Emergency EM Screen Trigger
Tactical Component
When armor falls below 30%, grants the ship immunity to all damage for 6.8s and invisible. Can only be triggered once every 180s.
-
Projectional Energy Interference Beam
Superdevice
Discharges a special beam to link a target within 16km for 9s. The link deals 240 damage to the target and recovers 114 energy to the ship every 3s. The link breaks if the target is out of range.
-
Frigate Artillery
Superdevice
Attacks a target within a range of 6km, dealing 21 damage per second.
-
Frigate Std. Shield Recharger
Recharger
Recharges your ship's shield by 14 per second for 30s.
-
Frigate Std. Ion Thruster
Thruster
Boosts your ship's velocity by 100% for 30s.
The Glimmer frigate was designed as an electronic interception ship, with features focused on component compatibility and maneuverability.
During the period of Reaper Ditri (127 AG-251 AG) of Titan Empire II, harsh ship restrictions greatly damaged the interests of the Dawn Trade Union. The people of Dawn, who pursued their interests, set their sights on research into e-warfare ships with expanded capacitors and improved maneuverability and sustainability, in hopes that this could protect their commercial routes, and that they would be able to intercept pirates who stole their cargo. Due to a loss of data and parameters for many key technological details, the Dawn had to steal them from the Oracle Empire who had advanced further in electronic technology, through a series of espionage operations. Only then was the successful creation of the Glimmer frigate made possible.
The Glimmer frigate greatly restricted the activity zones of pirates and smugglers, and was continually improved. However, only its role and name has survived the passage of time.
In 1003 AG, the designers of ECD redesigned and improved the Glimmer frigate to upgrade its propulsion systems while only retaining the basic requirements of external protection for the firepower systems. To fill the gap in defense, they equipped the ship with an Emergency EM Screen Trigger developed by ECD, which could disable enemy tracking systems through wave interference when the ship was badly damaged, protecting the ship from threats. As for the weapons systems, they added a Projectional Energy Disruptor Beam to interfere with enemy ship reactor's power output by damaging it, and then extracting energy from it, achieving damage and energy recharge effects at the same time.
The current Glimmer has strong sustainability and outstanding agility. It has performed quite well in a series of campaigns against pirates and the Glick Restoration Army, making it an important ship in the Dawn fleet.
