”The meaning of Turnur’s destruction is plain and needs no explanation. We have always known that the Amarr Empire and its evil religion cares not if its ultimate end is to rule over an empire of ashes, blood, and desolation. Its only object is to rule the stars be they bright or be they dark. Never, I say. Never again the long night!” – Valklear General Kril Efrit, Skarkon Tribal Resistance Army, Broadcast to Republic, March YC125 The Great Caravans of the Thukker Tribe roam ceaselessly across the space of the Republic and beyond in their Great Wildlands territories, and the tribe’s ship architects are renowned across New Eden for their ingenuity. Due to their special requirements and experience, the Thukker have long functioned as a major developer of ships for the Republic, and the secret project to bring an advanced dreadnought to fruition was an ideal task for the shipbuilding circles of the Great Caravans. Close collaboration with their allies in the Republic Security Services, together with their own extensive contacts among the underworld cartels of New Eden, gave the Thukker engineers an up-to-date understanding of the “Disruptive Lance” technology that the Valravn-class Lancer Dreadnought uses alongside its batteries of projectile weapons.
