== Summary ==

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 a poorly-understood, rarely-used hull. However, thanks to its high speed and ''very'' high shield resistances, some pilots have found use for the Skybreaker as a kind of 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.
