## Extesium A-3

*[Duality 1]* *[Duality 2]* *[Duality Rad]*

That being said, it still holds up as a decent, if in no way exceptional, option for the every-day person. Equipped with old-fashioned but effective 20mm autocannons, it comes from a time of much higher tensions and piracy rates, and beats some modern equivalents in potential. It is, however, flimsy against modern weapons, and the hyperdrives run much less efficiently, so it's not much of an exploration craft. One final bonus, though, is that it offers a nice midrange cargo space, making the A-3 more than worth the money.

## Extesium A-7

*[Duality 1]* *[Duality 2]* *[Duality Rad]*

Despite being a massive success, this drew moderate criticism from a few major political groups, would felt profiting off the war on that scale was immoral. Regardless, sales continued, and although the A-7 didn't reach the universal symbol the A-3 did, it did become one of the most popular options of its time. Sales and production of the A-3 only continued a year into the lifetime of the A-7, short of the planned five, because of the overwhelming success.

## Extesium A-11

*[Duality 1]* *[Duality 2]* *[Duality Rad]*

It was a commercial success, but not with the same intensity. The truly runaway success of the A-3 had caused the Extesium name to become associated with old, beat-up ships, out-of-date tech, and very low prices. People were looking for more modern designs, modern names, and low prices, none of which were the A-11. It was only successful because of the combination of better-than-average cargo space and the cutting-edge hyperdrive that made it an excellent courier after The Collapse, and because many A-7 parts could be used to repair the A-11, since they share the same framework.

## Extesium B-2

*[Duality 1]* *[Duality 2]* *[Duality Rad]*

Ultimately, it found its niche among those who liked to slip under the radar without sacrificing function, and as new models came out over the years that followed, it was made to look more and more like the A-3, and was used to blend in with all the other junkers, but maybe would go a step further and get much more powerful guns installed, or make other improvements, to further exploit that edge. As such, it became most popular in the dark kingdom, where stealth is often everything.

## Extesium D-6

*[Duality 1]* *[Duality 2]* *[Duality Rad]*

Not willing to waste work, and seeing this as a way to be ahead of the trend, Extesium went ahead with the release, and the D-6 went on to become a mild success. Its major failing was the price tag; the heavy, energy-hungry medium range weapons took a lot of resources, even if they offered a rare ability in combat engagement distance. The high base cost would be fine for a destroyer, but when customers are also expected to fund the fighters for such a large hangar bay, it becomes more practical to get two of a cheaper model.

## Extesium R-4

*[Duality 1]* *[Duality 2]* *[Duality Rad]*

While the years this model was in production are short, due to its rapid replacement by the S-1 at the end of the war, it sold well, and did a lot of good to recover the credibility of Extesium as Class 2 vehicle manufacturers after the M-17. Because it had such small cargo space, but decent armour and damage space, it was ironically often refit to be a mining Frigate, making it in many ways a true successor to the M-17.

## Extesium S-1

*[Duality 1]* *[Duality 2]* *[Duality Rad]*

Since then, however, Extesium's development of a new model in this subclass has been delayed numerous times. Almost as soon as it was released, it became common to see the S-1 fit as a Command Frigate, and that resulted in the release of the V-10 several years later, but no true replacement for the S-1 since then, and some hints and leaks say that's because Extesium is focused on trying to expand into the production of Class 3 vehicles, which would take a considerable amount of time to develop. At the end of the day, the S-1 still stands as a reliable mid-range choice, and even without a n updated release in decades, remains a common pick for cargo-runners the galaxy over.

## Extesium V-10

*[Duality 1]* *[Duality Rad]*

In reality, however, it was a complete failure commercially, mocked ruthlessly as a corporate cash-grab built on lazy design, and barely even a tenth of the overall units of the S-1 were produced, before the entire line was fully and officially abandoned after only 4 years of production. Many argue that the damage caused by the "V-10 stunt" was what hit the final nail into the coffin for Extesium's complete dominance over the market, as they have since faced consistently-poorer profit margins, to the point that there are now calls from those among Extesium's controlling guildmembers for the corporation to be re-branded into a conglomerate of smaller names, to exploit the new, more dynamic post-Collapse markets.
