There were four main warship construction firms: Gaia, Amarr, Caldari and Mittal. Their total warship output accounted for almost sixty percent of the Pan-Human Alliance spaceships.
Most territories would not make their own warships and would, instead, directly purchase them from the four firms, doing just some small-scale modifications to these purchases thereafter. After all, the design and cost control of warships for the big four were the best in the business, and buying the finished products would be much cheaper than building them from scratch.
However, there were also territories that would buy a few special models from the big four for safety reasons or to fulfill certain specialized tasks.
This naval-issue Hookbill frigate was one such special model, not cutting cost by utilizing a complete triple-titanium plate as its hull, along with extensive improvements to its structure, armor, shields, and internal electronic systems.
