Shipyard: Vell-os
Vell-os ships aren't really ships, they're projections of the Vell-os' thoughts. The more powerful the Vell-os, the more powerful the ship they can "fly". As a result, these ships have high shields but very little armor, and are exceptionally powerful compared to other ships in their class.

When a Vell-os has completed his or her basic training in the psi arts, one of the first things they attempt to construct is the delicate Dart. Like all Vell-os 'ships', she is actually a pure psychic barrier that protects the Vell-os pilot within. It is perfectly formed for hyperspace travel (nearly matching the beautiful Wraith), and will remain intact as long as enough of the mental energy of the Vell-os remains.

Notes:
One of the best fighters in the game, you would be well-advised to never pick a fight with a Dart. Speed is perhaps the best aspect of this ship, combined with it's much higher than average shields and a powerful (for a fighter) Flower of Spring. Javelins "carry" 3 on board.

The Arrow is an undertaking that has been known to be completed by a very skilled T3, but is more usually the in the purview of a T2. It is a mental barrier of enormous proportions that affords the Vell-os pilot excellent physical protection. The Arrow differs visibly from the Dart, in that the two side pods don't physically touch the rest of the ship; they are held there by the sheer mental strength of the Vell-os pilot. This is certainly a powerful vessel, but it is rarely seen in these dark times.

Notes:
As the mid-range Vell-os ship, the Arrow is quite good. It has very high shields for a ship of it's class, and a powerful offense. While it isn't as speedy as the Dart, you shouldn't turn your back on the Arrow for fear of feeling it's Summer Bloom rip through your ship in no time.

The Javelin embodies the hopes and desires of all the Vell-os people. A Javelin has been known to be created by very powerful T2's, but as a general rule, only T1's are capable of constructing one of these glorious works of art. A completed Javelin pulsates with the enormous mental energy of the Vell-os pilot as it travels. This mental construct is most often created by a Vell-os who is also capable of launching the devastating Autumn Petal attack and of disassociating their mind to create subsidiary vessels, making the Javelin one of the most powerful objects known to man. Only a few Javelins exist now, as it is rare for a Vell-os to be allowed to construct one.

Notes:
This is the "heavy duty" Vell-os ship. Powerful, fast, and deadly, just a few seconds of exposure to it's beams will cause you to be very dead very quickly. Combined with the three Darts on board, you should hope you don't have to face one down.
