Jericho has always strived to uphold tradition, but in the end, the faction valued effectiveness above all else, and therefore was never afraid to apply innovation in shipbuilding. The Techs were able to convey this idea to the Sentinels. They were “inspired” (if this word can even be applied to the AI) by several ships at once. Firstly, “Zhen”, which already had simple but effective AI nodes and therefore had the software ready to be utilized by the Sentinels. Secondly, the appearance of the “Geyser” weapon and the Imperial ship “Loki” became a foundation for the exterior design of the new ship, later named “Cinquedea”. And lastly, the Sentinels were able to make use of the technology from “Maller” to create the ship’s energy core. Thus, the ship turned out to be a fusion of some of the latest developments in shipbuilding, and the Sentinels had no difficulty with the computing power needed to optimize the equipment for the new ship.
Despite the fact that the Sentinels did not actively advertise their ship or talked about its capabilities in public, the number of buyers for the “Cinquedea” was high. The UMC plans to soon offer its mercenaries the opportunity to order the ship for themselves.

Jericho rank 16 ECM interceptor “Cinquedea”
The “Cinquedea” is the Sentinels’ ECM interceptor, created using a synthesis of various shipbuilding technologies. The Sentinels were able to optimize the way the technologies were adapted, producing an efficient machine. Despite its small-scale advertising campaign, the number of buyers of the “Cinquedea” has been high. The UMC is planning to get its mercenaries an opportunity to order one of these ships in the near future.
“Cinquedea” ship part
Used for production of the ship “Cinquedea”.
“Ion-cyclotron discharger” weapon
Rapid-fire plasma weapon
Hits on an enemy transfer energy from their ship into yours.
“Guided meta-field generator” active module
Makes the ship invulnerable and freezes it in place.
“Razor” protocol special module
The ship becomes immune to negative effects, captures several targets in front of it and begins to accumulate charge. When the charge is accumulated, a salvo is fired. Re-activation causes an early salvo. Activating modules, launching missiles, or firing weapons removes the immunity effect.
Unique engine modifier “Drift synchronizer”
Increases strafe speed and strafe acceleration.
Unique capacitor modifier “Superconducting switch”
Increases weapon damage and shield regeneration rate.
