In a joint project between the Tirton and Zarahemla shipyards, the Capsule Corporation is nearing completion of their 5 new Mark II Valiance Class flagships that will replace their (ugly) older models.

We estimate the construction will take, from beginning to end, 12 months for each ship, built simultaneously.

This is the newest version of our best ship, the Valiance Class.
