Originally most ships in the Hub Sector were used for commercial traffic, but recently more and more ships are being outfitted for battle. Ironically, the most available weapon system to equip ships with is from an ancient Zell tournament known as Hyperbol. Hyperbol uses the Hyperon stream to materialize various projectiles for use against opponents. These projectiles were non-lethal, but the Factions quickly saw the need for lethal weaponry. It didn't take long to increase the output of the weapon system and mass produce them for use in ships of war. Now ships use weapons that were once used for sport to attack their enemies and defend their allies in this Faction War.
