high ~~Shield~~ resistances, some pilots have found use for the Skybreaker as a combat interceptor, as while it is less able to evade conventional weapons, its chain lightning is very effective at eliminating ~~Drones~~ that would try to push it away.

The Skybreaker has also found a niche use in wormhole PvP: when wormhole groups try to break the "hole control" on a target wormhole by running pilots in in mass groups of frigates or even shuttles (which are bubble-immune) and then reshipping those pilots into pre-seeded combat hulls, defenders can use Small Vorton Projectors to eliminate these light ships as they arrive.
