"Technology is a constantly evolving monster. It never stands still, has no end, and is never perfect. "
—Eschenbach, Chief Designer, NOMA Galactic Design Bureau
Blueprint Story
The Ediacaran period was the crossroad of paleontological evolution. According to the ancient records in the Terran Sphere, drastic changes occurred in the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere of Earth hundreds of millions of years ago, which set the scene for the explosion of biological evolution and formed the early marine ecosystem. After learning about this past, the Galactic Design Bureau of NOMA Shipping Group made "evolution" the vision for this Auxiliary Ship and made substantial innovations as well as improvements to its firepower, support capability, protection, and scalability. As Eschenbach, the Chief Designer of the Design Bureau, once said at a decisive design meeting: "Living in this galaxy, we must constantly force ourselves to evolve and innovate. If we stop moving forward, we'll be eliminated before the arrival of the next Cambrian Period. "
Introduction of the Ediacaran - Heavy Firepower Auxiliary Ship's Abilities

Firepower Output
The Ediacaran - Heavy Firepower Auxiliary Ship provides guaranteed damage output against ships. Its bow is equipped with a dual-fire heavy assault cannon that can effectively deal damage to medium and large ships.
The changes made to the blueprint make it possible to equip a bow-mounted assault heavy railgun that gives this ship the ability to attack large targets.
Independent Production With Enhancement
The Ediacaran - Heavy Firepower Auxiliary Ship can swap out and equip different production systems, allowing it to independently produce frigates, escort corvettes, or destroyers outside the Base.
NOMA Shipping Group customized a production line modification module for this Auxiliary Ship. This module improves the production efficiency of independently produced ships and further reinforces the structure of these ships and aircrafts.
Support UAV System
The Ediacaran - Heavy Firepower Auxiliary Ship is equipped with the Tundra Interceptor UAV System, which is equipped with 4 Area-Denial Anti-Aircraft UAVs. It provides air defense support for allies' ships.
The changes made to the blueprint make it possible for more UAV Systems to provide battlefield support. The Hummingbird Firepower Recon UAV System carries 4 Firepower Recon UAVs, can detect the enemy's battlefield situation, share information about enemy ships in weak positions with allies, and increase the critical chance of ships' main weapons. It can also use the Colossus Guard UAV System, which carries 4 large Guard UAVs. Guard UAVs are equipped with an experimental airborne pulse weapon, allowing them to provide firepower support.
Flagship Skill - Fleet Dock
The Ediacaran - Heavy Firepower Auxiliary Ship's Integrated Support Dock System can be enhanced as a flagship. The Fleet Dock enhancements modify the Ediacaran's support equipment, allowing the fleet to expand in space. The fleet can expand at resource nodes in space, and your other fleets or allies' fleets can dock with it. Fleets that are docked to it can spend uEcoins to use its Auxiliary Ships for repairs. At the same time, the Integrated Support Dock System also increases the efficiency of repairs when repairing ships of NOMA Shipping Group.
The Integrated Support Platform System of the FSV830 - High-Speed Tactical Auxiliary Ship also provides the Fleet Dock enhancement which grants the Fleet Dock ability.
