Hangar - Obelisk Swarmers

Obelisk Swarmers are a type of Hangar Pet for characters of any faction.

Ship-locked Rare Obelisk Swarmers can only be obtained from the standard equipment of an Obelisk Carrier or its Advanced variant, and ship-locked Very Rare (Advanced) Obelisk Swarmers are obtained from the mission. Both of these variants are exclusive to these vessels:


 * Obelisk Carrier
 * Advanced Obelisk Carrier

Universal Rare, Very Rare and Ultra Rare (Elite) Obelisk Swarmers can be purchased from a Fleet Spire with Spire Research Facilities upgraded to Tier I, II and III respectively, and can be equipped on any vessel capable of launching hangar pets.

Slotted hangar pets will add a launch ability: Launch Obelisk Swarmers.

Hangar overview
Obelisk swarmers are ancient craft, constructed and used by the Solanae as defensive armaments. They are unmanned drones that quickly close with their targets, harassing them with powerful Antiproton beam attacks and Transphasic torpedoes in close-quarters combat.

Prior to Season Eight: The Sphere, Rare and Very Rare (Advanced) Obelisk Swarmers could only be obtained from an Obelisk Carrier or the Featured episode "Sphere of Influence" respectively. These Obelisk Swarmers are ship-locked, and are exclusive to any Obelisk Carrier. With the Season 8 update and the addition of the Fleet Spire Fleet Holding, unlocked "Universal" versions of these pets became available for use. All variants are still available in-game.

Two wings of standard-issue, Obelisk ship-locked (rare) Obelisk Swarmers come pre-loaded as part of the standard equipment of the following vessels:


 * Obelisk Carrier
 * Advanced Obelisk Carrier

Focused Antiproton Arrays
All variants of Obelisk Swarmers come equipped with unique Focused Antiproton Arrays. They appear virtually identical to regular Antiproton beam arrays. No player facing stats exist for this directed energy weapon.

Antiproton Defense Array
All variants of Obelisk Swarmers come equipped with an unique Antiproton Defense Array. This attack will fire an attack with enhanced accuracy at the nearest foe to itself that deals comparable damage to a normal Antiproton Beam attack.

For higher quality variants of this pet, the ability rank is greater and provides the following bonuses:
 * A Standard Antiproton Defense Array will fire every 6 seconds
 * An Advanced Antiproton Defense Array will fire every 4 seconds
 * An Elite Antiproton Defense Array fires every 2 seconds

Playable version
No playable version of the Obelisk Swarmer currently exists in-game.
