The Consortium Issue variant of the Pioneer was developed for use in ORE’s Upwell Consortium projects. It is a stronger vessel than the base hull from which it was adapted, for the tougher scenarios Upwell’s nullsec work tends to invite. This version of the Pioneer was designed in partnership with other Upwell member corporations. Inside top-secret research sites housed in unlisted locations, top designers from multiple corporations came together to help iterate on ORE’s original design. Its combination of expanded shield defense, an expanded drone bay, and superior salvage capabilities have turned the already extremely capable Pioneer into a relentless powerhouse of industry.
