In addition to their defensive function, the Sentinels also use any opportunity to expand their financial assets. The artificial intelligence keeps its developments secret, but some of its projects are still commercial by nature. For instance, at the end of 4623, the development of a new covert ops ship was announced to a narrow circle of people. Y40-Q290 was one of the most unconventional of the Sentinels’ projects.
In addition to the control unit and adapted AI core, a new manual piloting system was developed for the ship, allowing even individuals without implants to control it. The ship also had a set of unique systems, including a new kinetic weapon, as well as special and active modules.
In 4624, the finished ship went on sale to different factions and the UMC under the name “Pilum”. People immediately noticed the unconventional (for a Jericho ship) shape of the interceptor, and rumours about the ship’s connection to the sudden establishment of a Sentinels’ outpost on the border with the Damned Flotilla and the possible theft of Imperial technology immediately began to circulate. However, the rumours had no effect on the sales, and the videos of onboard systems and weapons tests provided by the Sentinels impressed the public.

Unique Jericho covert ops interceptor “Pilum”

Zitat:
At the end of 4623, among a narrow circle of faces, the Guardians announced the development of a new diversion ship. Pilum was one of their most unusual projects of Jericho’s artificial intelligence. In 4624, the Guardians released it on the market for sale to factions and ETN. By the time of release of the ship, a unique kinetic weapon, new unique and special modules were developed. The Keepers' videos of tests of the ship’s systems and weapons impressed many.
“Pilum” ship part
- Used to build the “Pilum” ship
RF Blaster “Inferno”
- Fires projectiles that damage and set fire to an enemy
Active module “Forced cooler”
- When the button is pressed, it releases three arrows in turn, and the arrows are stuck into the enemy or static objects. If the arrow hits an enemy ship, it will prevent it from teleporting, inflict periodic electromagnetic damage and reduce its maximum speed. Each subsequent hit of the arrow increases damage and speed. If the arrow hit a static, it prohibits all enemy ships from teleporting
Unique modifier “Heat flux optimization”
- Briefly stops heating the main weapon of the ship
Unique modifier “Reserve shield system”
- When the shield is depleted, the ship becomes invulnerable for 2 seconds
