Skua
Inspired by ancient stories of a 'pirate bird,' the Skua allows pilots to unleash a barrage of long range missiles that mimic that relentlessness of its namesake.

Profile
Caldari State Tactical Destroyer
The Mountain faction rallied against the Skua in the CEP, causing controversy. In an official statement on behalf of the Home Guard, Tanis Cheung claimed to have proof that Lai Dai had hired “allegedly former” Guristas pirates, and that the Skua was born of that “anti-Caldari” collaboration.
In response, the Skua was canceled. However, a handful of prototypes had already been manufactured. The CEP thought their power and nimbleness should be given to the best pilots in New Eden, so they were awarded to the winners of Alliance Tournament XXI.

Issuing authority
The faction that builds the ship
Caldari State
In the Caldari State, there is no higher honor than bringing glory to one's corporation.
The Caldari State is ruled by several mega-corporations. There is no central government to speak of - all territories within the State are owned and ruled by corporations. Duty and discipline are required traits in Caldari citizens, plus unquestioning loyalty to the corporation they live to serve. The corporations compete aggressively amongst themselves and with companies outside the State, resulting in a highly capitalistic society.
